Description
There's something about a walnut-stocked rifle in .375 H&H that just feels right, and Christensen Arms clearly gets it. The Ridgeline Safari takes the classic safari rifle formula and rebuilds it with modern materials where they count. You get warm, hand-finished European walnut on the outside and a 22 inch 416R stainless barrel wrapped in Aerograde carbon fiber underneath, free floated and hand lapped for the kind of accuracy Christensen built its name on. It's the rifle you bring when the animal on the other end demands respect.
Why the Ridgeline Safari Handles Magnum Recoil So Well
The .375 H&H is a serious cartridge, and this stock was shaped for it. An aluminum bedding block and pillar bedding keep the action locked in place shot after shot, while the NXT stock design and recoil pad help spread the push across your shoulder. Up front, a removable stainless radial muzzle brake takes a real bite out of felt recoil, so staying in the scope for a follow-up shot is a lot more realistic. If you'd rather run it clean for a guided hunt, the brake spins right off the 3/4×24 threads.
Built Like a Christensen, Styled Like a Classic
The precision machined receiver runs a spiral fluted bolt with an enlarged aluminum knob, an improved bolt release, and an enlarged ejection port for smooth, positive cycling when it matters. A TriggerTech trigger breaks clean and crisp, and the action accepts standard Remington 700 pattern optic bases, so scope mounting options are wide open. Rounds feed from an internal magazine with an aluminum hinged floor plate holding 3 magnum cartridges.
Field-Ready Details on the Safari .375 H&H
Flush cup QD sling mounts front and rear make carrying through rough country simple, and the short Picatinny rail on the forearm gives you a solid spot for a bipod or tripod clamp. Between the stainless hardware, carbon barrel, and that gorgeous walnut, this is a rifle that looks the part at camp and performs when a big-bodied animal steps out. Buffalo, brown bear, moose, or elk at woods ranges, the .375 H&H has done it all for over a century, and this is one of the nicest ways to carry it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How bad is the recoil on the Ridgeline Safari in .375 H&H?
The .375 H&H always lets you know it went off, but this rifle manages it better than most. The radial muzzle brake knocks down a big chunk of the felt recoil, and the walnut stock is shaped with a recoil pad and solid bedding to spread the push out. Most hunters find it very manageable from field positions, and you can remove the brake if your guide or hunting partner prefers less blast.
What scope mounts fit the Christensen Arms Ridgeline Safari?
The receiver uses the standard Remington 700 base pattern, so you have a huge range of rings, bases, and one-piece rails to choose from. Just be sure to pick a scope with enough eye relief for a .375, since magnum recoil brings the eyepiece back toward you quicker than a standard cartridge.
Does this rifle use a detachable magazine?
No, the Ridgeline Safari feeds from an internal magazine with a hinged aluminum floor plate, which is the traditional setup for a safari-style rifle. It holds 3 rounds of .375 H&H, and the floor plate drops open for quick, safe unloading. There's no magazine to lose or rattle in the field, which is exactly why this design has stuck around on dangerous game rifles.
Is the carbon fiber barrel really worth it on a big bore hunting rifle?
It makes a real difference in how the rifle carries and shoots. The carbon fiber wrap over the 416R stainless blank keeps the barrel stiff for accuracy while trimming weight compared to a traditional steel magnum contour. That means less fatigue on long treks and a barrel that sheds heat well, and the free floated, hand lapped build is what Christensen Arms hangs its reputation on.
