Who This Is For
This rifle is made for elk hunters, mule deer chasers, and mountain goat pursuers who log serious vertical miles and need every ounce to count.

It's equally at home on a Wyoming ridge as it is punching tight groups at 500 yards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 6.5 Creedmoor a good caliber for backcountry big game hunting?
Absolutely. The 6.5 Creedmoor has become one of the most popular hunting cartridges for good reason — it offers a flat trajectory, excellent long-range accuracy, manageable recoil, and sufficient energy for deer, elk, and similar game at practical hunting distances. Paired with the Mesa FFT's 20-inch barrel, you retain excellent ballistic performance while keeping overall rifle length compact and pack-friendly.
What does the Sub-MOA Guarantee from Christensen Arms actually mean?
Christensen Arms guarantees that every Mesa FFT will shoot sub-minute-of-angle (MOA) groups — meaning less than 1 inch at 100 yards — when using quality factory ammunition. This is a factory-backed accuracy promise, not just a marketing claim, giving buyers confidence that their rifle has been verified for precision before it leaves the production facility.
Can I use a suppressor with the Mesa FFT?
Yes. The Mesa FFT features a threaded muzzle beneath the seamless radial muzzle brake, making it suppressor-ready. Simply remove the muzzle brake and thread on a compatible suppressor. Be sure to verify the thread pitch specification with Christensen Arms or your suppressor manufacturer to ensure a proper fit before purchasing a suppressor.
