Horizon the first carbine of the Francs

The new rifle bolt action Franchi Horizon that is exposed to the IWA 2017 Nuremberg

The new rifle bolt action Franchi Horizon on display at the IWA 2017 Nuremberg. Chf is the only brand of Beretta Group in order to offer the entire range of rifles for hunting, also confirms the great attention to the hunters more young people reaching us today in 41 Countries around the world.

Francs Horizon – which is Not to say: the commitment made by Dr. Bruno Beccaria, when he was placed in his hand a signature of much noble lineage, because of the marked evanescence was one of those where every solution was possible, but unlikely that a success. Tend to distort a little around the statements that to many it would have seemed like the most obvious one to beat, and get back in the spotlight with beautiful things and appreciated in the Home, via the Serpent, that is, the doublets Diana and monte carlo, the head is tabula rasa, and look elsewhere. The young people will be his prey of choice, and them captivate you with barbarous things at first sight, unworthy in the eyes of many to carry that brand, which of course is in the meantime changed, the repositories of solutions and construction methods of low cost and reliability of the broad-spectrum. We were going to be of those ready to chase after the coveted monte-carlo and we would have lost the game, but we wanted to know from the first meeting of this think of the character that was a little bit of abstraction from the specific culture arms, sbrigliando the imagination as a poet and mastered the art of divinatory as a chief of the druids or a shaman of the Great North.

The legacy family and the school have been, and this, together with the personal skills, have made all the difference. Today, consolidated the position on the market segments that you just mentioned, there is a spear in the ground, where the greater the fight , and where, fortunately, there is space to compete: the rifled barrel in the form of a rifle, repetition is the weapon of the immediate and even of the future because the young hunters prefer the ungulates, and these will be the next tools of the trade.

The project

The project follows the parameters informants: the rifle is definitely geared to the young, therefore, should cost very little, but worth a lot in terms of ballistic performance, functionality, robustness. The castle round-section steel alloy presents the prism of discharge of the forces obtained directly from the ring, sturdy walls, a large window of expulsion, the seat of the loader fixed bridge and two diameters on the two elements of the apical holes are made for mounting of optics with specific Remington, and with a wide choice, at reasonable prices, the accessories required. The shutter is composed of the central body cylindrical from which are derived under the three lugs on the front also at a rounded profile: very sunken in the seat of the bottom cartridge with the hole of the striker and the pawl of the ejector while the nail of the extractor is recessed in one of the fins and works with the motion orthogonal to it. In a burglary the framework of the rear part of the cylinder is wedged in the handlebars with arm-in-arm round, and the knuckle tapered, drill lightening (and the collection of dirt) the guarantor of an excellent maneuverability and appreciable aesthetic. The cap on the tail stands for the prism-shaped, personal, pleasant, and well-connected to the profile of the bridge where it is evident the angle that determines, with the handlebar, the extraction, primary; clear the tang of the firing pin protruding which notice of the mechanical army. From the latter, we the lever on the left side to release the shutter to end of stroke: some small hitch in the model, pre-series will of course be fixed in the next examples, of the regular production.

The bridge with the holes for the bases of the optics, the handlebar received in the cylinder, the shutter, the cap of the tail, with the ledge that signals the mechanical army, secure in the location of the fire

Shutter, secure, and charger

Shooting direct good functionality for such a system sees the trigger, an arched back, reached also by those who have hands the court: it will be available with a slight surcharge for a stecher family to the French. In tine front of the guard is the lever to release the lid of the fixed magazine of cartridges that can be withdrawn without having to camerare and then pull; the capacity varies from 3 to 4 according to the gauges. The safety catch from the classic key in two positions pivoted on the right side of the castle allows you to open the shutter even when it is inserted, thus ensuring peace of mind when you extract a cartridge from the chamber.

In the head of the shutter you can see the shaping in the round of the perimeter of the fins that allows for a more expeditious, and less expensive, the realization on machines.

The barrel and butt

The barrel rotomartellata presents the principles and steps in relation to the five gauges proposed and precisely .243 Win. – .270 Win. – .308 Win. – .30-06 Sprg. – .300 Win. Mag. with a length of 56 cm, extended to 61 for the magnum, and a diameter in the sprint of 15.5 mm: also here you can proceed with the choices in vogue where the speed reduction is accepted, giving priority to the reduction of the weight and the handling. The processing is presented to the appropriate level and finish to the muzzle with light invaded the conical ensures security and optimizes the function ballistic. The junction to the ring with the step the screw is warranty while the assembly is floating and ensures the repeatability of the point beaten. Are not present the ambitions of the metal to facilitate mounting the bottom of the optic.

“HORIZON

Towards a new horizon. This is the adventure of Francs..”

The butt in techno-polymer reinforced with glass fiber shows classic lines with attention to detail: the four fields from the particular sharkskin high-grip are distributed on the stem, on the stem, on the pistol grip and near the beak: we are not trying to exemplify how to be functional in any posture of the shot because every fan will know immediately when observing the images. Three measures for the recoil replaceable TSA (Twin Shock Absorber) so as to adapt the weapon to its appearance, physical, two fixed pegs on which to attach the t-shirts portacinghia, 2.990 grams weight, seven years of warranty, 845,00 € the price and 930,00 € with the stecher family, its manufacture in Urbino. We hope to make soon a test to refine and implement these first positive sensations.

The coccia of the pistol grip shows the company logo with the big F orange: an immediate recognition with the rifle in the rack

The calcium from the classic lines sees the hake top, the butt plate TSA, the gripping surface of the pistol grip with the surface for pleasant grip in the hand

The secure on the sticker for the white indicates the input and in such a situation, the shutter can be easily opened to extract any cartridge chambered

The face of the shutter is considerably lowered, supporting well the back cartridge: at the side of the hole of the firing pin protrudes out the bolt of the ejector

The knuckle of the handlebar has a nice appearance and good functionality, the bore of the easing is unfortunately easy to the receptacle of the filth

In the head of the shutter you can see the shaping in the round of the perimeter of the fins that allows for a more expeditious, and less expensive, implementation on machines

The guard stands out the trigger well curved, and in tine the front is the button to open the cover and pivoting of the stock of fixed cartridges

The cover pivoting of the fixed magazine and the two allen screws of the junction between the mechanical and the butt

Consistent with the design of the bridge, the profile of the cap of the tail shutter: for the extraction at the end of the stroke, we find on the side of the castle the lever to release the rocker

The threaded holes on the ring and bridge respond to the specific Remington recruitment base for the optics, even at the cost content
