Well y’all, I bought a Ridgeline despite what I had read on hear and different forums. I bought the gun in the spring and have just now started shooting it because I was saving up some money to buy a Nightforce. Whenever I got it home, back in the spring, I was dry firing it and the trigger would fire every so often when I bolted it. I adjusted the trigger to a little heavier pull and it stopped. Trigger was a little over 4 lbs which is to heavy in my opinion. Well fast forward to this month. I get my Nightforce mounted and go to the range and start breaking in the rifle according to the video CA recommends. I have zero problems during the break in. That was last week. I get it back home and dry fire it and the trigger starts firing when I bolt it again. Well I go back to the range to sight it in with the ammo I was using for hunting, but was going to have my buddy who is a gunsmith check out my trigger first. He owns the range I shoot at. He got it and tried his best to make it fire by slamming the bolt but it never did. So I went on out to the range and started shooting. On the sixth round as I’m closing the bolt the trigger drops on a live round, but nothing happened. I waited a little bit and then went to get him to check it out. When I took the round out of the chamber it had the faintest little primer strike. He came to the conclusion that the trigger is dropping before the bolt is completely closed. So today I contacted CA and let them know what was going on. The have a place that you can upload picture and video of the problem. So I was going to post a video of the issue because now the trigger is dropping about 85% of the time when you bolt it. In the process of doing that I go to open my bolt back up and it sticks. I mean the bolt is freaking stuck. You could probably knock it open but I ain’t about to do that until CA gets a look at it. I sent them a video of that today. So we’ll see what happens. I’m not going to say the gun is trash but I will say I wish I wouldn’t have bought it now.
