Christensen Arms Bolt Action Rifle SUMMIT TI .308 Winchester 24" Barrel Carbon Fiber Stock
There are many great hunting rifles in life, but few which are truly unprecedented or without equal. The Summit Ti delivers that sentiment. Inspired by our decades of carbon fiber and custom firearms experience, the rifle is a refinement of our passion for composite materials and the advantage they can bring to a bolt-action platform. We’re serious about craftsmanship too: every Summit Ti is built by hand and assembled in our Utah factory.
The extensive process begins with a Christensen Arms Carbon Fiber Barrel, which is machined from a 416R stainless steel bar. The steel is precision drilled, button rifled, and then turned down to an exceptionally slim profile before being wrapped in carbon fiber. Our proprietary carbon fiber is an Aerospace grade composite originally used in aircraft. This process creates a light target contour barrel with a match chamber that performs at or above the standards associated with a traditional barrel, without the weight of additional steel. The barrel is threaded, and shipped with one of our Titanium Radial Brakes.
Once finished, the barrel is installed on a precision titanium action with a fully adjustable match-grade trigger. All Christensen Arms titanium actions are made from a bar of Ti-6AL-4V and machined to include an integral 0 MOA Picatinny split rail. Lighter than steel, titanium complements the carbon fiber elements of the Summit Ti well. The various components are blueprinted with hand-lapped lugs and paired with a bolt.
The firearm is then equipped with one of our Aerograde Carbon Fiber Stocks. These gunstocks are hand laid at our facility by trained composite technicians to ensure an exceptionally high quality stock with the ultimate strength-to-weight ratio. The monocoque stocks are finished with full receiver glass bedding and carbon fiber pillars. For the Summit Ti, stock options include both a sporter style and a thumbhole style. The Thumbhole Stock features a modified beavertail forearm and an enhanced comb, while the Sporter Stock option can help eliminate all unnecessary elements for an ultra-lightweight setup. Finishes range from natural carbon fiber to multiple painted options.
Building a Summit Ti rifle is no small task—but the result is a striking and distinguished firearm. Currently offered in 16 chamberings and weighing between 5.5 and 6 pounds, there are few places it cannot go. Hunters who seek the very best will find there is no substitute. Backed by a .5 MOA guarantee, the Summit Ti exemplifies the finest design, quality, and performance Christensen Arms has to offer.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 308 Winchester (7.62x51 NATO) was introduced by in 1952. Based on the T65 experimental military cartridge, Winchester essentially jumped the gun with the civilian introduction; the 7.62x51 wasn't officially adopted (or named) until 1954. The military's intent was to create a shorter cartridge that would fit into a lighter version of the M1 Garand. This was successful beyond their wildest dreams: The 308 Winchester is essentially a 30-06 case greatly shortened to 2.015-inch, but it lags only about 100 feet per second behind the 30-06 in velocity, and with it shorter, more efficient case it tends to be more accurate. The 308 is suitable for any hunting for which the 30-06 is suitable--which means almost anything in the world short of large, dangerous game. The 308 is a standard chambering among most manufacturers and is found in all action types. Factory loads are legion, including a wide selection of very accurate match loads.
