American Tactical just announced the new TRX Bronco bolt-action rifle. The Bronco is part of American Tactical’s Black Creek line and is built to be a compact, lightweight rifle for the ranch, range, or backcountry hunting.
The TRX Bronco
The TRX Bronco uses the Black Creek TRX Short action, which can drop into any Tikka T3 chassis. It’s offered in both .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor and is guaranteed to shoot 1 MOA with commercial ammunition. Currently, two barrel lengths are listed, 16.5 and 18.5 inches. Although it doesn’t expressly say, from looking at the pics and video, it appears to have a factory-threaded barrel.
American Tactical is also teasing a short 9-inch barreled version if you watch the video on the product page. It feeds from double-stacked AR10/SR25 magazines, which are readily available and give plenty of capacity. The TRX action is fitted with a TriggerTech REM700 field trigger.
The TRX Bronco Hunter uses the two-piece, adaptable chassis system. It comes with a 10-inch forend, but you can swap that out for other lengths as well. The chassis is made of aircraft-grade aluminum and is fitted with a folding stock. The stock captures the bolt handle when folded. This, along with a patent-pending safety wedge, locks the rifle in the “safe” position. As a result, the rifle is unable to fire when the stock is folded. This lets you store it fully loaded in your pack or vehicle and know that it cannot fire but is still ready to go when you fold open the stock.
If you’ve been looking for a compact, lightweight rifle that still packs enough punch for most any North American big game, then check out the TRX Bronco Hunter.
