Description
 
Christensen Arms - Ridgeline FFT - 270 Win - 20.0" - Burnt Bronze - Green w/Black & Tan Accents:

The Ridgeline FFT represents the latest innovation Christensen Arm's carbon fiber structural manufacturing. It features a stock with Flash Forged Technology (FFT), 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 that's a full pound lighter with a sturdy and more consistent shooting foundation. This ultra-lightweight stock combined with Christensen Arm's signature carbon fiber wrapped barrel makes the Ridgeline FFT an outstanding choice for hunts that involve hiking long distances such as backwoods hunting. The FFT manufacturing process is also 100% zero-waste: all trimmed composites and defective parts are broken down and put back into the production process, which greatly helps Christensen Arm's goal of wildlife conservation. Other features of the Ridgeline FFT include a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, due largely in part to its TriggerTech trigger, free-floating barrel, and side-baffle muzzle brake.

270 Winchester:

The .270 Winchester (or 6.9x64mm) was developed by Winchester Repeating Arms Company in 1923 and unveiled in 1925 as a chambering for their bolt-action Model 54. The cartridge is a necked down .30-03.
When loaded with a bullet that expands rapidly or fragments in tissue, this cartridge delivers devastating terminal performance.

Suggested Use:

  • Predators
  • Small Game
  • Varmint
  • Deer
  • Black Bear

Performance:

Loads are commonly available from 6.5 to 10.4 grams (100 to 160 gr), sizes with 8.4-and-9.7-gram (130 and 150 gr) loads being by far the most popular. Handloaders have a larger range of options with the availability of bullets in a number of weights from 5.8 to 11.7 grams (90 to 180 gr). Common bullet weight recommendations for shooting different game are as follows:

5.8 to 7.1 grams (90 to 110 gr) bullets: animals smaller than coyote.
8.4 grams (130 gr) bullets: antelope or other animals up to the size of mule deer.
9.1 to 10.4 grams (140 to 160 gr) bullets: deer, elk, moose and some larger animals.

Recent introductions of low-drag bullets suited to the 270 Winchester such as the Nosler Accubond Long-Range and Matrix long range bullets are promoting renewed interest in the cartridge among long range hunters.

While it is true that a .270 Winchester case can be formed from a 30-06 Springfield case, the case length of a 30-06 is 63.3 millimeters (2.494 in) while the case length of a .270 is 64.5 millimeter's (2.540 in), the same as a .30-03 Springfield. It is recommended that .270 Winchester brass be formed from .35 Whelan or .280 Remington cases.
