During the Huntex 2018 exhibition, a South African company called Gun Warrior introduced the latest, Gen5 iteration of their Warrior aluminum bolt action rifle chassis. Although this chassis will be quite a capable platform for multiple applications (tactical, hunting etc.), it is primarily designed for the Precision Rifle Series (PRS) competition shooting.
One of the features added to the Gen5 chassis is the extended magazine well which has a serrated front surface designed to work as a barricade stop providing a reliable purchase on a number of different barricades. The customers can also order a separate barricade stop mounted onto the forearm as shown in the image embedded below.
Other features of the chassis include the QD sling swivel mounts on the front portion of the forearm, the Arca-Swiss accessory mounting platform on the bottom of the handguard and a Picatinny rail section extending over the forearm for mounting a bipod.
The length of pull, cheek rest height, buttpad and monopod heights are adjustable. Below you can find the specifications of various adjustment ranges quoted from the manufacturer’s website.
Specifications:
Total Length: 748mm – 828mm
Weight: 2,3kg (including empty magazine)
