Christensen Arms Ridgeline Scout 223 Rem

Built for the adventurous marksman who embraces the spirit of exploration, the Ridgeline Scout is a powerful, compact, and highly manoeuvrable rifle. The epitome of a "truck gun", it is the perfect choice for hunters and shooters seeking versatility, portability, and quick target acquisition.

The Ridgeline Scout uses a short, match-contour 416R stainless steel barrel wrapped in aerograde carbon fibre to shave weight while preserving rigidity. Button rifled and hand lapped, the free-floated barrel is tuned for predictable harmonics and quick, accurate follow-up shots. It is threaded 1/2x28 to accept muzzle devices for recoil control or suppression, and ships with a removable black nitride 3-prong flash hider.

Purpose-built for fast handling and close-to-medium range hunting, the Scout's carbon fibre sporter stock features a shortened profile and ergonomic grip geometry for rapid shouldering. Spot bedded with stainless steel bedding pillars and a low-profile recoil pad, it balances packability with on-target stability.

Built on Christensen's precision receiver, the Scout runs a two-lug spiral fluted bolt with a skeletonised handle and a crisp single-stage TriggerTech flat-shoe trigger. The action cycles smoothly with an enlarged bolt knob and ejection port, and it accepts AICS pattern detachable magazines.
