Christensen Arms Ridgeline .308 Win Rifle, 24" Barrel, Silver Finish

The Christensen Arms Ridgeline .308 Win rifle is a purpose-built hunting rifle that strips away unnecessary weight without compromising accuracy or field performance. Built on a billet aluminum action with a Trigger Tech trigger, this 24" rifle weighs just 6.3 pounds—light enough to carry all day without fatigue, yet rigid enough to shoot sub-MOA groups. The .308 Winchester chambering makes it one of the most versatile hunting cartridges available, effective from short-range timber to mid-distance open country, with ammunition readily available across the continent.

At the heart of the Ridgeline is Christensen Arms' proprietary carbon fiber-wrapped 416R stainless barrel with a light target contour, hand-lapped and button-rifled for consistency. The barrel is topped with a removable stainless steel radial muzzle brake that tames recoil and mitigates muzzle rise—particularly valuable in a lightweight package where felt impulse can be sharp. The action wears a natural stainless finish and ships with a standard Remington 700 optics base, so you can mount your preferred scope immediately. An enlarged ejection port and improved bolt release speed up cycling, while the internal 4-round magazine keeps the profile trim.

The stock is where Christensen Arms differentiates the Ridgeline from heavier competition rifles. A sporter-profile carbon fiber composite with black finish and gray webbing provides excellent ergonomics and durability without the weight penalty of wood or aluminum. Stainless steel bedding pillars and spot bedding lock the action down for repeatable accuracy, and a recoil pad absorbs impact. Every Ridgeline ships backed by Christensen Arms' Sub-MOA Guarantee—a promise that matters when you're betting on a clean, ethical harvest in the field.

This is a rifle built for hunters who refuse to compromise: those who hike steep country, glass for miles, and value the ability to make the first shot count. The Ridgeline's combination of light weight, carbon fiber construction, proven .308 performance, and match-grade barrel makes it an excellent choice for elk, deer, and mountain hunting where every ounce in your pack matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What optic mount system does this rifle use?

The Ridgeline is drilled and tapped for a standard Remington 700 optics base (STD 6-48). This is one of the most common mounting patterns, compatible with the vast majority of modern rifle scopes and mounts on the market.

Can I remove the muzzle brake?

Yes. The stainless steel radial brake is removable, and a thread protector is included. You can run the rifle with or without the brake depending on your preference or local regulations.

Is this rifle suitable for long-range hunting?

The Ridgeline is engineered for hunting performance with a sub-MOA guarantee, but it's designed as a general-purpose hunting rifle. The .308 Winchester is effective for hunting at typical field distances; consult ballistics and your own capability when planning shots beyond moderate range.

What is the magazine capacity?

The internal magazine holds 4 rounds in .308 Winchester. Magnum calibers in the Ridgeline lineup hold 3 rounds.
