CHRISTENSEN ARMS Ridgeline Scout | .223 Rem | 16-inch | 8010612200

The Christensen Arms Ridgeline Scout is a compact bolt-action sporting rifle chambered in .223 Rem/5.56 NATO with a 16-inch carbon-fiber-wrapped barrel and a tan carbon-fiber composite sporter stock trimmed with black webbing. The action carries a Black Nitride finish and a 0-MOA optic rail; the rifle ships with an AICS-compatible detachable magazine and a removable 3-prong flash hider. For an optic that pairs well with the Ridgeline Scout without exceeding $1,000, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 for general-purpose precision and field use.

Applications: varmint/field hunting and precision target work from improvised rests or bench setups.
