Christiansen Ridgeline FFT Ti Question

[Thread Savage]

A Christiansen Arms FFT Ti rifle in .308 Win with a 20” barrel is listed at 4.8 lbs.

The same rifle in 7MM Backcountry with a 16.25” barrel is listed at 5.3 lbs.

Can anyone tell me what I’m missing or how this could be possible?


Here are the links I’m looking at with the spec sheets for both:

Is that really more than a half pound difference?

Would be my only guess. Christensen is known for exaggerating weight claims, lots of threads on them coming in 1/2 pound heavy, depends on the individual rifle.
If you got one within 1/2lbs of claimed and it actually shoots, probably the most you could ask for with them.
