For backcountry hunters and precision shooters who prioritize weight, balance, and reliability, choosing the right bolt-action platform changes a long day on the trail into a manageable mission. A rifle that cuts weight without sacrificing accuracy lets you focus on fieldcraft and shot execution when it matters most.

CHRISTENSEN ARMS MESA FFT is built precisely for that mission. The Mesa FFT’s FFT spotter-style stock starts at just 5.5 pounds, making it an exceptional choice for long hikes and steep terrain where every ounce counts. The Mesa FFT uses an ultralight contour stainless steel barrel with a Cerakote finish and features a seamless removable radial muzzle brake. Backing that hardware is the Christensen Arms Sub-MOA Guarantee. Shop this product to view options and pricing.

Design and Weight

The Mesa FFT’s spotter-style stock reduces bulk while preserving an ergonomic cheek weld and solid bedding geometry. At a baseline weight of 5.5 pounds the platform is tailored for glassing and stalks in alpine country. For hunters who carry gear for miles, that weight reduction directly improves endurance and steadiness at the shot.

Barrel and Muzzle Device

The ultralight contour stainless barrel provides an excellent balance between thermal stability and low mass. The Cerakote finish adds corrosion resistance and reduces glare — both important in varied field conditions. The seamless removable radial muzzle brake tames recoil in a compact, serviceable package; the ability to remove it easily lets you adapt the rifle to suppressed or unsuppressed setups without compromising harmonics.
