Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Christensen Mesa FFT

Dealer just called the Mesa FFT is on its way I should have it by Friday?

Not surprising. LGS has a Ridgeline FFT. I believe CA said they were going to try and begin filling orders in late April.

I'm betting you're gonna like it.

I hope

Ok Its in my hands Im not doing back flips yet we will shoot it and see I dont hink it is as light as advertised

I got my Mesa FFT .308 Win today and I like the FFT stock a lot, it is a nice upgrade over the old stock, fit and finish is per Christensen very good, I also really like the new FFT bolt knob ( I never did like the tiny bolt knob on my old model Ridgelines and Mesa) ...I also had some time to break in the barrel and shoot a few 3 shot groups with some of My handloads, I only had time to shoot 3 different loads, one group was a tad over MOA and the other two groups were just under MOA and the rifle performed as it should with no feeding or extraction/ejection issues...So far I like the rifle and figure it will probly stay with me a while especially if I can find some loads that shoot really well...Good luck with your rifle bmet 👍....Hb

I like the rifle as well I was thinking it was going to be lighter My Montana with a longer barrel is lighter Im keeping this one also we will see how it shots

I agree with you on the weight, I did not weigh My rifle but I dont think its quite as light as advertised but its still plenty light..I think i will try a Ridgeline FFT .308 Win or .300 WSM next, I am digging the new FFt stock 👍.....Hb

Me too I really like the stock

Fit/Finish is fantastic on my .300. Haven’t fired a round yet, but I like the larger bolt handle and the over all ergonomics. Slighlyt muzzle heavy with a balance point approximately 1” in front of the front action screw.

6lbs 3oz naked- I imagined it just under 6, but for all around use, it should fit.

Got a Ridgline FFT 300WSM on order myself. Ordered it just after new of its release. Was told delivery would right around 9 months - WTF.

Yeah for some reason Christensen is dragging their feet on the Ridgeline FFT's chambered for .300 WSM .....Looks like a pile of 308's are available right now though.....Good luck ...Hb

That should make for a fantastic do-all rifle 👍👍...Hb

22" barrel on a 28 Nosler. Did I read that right?

Yep. Don't let all the 'smoke and mirrors' of FFT shade the fact that several FFT models (calibers) saw barrels shortened to increase the weight savings.

Yeah, that and I think the assumption is many folks would be adding a suppressor.

I know I'll be adding a suppressor.

What??????!!!!! You don't wanna touch off an unsuppressed, 20-inch-tubed 300wsm?

Im Gonna Have To Have a 6.5-284...i Like The Shorter Barrels.. Way Easier To Drag around in the Mountain Brush Here in North Ga..

Oh yeah, shorter barrels are much better for my style of hunting and I sure ain’t scared of “ touching off” any .300 WSM or .300 Win as I have owned many lightweight Bolt action rifles chambered in these cartridges ( Kimber Montana’s and T3X Superlite’s) and recoil certainly is NOT an issue for me but I also don’t own a 6.5 Creed 😄....Hb
