Christensen Arms pioneered carbon-fiber-wrapped barrels in the commercial market, and that technology is the reason its rifles weigh what they do — a carbon-wrapped barrel sheds significant mass while retaining stiffness and shedding heat well. This Ridgeline Scout is chambered in .308 Winchester with a 16-inch barrel in a tan finish over stainless. The scout concept is about handiness: a short, light, fast-pointing rifle for thick timber, horseback, and truck carry, chambered in a cartridge that will do nearly any North American job inside reasonable range.
