- FFT carbon fiber sporter-style stock starts at just 5.5 lbs for all-day carry

Who This Is For
The Mesa FFT Tungsten is purpose-built for the serious backcountry hunter who logs hard miles in steep terrain and demands a rifle that keeps up without weighing them down. Whether you're glassing mule deer in the high desert or stalking elk above timberline, the 6.5 Creedmoor chambering offers flat-shooting, wind-bucking ballistics at extended range, while the compact 20" barrel makes maneuvering through tight country effortless. It's equally at home on a precision hunting rifle range for those who like to confirm their zero before the season opens.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Mesa FFT different from the standard Christensen Arms Mesa?
The Mesa FFT (Featherweight Traverse) is specifically engineered for backcountry use. Its defining feature is the ultralight carbon fiber FFT sporter-style stock, which brings the starting weight down to approximately 5.5 lbs — noticeably lighter than the standard Mesa. The FFT also uses a featherweight contour barrel for additional weight savings without sacrificing the match-grade accuracy and Sub-MOA guarantee that Christensen Arms is known for.
Is 6.5 Creedmoor with a 20" barrel a good choice for long-range hunting?
Yes — while a 20" barrel does sacrifice a modest amount of muzzle velocity compared to a 24" tube, the 6.5 Creedmoor's high ballistic coefficient projectiles retain energy and resist wind drift exceptionally well. Hunters can expect ethical performance on medium to large game at distances well beyond 500 yards, and the shorter barrel makes the rifle far more manageable in dense timber or when packing out of the backcountry.
What optics bases and rings are compatible with this rifle?
The Christensen Arms Mesa FFT uses a standard Remington 700 footprint optics base, which is one of the most widely supported platforms in the industry. This means virtually any Picatinny or Weaver-style rail designed for the Rem 700 action will fit, giving you a broad selection of rings and mounts from brands like Vortex, Leupold, Nightforce, and Talley to pair with your preferred riflescope.
