For backcountry hunters and precision shooters who prioritize every ounce and inch, a rifle that balances weight, accuracy, and controllability is essential. Trail conditions, long approaches, and variable wind require a platform built for repeatable precision without the burden of heavy gear.

CHRISTENSEN ARMS MESA FFT is designed exactly for that mission: a lightweight, spotter-style bolt-action optimized for long hikes and accurate shots at distance. The Mesa FFT ships in a 3+1 configuration with a 22″ threaded barrel chambered in 28 Nosler, finished in Tungsten Gray Cerakote and fitted with a Black with Gray Webbing stock. Shop this product

Key features that matter in the field

The Mesa FFT uses an ultralight contour stainless steel barrel that trims weight without sacrificing harmonics. The 22″ threaded barrel accepts the seamless removable radial muzzle brake, which reduces felt recoil and preserves sight picture for fast follow-up shots. The FFT spotter-style stock brings the system weight down, starting at approximately 5.5 pounds—ideal when every mile counts.

Why the 28 Nosler works here

The 28 Nosler cartridge delivers high velocity and a flat trajectory suitable for mountainous terrain and long-range hunting. On a lightweight chassis like the Mesa FFT, the round gives extended reach without forcing shooters to carry a heavier rifle. For hunters chasing game across elevation and distance, that combination is tactical and practical.

For shooters wanting an ultralight precision bolt gun for rugged terrain, the design details—from the ultralight contour barrel to the removable radial brake—make a compelling case.
