New in Box Christensen Arms Mesa FFT Titanium 6mm Creedmoor 20" 1:8" Stainless Steel Bbl Carbon w/Metallic Gray Rifle 801-01162-00Christensen Arms delivers one of the lightest steel-barreled rifles on the market with the Mesa FFT Titanium! It features a 416R stainless steel threaded barrel with a feather weight contour and a bead-blasted finish to ensure a long service life. The barrel is topped with a radial muzzle brake to cut down on recoil, but this can be removed and replaced with another muzzle device such as a suppressor. Like all the premium rifles in the FFT family, the Mesa FFT Titanium is equipped with a Flash Forged Technology stock; a proprietary and advanced manufacturing technique that does away with the status quo of overbuilding a product in order to meet safety standards. Instead, Flash Forged Technology creates an extremely lightweight structure that exceeds strength and safety margins without compromising performance. The FFT stock utilizes an aerospace monocoque shell to eliminate the unnecessary internal weight found on traditional composite stocks, resulting in a stock thats a full pound lighter with a sturdy and more consistent shooting foundation. The action is made from solid titanium, which is both lighter and stronger than steel. The Flash Forged Technology Stock, combined with the Titanium action, gives the Mesa FFT Titanium a weight of approximately 5.1 lbs, making it highly suited for backcountry hunts.
