Great Gear: Christensen Arms Ridgeline Scout Rifle

Christensen Arms’ new purpose-built, bolt-action Ridgeline Scout rifle was created for situations that require a lightweight, compact firearm — such as run-and-gun predator hunting or for use as a truck gun.  Specialized features include a black-nitride-coated action, 0-MOA optic rail, barricade stop, 10-round AICS drop-box magazine and flat-shoe Trigger Tech trigger, all on a tan and black carbon fiber composite Sporter stock. Weighing just 5.9 pounds, the Ridgeline Scout is available in four calibers — .300 BLK, .223 Rem., 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Win. — all with a 16-inch muzzle-threaded barrel that creates an ideal suppressor host. MSRP: $2,199.99. Contact: www.christensenarms.com
