6 chapuis-armes.com 2 1 2 4 5 6 3 Technical updates 1 / New direct-striker system. The new striker-trigger assembly works by utilizing gravity, thereby maximizing the action’s efficiency and giving exceptional trigger response. 2 / New cocking/decocking control. Incorporating advanced ergonomics to fit the last phalanx of the thumb, this upgraded control is easier to manipulate - especially upon pushing forward (i.e., manual cocking). This is now achieved fluidly and without effort, albeit still deliberately. 3 / New microcell recoil-soaking buttpad. Length of pull is adjustable by means of 5mm (.2”) spacers. Also, buttpad is adjustable vertically to better accommodate the user’s body and shooting style. 4 / Cocking lever. To facilitate opening and handling the action, we have modified the inner workings of the cocking lever. This, paired with the new gravity-driven trigger-release mechanism, makes opening and closing the action exceptionally smooth and eliminates any points of felt resistance. 5 / New adjustable ST trigger. Depending on your hunting style and situation, you can use a control located above the trigger to switch between a 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs) trigger pull - ideal for driven game - and a 600 gram (1.2 lbs) trigger pull - ideal for longer-range precision shooting. A safety device is always locking the control. 6 / New magazine polymers Manufactured using 3-D printing. ROLS magazines feature an improved blend of hi-tech polymers that further facilitate charging and feeding. 4-round capacity for standard calibers and 3-round capacity for magnums.
7 Ergonomic improvements New receiver design Featuring crisper lines and an anti-glare treatment, the newly-designed receiver gives the rifle an updated look. New stock design A tapered, more slender forend features a rounded tip, thereby facilitating gripping with the supporting hand, as well as yielding an even more elegant look. This new forend shape makes the ROLS even more suited to more intuitive shots (e.g., for driven game) as well as deliberate aiming-offhand or using a rest. You will achieve your ideal shot no matter the hunting conditions.
