Understanding Our Gas-Operated System
The Chimera .223 Rem Rifle features a gas-operated system, which provides distinct advantages over bolt-action rifles. Here’s how our gas-operated system enhances your hunting experience:
• Smooth Recoil Management: The gas-operated system redirects a portion of the propellant gases through a vent near the barrel to operate the action, significantly reducing perceived recoil. This results in less shoulder strain and more comfort during extended shooting sessions, allowing for quicker follow-up shots. Basically, more ferals on the deck!
• Consistent Cycling: Gas-operated systems are known for their ability to cycle a wide range of ammunition types effectively. The rifle will cycle most ammo, but it is important to test which ammo cycles reliable which is generally based on the amount and pressure of the gas generated by the ammunition. PPU may potentially not be her best friend, but tests will show.
• Enhanced Durability and Lower Maintenance: Designed to operate cleaner with less carbon buildup, the Chimera requires fewer cleanings and maintenance, keeping you in the field longer without the worry of malfunctions commonly associated with fouling. The Chimera also features a quick takedown design which will allow for future calibre changes.
• Better Performance in Adverse Conditions: The reliability of gas-operated systems shines in adverse weather conditions. The Chimera’s robust mechanism ensures consistent performance in the diverse and challenging environments of Australia, from wet marshlands to dry, dusty outbacks.
Choosing the Chimera .223 Rem Rifle means equipping yourself with a firearm that offers smooth operation, reliability across different ammunition types, and dependable performance in any condition—ensuring that every shot counts when it matters most.
Ideal For:
• Australian hunters needing a rifle that enables timely follow up shots on multiple ferals.
