Barrel harmonics stay consistent because the stock doesn't flex. The 3-way adjustable match trigger customizes pull weight, overtravel, and takeup. The drilled and tapped receiver accepts standard scope mounts. Christensen Arms' bolt action cycles smoothly; the spiral-fluted bolt handle and body reduce weight further without compromising strength. ### Usage Designed for hunters who prioritize weight: sheep, mountain goat, or any backcountry application where carrying a .300 Win Mag at 6.5 lbs beats carrying a similar cartridge at 9 lbs. The 26-inch barrel gets more velocity from the .300 Win Mag case than a shorter barrel would. Also useful for precision long-range shooting where the combination of cartridge and barrel length provides retained energy at distance. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What caliber is the Ridgeline?** A: The Ridgeline is chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum. **Q: Who makes the Ridgeline?** A: The Ridgeline is made by Christensen Arms. **Q: What type of firearm is the Ridgeline?** A: It is a bolt-action rifle. **Q: What is the barrel length of the Ridgeline?** A: The Ridgeline has a 26-inch carbon fiber wrapped barrel. **Q: How many rounds does the Ridgeline hold?** A: It has a 3+1 capacity. **Q: Is the Ridgeline threaded?** A: Yes, the Ridgeline has a threaded barrel. **Q: Where can I buy the Ridgeline?** A: Compare current vendor offers on this page. ## What Reviewers Say *Quoted verbatim from YouTube reviews. Each link opens the video at the moment quoted.* > Out of the box obviously you're paying for a very high-end Gun there's nothing about this gun on any aspect of it that I have found that showed a flaw or a blemish. > > — [Southern Extreme T.V.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80rWNs7oLzs&t=89s) > Not very happy with that this is an expensive rifle so i would like to see that not be happening i don't know why we're having ejection issues. > > — [Bullets4Bucks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1owlLqyj2g&t=152s) > It is very very very small again the whole idea behind this rifle was to be able to pack it in and carry it long distances and cut down weight. > > — [Southern Extreme T.V.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80rWNs7oLzs&t=325s) > It's a single stage trigger there's literally no perceivable creep or over travel breaks very cleanly. > > — [Bullets4Bucks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1owlLqyj2g&t=76s) > I think what's happening is it's hitting somewhere up in here denting this and knocking it down so it falls back inside and i'm not sure what's causing that it probably is a manufacturing issue. > > — [Bullets4Bucks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1owlLqyj2g&t=227s) ## What Customers Say *AI-generated insights from customer reviews* The Ridgeline is well-regarded among hunters who have tested it in demanding conditions. The weight-to-caliber ratio is the standout feature in most owner discussions. 6.5 lbs in .300 Win Mag is genuinely unusual, and people who have carried it on multi-day hunts report meaningful fatigue reduction versus heavier rifles in the same caliber. Accuracy draws consistent praise. The carbon fiber barrel and match trigger work together, and owners at long range report the groups hold up to the price tag. Build quality comments are positive. The materials feel purpose-built rather than cost-optimized. Recoil comes up in nearly every discussion about the .300 Win Mag, and the Ridgeline is no exception. The lighter weight means more felt recoil than a 9-lb rifle in the same cartridge. That's physics, not a design flaw, but it's worth acknowledging for shooters who are newer to magnum rifles. Most experienced .300 Win Mag shooters adapt without issue. Price is the most common objection. The Ridgeline costs significantly more than similarly capable bolt guns built on heavier steel/wood platforms, and some buyers question whether the weight savings justify the premium. For hunters who genuinely need that weight reduction at distance, the answer is usually yes. ## Pricing **2 offers available** | Vendor | Price | |--------|-------| | Kygunco Com | $1799.99 | | Guns Com | $1837.99 | ## Similar Products - [Christensen Ridgeline Gen 3 .300 Win Mag Precision Bolt Rifle](https://gunsnation.com/p/christensen-ridgeline-gen-3-300-win-mag-precision-bolt-rifle/UCCGI4sFs) - [Christensen Arms Mesa LR Gen 3 .300 Win Mag Precision Bolt Rifle](https://gunsnation.com/p/christensen-arms-mesa-lr-gen-3-300-win-mag-precision-bolt-rifle/UCEGrR6b6) - [Christensen Ridgeline Gen 3 Left-Hand .300 Win Mag Precision Bolt Rifle](https://gunsnation.com/p/christensen-ridgeline-gen-3-left-hand-300-win-mag-precision-bolt-rifle/UCCGI4sH8) - [Christensen Ridgeline .300 Win Mag Gen 3 Bolt Action Rifle - Green](https://gunsnation.com/p/christensen-ridgeline-300-win-mag-gen-3-bolt-action-rifle-green/UCEGrR6L1) - [Christensen Arms Ridgeline FFT .300 Win Mag Precision Rifle](https://gunsnation.com/p/christensen-arms-ridgeline-fft-300-win-mag-precision-rifle/UCCGI4t0R) - [Christensen Ridgeline FFT .300 Win Mag 22" Carbon Fiber Bolt Rifle](https://gunsnation.com/p/christensen-ridgeline-fft-300-win-mag-22-carbon-fiber-bolt-rifle/UCCGI4tBc) --- *Data from [GunsNation](https://gunsnation.com)*
