About the Christensen Arms Ridgeline Scout
The Christensen Arms Ridgeline Scout is a lightweight, bolt-action scout-style rifle chambered in .308 Winchester and other short-action cartridges. Introduced in 2021, it pairs a precision-machined receiver with a 16.25-inch carbon-fiber-wrapped 416R stainless steel match-contour barrel, a carbon fiber sporter stock, and a TriggerTech single-stage trigger. Feeding from detachable AICS-pattern magazines and threaded for a muzzle device or suppressor, it weighs under six pounds and carries a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, drawing on Jeff Cooper's scout rifle concept for a handy, do-anything hunting and field carbine.
The Scout follows Colonel Jeff Cooper's scout rifle doctrine of a compact, lightweight, general-purpose bolt-action rifle, updated with Christensen Arms' aerospace carbon fiber barrel and stock technology.
