Abstract (en)

A firearm, especially a target rifle, is built on a stiff chassis beam (11) which carries the butt (14), the action (12) which includes a receiver (23) into which the barrel (24) is fitted, and an adjustable pistol grip (16), and which extends to the fore-end (21) where the beam has a channel section into which the barrel is recessed. The chassis is formed from an extruded light alloy beam of H section whose lower flanges (43) are removed at the fore-end, whose upper flanges (43) are partially removed at the butt, and whose central web (41) is apertured (47) below the action to allow the trigger mechanism to be removed without disturbing the bedding of the receiver on to the beam. A composite cheekpiece (32) is hinged to allow the bolt (26) to be worked between slots.
