Description
Walnut and carbon fiber are not two materials you expect to see on the same rifle, and that is exactly what makes the Ridgeline Safari such a standout. Christensen Arms took the Ridgeline platform hunters already trust and dressed it in genuine European walnut with their NXT stock design, so you get the warmth and character of a classic safari gun sitting on top of thoroughly modern guts. An aluminum bedding block, pillar bedding, flush cup sling mounts, and a Picatinny forearm rail keep that pretty stock working as hard as it looks.
A Carbon Barrel Under Classic Wood
The 22 inch barrel starts as hand-lapped, button-rifled 416R stainless steel, then gets wrapped in Aerograde carbon fiber. The result is a barrel that stays stiff and sheds heat without dragging down the balance of the rifle. It is free floated, match chambered, and threaded 5/8×24 with a removable stainless radial brake that takes real bite out of magnum recoil. Chambered in 7mm PRC, this rifle sends heavy, high-BC bullets flat and fast, which makes it a serious pick for elk, plains game, and open-country mule deer where shots can stretch out.
Ridgeline Safari Action and Trigger
The precision-machined stainless receiver runs a spiral fluted bolt with an oversized knob and an enlarged ejection port, so cycling stays quick and positive even with gloves on. A crisp TriggerTech trigger breaks clean every time, and the internal magazine with its aluminum hinged floorplate keeps the lines traditional while holding three rounds of 7mm PRC. Since the receiver is cut on the Remington 700 footprint, mounting glass is easy with any standard 700 base.
Why This 7mm PRC Ridgeline Earns Its Spot
Plenty of rifles look good in the safe, and plenty shoot well at the bench. This one does both. Front and rear QD mounts make sling setup simple, the forend rail takes a bipod when you need steady support, and the whole package carries the kind of accuracy Christensen Arms built its name on. It is the rifle for the hunter who wants wood in hand without giving up an inch of performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run a suppressor on the Ridgeline Safari 7mm PRC?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and the radial brake is removable, so swapping to a suppressor is straightforward. Plenty of owners prefer running these rifles suppressed since a brake on a magnum cartridge gets loud in the field.
What kind of scope mounts does the Ridgeline Safari use?
The receiver is machined on the Remington 700 footprint and drilled and tapped for standard Rem 700 optic bases. That means rings and one-piece bases for a 700 long action are everywhere, so finding a mounting setup for your glass is easy.
How many rounds does the Ridgeline Safari hold in 7mm PRC?
It uses an internal magazine with an aluminum hinged floorplate that holds 3 rounds of 7mm PRC. The floorplate design keeps the classic safari rifle profile with no detachable magazine hanging below the stock, and the release sits inside the trigger guard for quick unloading.
Is a walnut stock going to hold up to the recoil of a 7mm PRC?
This one will. Christensen built the stock with an aluminum bedding block, pillar bedding, and a recoil pad specifically so it can handle magnum cartridges shot after shot. The included radial brake also cuts felt recoil down considerably, so the rifle stays comfortable at the bench and in the field.
