The modern bolt-action market rewards designs that blend lightweight construction with repeatable, long-range accuracy. For hunters and precision shooters who demand a rifle that performs in the field and on the range, the build quality and component choices matter as much as the trigger and bedding system.

CHRISTENSEN ARMS RIDGELINE is a standout bolt action that quickly became one of Christensen Arms’ best sellers. It combines a signature carbon fiber-wrapped barrel with a spiral-fluted bolt, scalloped bolt knob, and a carbon fiber composite stock designed to reduce weight while maintaining rigidity. The rifle is built on a foundation of practical accuracy features: a bedded recoil lug, invar pillar bedding, and Christensen Arms’ Sub-MOA Guarantee.

Design and Build

Carbon fiber-wrapped barrels offer meaningful benefits: reduced weight, quicker cool-down, and a stiffer barrel profile relative to traditional steel-only designs. The RIDGELINE’s carbon fiber composite stock keeps the package light for glassing and long hikes while resisting environmental changes that can affect zero. The spiral-fluted bolt and scalloped bolt knob are not just cosmetic—they reduce weight and provide fast, reliable manipulation for follow-up shots.

Action and Bedding

Attention to the action is evident in the bedded recoil lug and invar pillars. Proper bedding locks the action to the stock and stabilizes the cartridge stack, while invar pillars minimize thermal expansion around the action screws. Together these elements support the Sub-MOA Guarantee by maintaining consistent harmonics and torque across temperature swings.

Performance and Applications

As a Bolt Action category rifle, the RIDGELINE is suited for medium- to long-range hunting and precision applications where lightweight carry and inherent accuracy are priorities. The carbon barrel and action design favor applications where shot-to-shot consistency and mobility both matter. Mid-article readers can View product details and configuration options.
