The Christensen Arms 7mm Backcountry 16.25″ Bead Blasted Stainless Steel Carbon Fiber Barreled Action (model 801-16005-00) is a precision-ready foundation for a custom rifle built around the efficient and flat-shooting 7mm Backcountry cartridge, combining modern materials with rugged reliability. At its core is a 16.25″ stainless steel barrel wrapped in aerospace-grade carbon fiber, offering the strength and consistency of a match-grade bore with the weight-saving and heat-dissipating advantages of carbon composite construction — a signature technology used across Christensen Arms’ carbon-barrel platforms like the lightweight Ridgeline series. The barreled action comes finished in bead-blasted stainless steel for a durable, corrosion-resistant look and features pre-installed trigger pins that make integrating a premium aftermarket trigger straightforward. An integrated 20 MOA Picatinny rail provides built-in optical elevation, giving shooters added adjustment range for extended-distance engagement without needing riser bases. With its balance of advanced materials, compact length suited to backcountry carry, and optics-ready design, this barreled action gives builders a versatile, performance-oriented starting point for a custom 7mm Backcountry rifle that’s as suited for mountain hunts as it is for precision shooting at range.
