black-rifle

In the world of precision firearms, customization is the key that unlocks unparalleled performance and personal expression. SHAW ARMAMENT SYSTEMS, LLC, based in Powder Springs, Georgia, exemplifies this ethos with two exceptional custom rifles. Built with meticulous attention to detail and utilizing top-tier components, these rifles are not just tools—they are masterpieces that push the boundaries of engineering and design.

Unveiling the First Masterpiece: The Furiosa Build

The Heart of Precision: Curtis Custom Receiver and Krieger Barrel

At the core of this rifle lies the Curtis Custom Receiver, a renowned Remington 700 clone celebrated for its exceptional accuracy and reliability. Mated seamlessly to this action is a Krieger barrel blank, a name synonymous with match-grade quality and precision. SHAW ARMAMENT's skilled craftsmen turn down and fit the barrel in-house, ensuring a perfect marriage between the receiver and barrel.

The barrel itself is cut to a compact 14 inches. However, the innovation doesn't stop there. A suppressor tube is welded directly to the barrel, extending the overall length to 22 inches. This integrally suppressed design not only enhances the rifle's aesthetics but also improves balance and reduces muzzle blast. The suppressor's baffles are removable, allowing for easy maintenance, while the tube remains a steadfast part of the barrel assembly.

The Chassis: WOOX Furiosa Micarta

Encasing this precision machinery is the WOOX Furiosa Micarta chassis. Crafted with a fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern materials, the Micarta version offers enhanced durability and a tactile grip surface. Its ergonomic design provides an adjustable cheek rest and length of pull, allowing shooters to customize the fit to their exact preferences. The Furiosa chassis is not just a housing—it's an extension of the shooter's intent.

Trigger and Optics: The Pinnacle of Control

A rifle of this caliber demands the best in trigger technology. The Timney HIT trigger delivers a crisp, adjustable pull weight, vital for achieving the utmost accuracy. On top sits the Nightforce NX8 optic, mounted securely with Nightforce scope base and rings. The NX8 is revered for its compact size, robust construction, and superior optical clarity, featuring an 8x zoom range and illuminated reticle. Completing the build is an Atlas bipod, providing a stable shooting platform adaptable to any terrain.

Chambered in .308 Winchester: Versatility Meets Precision

This custom rifle is chambered in .308 Winchester, a cartridge celebrated for its versatility and performance. Whether for competitive shooting or hunting, the .308 Win offers a balance of power, accuracy, and manageable recoil, making it a favorite among marksmen worldwide.

The Second Marvel: The Exactus Build

Building on Excellence: Curtis Custom Receiver and Krieger Barrel

Echoing the precision of its sibling, the second rifle features the Curtis Custom Receiver paired with a meticulously fitted Krieger barrel blank. The barrel is cut slightly longer at 16 inches, and with the welded suppressor tube, the overall barrel length extends to 24 inches. This design maintains the benefits of an integrally suppressed system, with removable baffles for ease of cleaning while keeping the suppressor tube permanently affixed.

The Chassis: WOOX Exactus

This rifle is anchored in the WOOX Exactus chassis, a platform engineered for professional and competitive shooters. The Exactus combines an aircraft-grade aluminum skeleton with high-quality wooden features, delivering rigidity and a distinctive aesthetic. Its fully adjustable stock ensures optimal ergonomics, allowing for precise control and comfort during extended shooting sessions.

Precision Components: Trigger and Optics

The inclusion of the Timney HIT trigger provides a smooth, consistent trigger pull, essential for achieving tight shot groups at any range. Topping the rifle is the Nightforce SHV optic, known for delivering superior performance with exceptional clarity and reliability. The SHV series offers a versatile zoom range and a variety of reticle options to suit different shooting applications. An Atlas bipod supports the rifle, offering stability and adaptability across diverse shooting positions.

Chambered in .300 WSM: Power and Reach

Chambered in .300 Winchester Short Magnum (WSM), this rifle is designed for those who demand long-range capabilities with substantial stopping power. The .300 WSM cartridge is prized for its high velocity and flat trajectory, making it an excellent choice for long-distance targets and big-game hunting.

Bringing It All Together: Craftsmanship Meets Innovation

SHAW ARMAMENT SYSTEMS, LLC has masterfully combined cutting-edge components with artisanal craftsmanship to create these two custom rifles. The synergy of Curtis Custom Receivers, Krieger barrels, and WOOX chassis results in firearms that are both aesthetically striking and performance-driven.

The integrally suppressed barrels not only enhance the rifles' visual appeal but also contribute to improved balance and reduced recoil. With the addition of Timney HIT triggers and Nightforce optics, each rifle offers a seamless shooting experience, empowering shooters to perform at their highest level.
