Christensen Arms Ridgeline

[Steve O]

Ok, hopefully I am not annoying you with all the questions but I've never had a brake on a rifle. You plug the top holes to tune? Or vary the amount of porting? Or ???

Not at all Steve, that's the reason we created this site.

I don't know this as fact but I do believe the top ports are for tuning and to plug if you are shooting PRS it tight spots. but that's only a guess on my part.

If it was me I would go 300 Whinny

I bought a new Ridgeline off a Rok Slide member here a couple months ago. 300 winny. I have not picked out a scope yet, plus I need to get my dies from my uncle to test some loads.

Justin talks about break in shooting with them. I have always been taught shoot once then clean until no powder on patches. Do this for ten shots, how does everyone else break theirs in?

Plus what type of rings for a 20 rail?

 

[Josh Wright]

Just broke in my barrel. Clean after each shot for first 10. I then cleaned every 5 shots over the next 40. I did this over 3 evenings. Final grouping after break in was .611. 26 Nosler, 129 gr Nosler Trophy Grade ABLR.

Ryan have you tried it with ports plugged? How does it affect performance?

My hates RS a little more each day. Now you guys got me wanting a new rifle.

No, never tried it. Probably never will

That's funny, I was talking to a well known builder here in the KC area recently and he felt the same way.

Just under $2k

Justin,

How do you like the stock on the ridgeline, do you find it it give you adequate head position? It seems a raised comb might be better but I have never shot one and was curious about that. Thanks.

 

[pyroducksx3]

Most any riflestock will benefit from a stock pack to give better eye alignment to scope.

The stock is nice, but just like Pyroducksx3 said, it is better with some type of pad, adjustable cheek piece, or stock pack to help with eye alignment.

had charles murphy from murphy precision make me a custom scope base ti... from measurements i took and was stoaked... he nailed it perfect for my ocd arss..... figured i would show another option as to the talley option. base in titanium weighed 3 oz.

 

[Justin Crossley]

That looks really good.

 

[greyghostnw]

That looks really good.

thanks... he does great work.... i prefer the cleaner look. was nervous about sending a photo with a deatailed schematic of what i wanted but he delivered again. makes a great product if your into it. murphy is one i will have make all my scope bases from consistant expectations met.

What are you using to get proper sight alignment?

 

[greyghostnw]

What are you using to get proper sight alignment?

wheeler products for level. i measured for the scope base using two different calipers. digital from my starrett 798 witch matches my lyman dial.

 

[Ryan Avery]

HAHA, I should of been more clear. The scope has to be really high. Are you using anything to raise the comb height for a consistent cheek weld?
