But I wanted to create a one-of-a-kind rifle that could handle a number of tasks well, including hunting, tactical deployments and long-range matches.

With the AX chassis buttstock, shooters can adjust the length of pull, the cheekpiece and even the buttpad’s position. A hook on the bottom serves as a support-hand anchor point.

Shooters can adjust the length of pull, cheek height, buttpad and pistol grip, making it a perfect choice for prone shooting—the most common setup for police countersnipers. The buttstock also folds to the right side, making it easier to transport rifles with longer barrels and sound suppressors. Up front, the forward handguard offers Picatinny rails and KeyMod slots for accessories. All told, this chassis has excellent ergonomics without being too heavy.
