Almost weekly some rifle chassis manufacturer or traditional firearm manufacturer announces a new rifle chassis system or a complete rifle built upon a chassis. Today we are on the precipice of great changes to the bolt action rifle. Obviously the previous is over simplified. Take the safety off, pull the trigger and “bang”. The action is cycled by by lifting up the bolt, sliding it fully rearwards then returning it forwards and down to it’s locked position. The action is fed by either an internal magazine or external box type magazine.
A scope is attached directly to the receiver or action. The barreled action is placed in a hunk of wood called the rifle stock. There’s a receiver with a barrel threaded in to it. Sure there have been improvements and refinements but for the most part the basic rifle remains unchanged. The bolt action rifle has remained fundamentally unchanged for over 150 years.
