I decided to purchase a rifle for hunting clients to use that was lightweight with less recoil than my 11 pound .300 win mag. I decided a carbon fiber rig would best meet my needs. Christensen Arms has been building carbon rifles since 1995 and was the first to develop the technology. I ordered the ridgeline fft in 7 PRC. The weight on this rifle is about 5 1/2 pounds and even with a Zeiss Conquest V4, it weighs only 7 pounds 11 ounces. I have about 40 rds through the rifle with it consistently producing quarter to half moa accuracy with factory ammunition. I am impressed with this rifles accuracy and quality.
