About the Christensen Arms Ridgeline

The Christensen Arms Ridgeline is a premium lightweight bolt-action hunting rifle and one of the lightest factory rifles in its class. It features Christensen's carbon fiber-wrapped 416R stainless steel barrel, carbon fiber sporter stock with spot bedding for consistent accuracy, a match-grade trigger, and spiral-fluted bolt. The titanium side-baffle muzzle brake reduces felt recoil while adding minimal weight. A sub-MOA accuracy guarantee reflects the match-grade chamber and barrel quality. The Ridgeline is designed for mountain hunters who demand the lightest possible rifle without sacrificing accuracy. The FFT (Flash Forged Technology) variant pushes weight even lower with an ultralight carbon stock.

The Christensen Arms Ridgeline helped establish carbon fiber as the definitive material for modern mountain rifles. At 6.25 pounds with a full-length barrel, the Ridgeline proved that hunters no longer had to choose between a lightweight rifle for the climb and an accurate one for the shot - the carbon fiber barrel delivers both, day after day, at altitude.
