Fossari CRX9 Sporting BSS
The CRX9 Sporting BSS over-and-under shotgun by Fossari elevates the standard set by the SPORTING model by incorporating enhanced features tailored to the discerning shooter.
Building upon the foundation of excellence, this shotgun introduces a more adaptable aiming system with a semiflat top rib, catering to precise targeting. Additionally, it embraces a Montecarlo type stock, enriched with the XR-STOCK® Adjustable stock, facilitating comb adjustment for heightened shooting comfort and accuracy.
Crafted from select superior-quality walnut, the stock boasts a luxurious oil finish applied manually through a meticulous three-stage process. True to Fossari’s commitment to craftsmanship, the oil-resistant rubber recoil pad is meticulously hand-sanded on each individual stock. It also incorporates a key-accessible hole for streamlined stock removal from the receiver.
Ergonomics remain a focal point, with all wood components meticulously designed to enhance usability, depending on the shooting discipline. Versatility is paramount, with the XR-STOCK® option available, complete with an adjustable nose piece. This feature, along with various other configurations, underscores Fossari’s commitment to meeting the needs of both right and left-handed shooters.
The CRX9 Sporting BSS shotgun boasts a monolithic action frame, precision-crafted from a single piece of steel through a 5-axis CNC process. This design incorporates oversized locking bolts, strategically placed on the centre line of the barrel, ensuring unwavering lockup over time. Vital components are fashioned from forged blocks, reinforcing the shotgun’s durability and reliability.
Adding value to Fossari’s models, interchangeable hinge pins enhance serviceability over time, a hallmark of the brand’s production. Components such as action bodies, trigger plates, fore-end iron, and extractors are meticulously milled from forged ingots, adhering to the brand’s uncompromising quality standards.
The shotgun’s barrels, constructed from special tri-alloy steel, adhere to the classic bar drilling method, offering a blend of concentricity and strength, and the full chroming ensures durability and corrosion resistance. Long X-CONES® forcing cones grace the chambers, complementing the internal barrel drilling achieved through the innovative XBORES geometry. This enhances recoil management while ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and consistent shot patterns.
Maintenance remains straightforward with easily removable trigger mechanisms. A tool-free operation, facilitated by a release button positioned in the upper part of the trigger unit, streamlines maintenance, offering both technical advantages and improved upkeep.
The shotgun incorporates an interchangeable insert in the breech, crafted from hardened and chromed steel, ensuring maximum durability against wear and corrosion induced by ammunition gases.
Completing the package, the iron fore-end features numbered interchangeable inserts constructed from special steel. These inserts interchange at the support point between the barrel tenon and the iron fore-end, enabling straightforward management of excess tolerances that may accumulate from extended shotgun use.
In terms of choke options, Fossari provides exceptional flexibility, offering TECHNICHOKE® HPS90 interchangeable chokes with a substantial length of 90mm (internal 70mm). Characterised by a gentle connection angle, these chokes ensure superior ballistic performance. The CRX9 Sporting comes equipped with five chokes, accompanied by a removal key, further emphasising its adaptability to different shooting scenarios.
