Christensen Arms 8010116900 Mesa FFT 22" 4-Round Threaded Barrel Rifle

The Christensen Arms Mesa FFT 300 PRC 3+1 22" Threaded Barrel rifle is purpose-built for serious backcountry hunters and long-range shooters who demand lightweight performance without sacrificing accuracy or durability. This rifle bridges the gap between ultralight mountain rifles and precision long-range platforms, making it ideal for those who tackle steep terrain while maintaining the ability to make ethical shots at extended distances. The Mesa FFT platform has earned respect in the field for delivering repeatable accuracy in environments where every ounce matters.

Built around Christensen Arms' signature ultralight contour stainless steel barrel with black nitride finish, this rifle delivers superior corrosion resistance and thermal stability critical for mountain hunting in variable conditions. The 300 PRC cartridge provides outstanding ballistic coefficients and retained energy at distance, enabling hunters to maintain velocity and energy where it counts most. The threaded 22-inch barrel accepts standard muzzle devices (compensators, suppressors, or brakes), allowing customization for noise reduction or recoil management based on mission requirements. The Sitka Subalpine camo stock reduces weight to approximately 5.5 pounds while maintaining ergonomic control, and the 3+1 magazine capacity (3 in magazine, 1 in chamber) balances capacity with portability on demanding hunts.

This rifle is best suited for experienced hunters and precision shooters who regularly hunt at elevation or traverse significant distances to reach hunting grounds. The lightweight design at 8.8 pounds total weight excels in situations where sustained carry fatigue impacts shot execution—critical in backcountry scenarios where the hike-in directly affects the final stalk. Compatibility with standard muzzle devices and modern optic systems ensures seamless integration into existing tactical or hunting setups. Those employing suppressors will appreciate the threaded barrel's factory integration, which maintains accuracy while reducing signature in sensitive environments.
