Christensen Arms 8010107500 Mesa FFT 6.5 PRC 20" 5-Round Rifle

The Christensen Arms Mesa FFT 6.5 PRC 20" 5-Round Rifle is engineered for precision shooters and tactical operators who demand lightweight performance without sacrificing long-range capability. Built on a modern short-action platform, this rifle excels in remote fieldwork, competitive precision rifle matches, and demanding hunting applications where weight and accuracy directly impact mission success. The 6.5 PRC cartridge delivers proven ballistics at extended distances, making this rifle ideal for professionals and serious shooters who refuse to compromise on terminal performance or handling characteristics.

Christensen Arms' FFT (Featherweight Technology) construction achieves an 8.8-pound fighting weight through proprietary carbon-fiber reinforced barrel and precision machining, reducing shooter fatigue during long operations or hunts while maintaining rigidity critical for sub-MOA accuracy. The 20-inch barrel strikes an optimal balance between velocity retention and practical maneuverability in tactical environments, while the 5-round magazine provides sufficient capacity for most applications without excessive weight penalty. This configuration delivers the ballistic efficiency of the 6.5 PRC round—a modern magnum optimized for 1,000+ yard performance—with controllability that enables rapid, accurate follow-up shots in dynamic scenarios.

This rifle benefits tactical teams, precision marksmen, long-range hunters, and law enforcement designated marksmen who operate in weight-sensitive or mountainous terrain where traditional magnum rifles become liabilities. The compact 48-inch overall length facilitates transport in vehicles, aircraft, and over rough terrain without the bulk of standard 24-inch or longer precision platforms. Mesa FFT rifles are compatible with standard long-action optic mounts and precision accessories, allowing integration with existing equipment ecosystems—verify your scope base height and rings for proper cheek weld with your intended optic configuration.
