338 ELR Barrel is defective on this Christiansen firearm. Christiansen did not honor its warranty. After break in of the barrel, the rifle had an 18 inch group at 200 yards. When I sent the rifle in for their quality control, I received a computer documents shot group, not even the real target. Christiansen stated it shot sub MOA. I am here to tell all future Christiansen purchasers, that is not the case. Christiansen did not honor replacing the barrel or refunding the unit.

Horrible customer service. Took them 6 months to get my 2,500.00 mpr 300 win back to me after repair. Not much info on results & they didn't even replace the screw that had fell out after break in. Probably a very inexpensive screw.... Not at all impressed, will never purchase another christensens arms rifle or reccomend. Junk....

If you are being enticed to by Christensen Arms because of the great rebate don't waste your time. You can use the rebate on anything, its a scam, they are out of stock on most components to complete your rifle. They won't honor the rebate after the expiration date. Super disapointing.

One and Done Customer: Trying to make this easy to follow. I purchased a new Ridgeline .308 from a dealer in Ca. on August 3, 2023. After the required background checks, I took possession of the gun on August 15th which is clearly visible in the paperwork I sent them. 1. The Dealer had NO advance notice that Christensen Arms would be offering a promotion starting on the 14th of Aug. or they would have advised me and I would have waited. At the same time I purchased an HK pistol which did have an expired promotion which HK honored and extended for their customers 2. I immediately sent in my registration for the Christensen Ridgeline and saw the promotion on their website for money back if over $2000 was spent, so I sent in the paperwork 3. WEEKS later (9/19/23)and only AFTER I phoned to inquire, did I get a response of NO you are not eligible. You purchased the gun before the 14th. Yes I purchased the 3rd and took legal possession after the awaited time on the 15th. In my opinion and yes it is MY opinion, if Christensen Arms wants to keep customers they should be willing to look at ALL aspects concerning the purchase of one of their weapons. I’m not quibbling over weeks or months but 1 day. Also, what is most annoying is that I had to pursue the company for a response. Had I not phoned them I would still be waiting…. My final takeaway, while the rifle I bought is decent enough, there are many better for less money and amazing customer service My advice, take into consideration the size of the company and their willingness to keep customers. I had no problem receiving the $200 for the HK handgun I purchased which considerably less money than the $2200 I paid for the rifle. So this was my one and only exchange with Christensen Arms. Let’s hope the weapon performs well and I do not have to reach out for service.

I Purchased, the traverse in caliber, 30 Ott six the rail system on which you mount the optics has vibrated loose three times at first I thought it was the optics so I changed out to a completely different scope only to have the rail system fail a second time I had the rail system fixed at a licensed gun dealership Even used red Loctite to secure the rail system in place went to the range in for a third time the rail system once again vibrated loose. I contacted Christiansen arms for torque specifications for that particular rail. I have tried to get the information sent to a license gun dealership to have the rifle returned back to Christiansen arms, and they refuse to forward that information to the dealership , Christiansen arms has basically told me that this is my problem and it’s my responsibility to fix what should be perfect coming out of the manufacturers warehouse Christiansen arms cannot advertise, selling a long range, precision shooting rifle with the base on which the optics are mounted fails

Junk. Does not shoot MOA or anywhere near. 5 different brands, grains, manufacturers of ammo and nothing. It is a great $2000 paper weight. All about money with next to 0 quality….. trash…..

BUYER BEWARE: I own 2 Ridgeline rifles. My 300RUM is an older model and shoots sub MOA. My wife’s 270 is newer production and cannot even shoot MOA. I reload and still no go. Christensen was purchased by Ancor Capital Partners in 2019. They have nothing to do with the firearms industry. They have ramped up production however w quality has steadfastly gone down hill. Most common issue is accuracy specifically failure to not only meet the sub MOA guarantee but most recent production barrels do not even meet standard MOA. Rifles are sent in for warranty and returned as repaired and test fired with a digitized target stating said rifle met sub MOA requirements. However, several instances have been well documented of said rifles being returned with metal shavings in the action after barrel replacement thus negating an accurate test fire or a test fire at all. The company has been informed of issues in public forums such as Facebook only for anyone stating facts even in a calm and respectful manner to be banned. Customers whom ask for a refund are refused and asked to send their rifle back again. Some instances rifles have been sent in more than 3 times. Most reputable gunsmiths have a pile of Christensen barrels and will testify to the inadequacy in quality. They are absolutely inconsistent and most require a shooter to have extensive reloading experience in order to get it to shoot. In my opinion, any bolt action firearm should at least shoot MOA. A bolt action rifle that starts in the 1500.00 range should absolutely shoot at a minimum MOA with any off the shelf ammo.

Remington 700 Std full length scope rail that I ordered does not fit any one of my 700's, short or long action. Took it to THREE separate gun stores around town and none of their rifle accept it. Their website says, "Fits any standard Remington 700
