The M1500 Oryx is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .308 Win, built around a fixed aluminum chassis with an adjustable comb. The chassis design gives it a more rigid platform than a traditional stock, which shows up in consistent accuracy numbers. At 10.80 lbs, this is a heavy rifle, intended for supported shooting at a range or from a hide rather than extended carry.

Detailed Features
The HACT two-stage trigger has a defined take-up stage followed by a clean break at the wall. It gives shooters a consistent reference point before the shot breaks, which helps in precision applications.
The heavy barrel at 20 inches reduces muzzle velocity somewhat compared to longer barrels but improves heat dissipation during strings of fire and cuts down on barrel flex. The 1:10" twist is well matched to standard .308 Win loads.
The aluminum chassis accepts a wide range of aftermarket accessories. Bipods, different grip options, and various scope mounts all work with the standard rail system. The adjustable comb lets you get a consistent cheek weld with different optics heights.
Usage
The .308 Win chambering covers most precision rifle applications: target shooting, tactical training, and hunting medium to large game. The 10+1 capacity and chassis rigidity make it well suited for competitive precision rifle shooting where you're firing from supported positions.
