Fossari CRX9 Sporting
The CRX9 Sporting over-and-under shotgun by Fossari epitomises the marriage of cutting-edge technology with scientific precision.
The barrels feature XBORES and extended X-CONES® forcing cones. These barrels are further equipped with TECHNICHOKE® HPS90 interchangeable chokes, delivering exceptional versatility to the shooter. The firing system comprises a single selective trigger, thoughtfully positioned above the action’s tang to enhance ergonomic usability.
To enhance shooting comfort and accuracy, the shotgun incorporates an oil-resistant rubber recoil pad. Each stock is painstakingly hand-sanded, with a provision for easy stock removal via a key-accessible hole, facilitating potential repairs or shooter-specific modifications. Crafted from select walnut, the wood receives a luxury oil finish, meticulously applied through a three-stage process.
The CRX9 Sporting features a monolithic action frame, a marvel crafted from a single piece of steel through a 5-axis CNC process. It incorporates oversized locking bolts strategically positioned on the barrel’s centre line, ensuring steadfast lockup throughout its service life. Vital components of the shotgun are ingeniously forged from solid blocks, further underscoring durability and reliability.
Enhancing serviceability over time, Fossari models integrate interchangeable hinge pins. The action bodies, trigger plates, fore-end iron, and extractors are all precision-milled from forged ingots.
The shotgun’s barrels, forged from special tri-alloy steel, adhere to the classic bar drilling method, guaranteeing concentricity and robustness. The chambers boast lengthy X-CONES® forcing cones, complementing the internal barrel drilling achieved through the innovative XBORES geometry, effectively improving recoil management. Internally, the barrels feature full chroming, enhancing durability, corrosion resistance, and shot pattern consistency.
Maintenance is simplified through the shotgun’s easily removable trigger mechanisms. With a tool-free operation, a release button located in the upper part of the trigger unit streamlines this process, offering technical advantages while facilitating routine maintenance.
A testament to Fossari’s meticulous craftsmanship, all versions of their shotguns feature interchangeable inserts in the breech, crafted from hardened and chromed steel. This design safeguards the weapon against wear and corrosion stemming from ammunition gases.
Completing the package, the iron fore-end is furnished with numbered interchangeable inserts constructed from special steel. These inserts can be interchanged at the support point between the barrel tenon and the iron fore-end, effortlessly mitigating any 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.
