Design and Key Features

The CHRISTENSEN ARMS RIDGELINE SCOUT packs Ridgeline performance into a compact platform. A Black-Nitride coated action improves corrosion resistance and wear characteristics, while the 0-MOA optic rail provides a direct, repeatable mounting surface for low-power optics suited to scout-style shooting. The included barricade stop helps consistent cheek weld and indexing when shooting from support positions.

Barrel, Threading, and Suppressor Compatibility

At the center of the package is a 16″ carbon fiber wrapped barrel fitted with a removable 3-prong flash hider threaded 5/8×24 — an ideal configuration for shooters planning to host a suppressor. The shorter barrel keeps overall length manageable without severely compromising the ballistics of .308 WIN, especially at typical scout engagement distances.

Action, Magazine, and Trigger

The rifle ships with a 5-round AICS drop-box magazine for reliable feeding and quick reloads. Trigger Tech’s flat-shoe trigger delivers a crisp, predictable break that benefits both natural point shooting and precision follow-up shots. These features combine to give the rifle a polished, utilitarian feel suitable for field use.

Caliber: .308 WIN — this cartridge remains a versatile choice for medium game hunting, patrol and defensive roles, and precision shooting out to practical ranges. Ammunition is widely available and performance is well understood by most shooters.

Price sits at $2037.99, a competitive figure for a carbon fiber-wrapped, scout-configured bolt action with premium components. View product details and pricing
