Christensen Arms Modern Hunting Rifle

[Unckebob]

It says in the description it has a carbon wrapped barrel.

I misread it like an idiot,

Folks are talking trash but get a few adult beverages in them and there'll be some takers. There always are.

When they announced it at shot this year I figured it would have a $1500 msrp and compete with the sako s20. At the $3400 price, it competes with nothing.

Broz and his sponsored crew seem to be the only ones who get CAs that actually function properly, so between that and the price I would never consider buying one of these.

Um , yeah . it's a no for me dog . LOL

A little too heavy for me…that gun weighs 5lbs and it is worth 3400.

Looks like it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every limb on the way down

That gun is a head scratcher. We get it, the FFTs are made out of used milk bottles or whatever.

I recently bought a new Alamo Precision Maverick for many hundreds cheaper. Christensen seems to have taken the "F-you pricing" approach with this one, similar to companies like Yeti.

The MHR is ugly and out of my price range. But, the talk of CA being junk is off base. I have shot two and own one of the Ridgelines in 6.5 PRC. Both rifles had good fit, cycled smooth enough and are both sub MOA. I bought mine used from the original purchaser who is a trusted friend. He bought the FFT and loves it also. I am not a fanboy as I also love my Tikka T3 SL, Browning HCS and a host of Remington Model Sevens. Only accurate rifles are interesting. The rest get moved down the road.

Dude I’ve never heard of these guys and they are in my backyard. I’m pretty impressed with what I’m reading. Definitely going to give them a hard look at doing a rifle for me.

 

[Whisky]

It's an ugly, heavy, overpriced production rifle, also apparently for "greenies".

 

[Steve O]

I don’t like it. Much better options out there for that price.

 

[Mountainman007]

Does anyone know if you can remove the front stud of the Mesa FFT?

Precisely. Hard pass.

I'm interested in the review. The features are good but that MSRP is a bit high, even on gun.deals it's ~3300

I think they are trying to create an alternative to Gunwerks but at a fraction of the price. For that money, you're much better going with a custom, you can build a DIY with pre-fits for under 4k.

This one for example in 6.5 CM Defiance/Proof/McMillan/Hawkins/TriggerTech
