The Christensen Arms Ridgeline in .308 Win is a bolt-action rifle built around a carbon fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel and a lightweight chassis. At 6.3 lbs it's noticeably lighter than most comparable hunting bolt guns, which adds up over a long day in the field. The Gray/Black finish on the stock pairs with black Cerakote metalwork.

Features 

The carbon fiber wrap on the stainless barrel reduces weight and helps dissipate heat during extended shooting sessions. Threading is 5/8x24, so suppressors and muzzle brakes thread on without adapters. A muzzle brake is included and meaningfully reduces felt recoil from .308. The oversized bolt knob cycles smoothly with or without gloves, which matters when temperatures drop. 
 
The 22-inch barrel gives .308 Win cartridges room to reach their listed velocities, which is relevant for hunters working at longer distances. Four-round capacity is typical for this class of hunting rifle.

Owners of the Christensen Arms Ridgeline in .308 Win consistently single out the weight as the standout quality. Hunters who cover serious ground appreciate carrying a 6.3-lb rifle versus a conventional hunting bolt gun in the 8-9 lb range. The carbon fiber barrel and stock construction takes credit for that difference.

Accuracy reports are positive overall. Most owners report sub-MOA groups with quality ammunition, and the muzzle brake makes the .308 recoil noticeably more manageable than on lighter rifles without one.

Price is the main friction point. The Ridgeline costs more than most competing production bolt guns, and some buyers feel that gap is hard to justify unless weight is genuinely a priority. Aftermarket accessories specific to this model can be harder to find than options for more common platforms. Ergonomics get generally favorable marks, though a few shooters suggest the stock dimensions could be refined.
