Design and bolt system

The Approach’s bolt design emphasizes controlled feeding and longevity. A cone-shaped bolt nose smooths cartridge entry into the chamber, while a spring-loaded sliding plate extractor located in the front of the lower locking lug improves extraction reliability under adverse conditions. The one-piece bolt body is stainless steel and features a rear pad to accept the threaded-in bolt handle for easy maintenance or replacement.

Nitrided components for durability

Critical wear components — the bolt head, non-rotating gas shield, bolt handle, and bolt shroud — are fully Nitrided. That finish increases surface hardness and provides self-lubricating properties that reduce fouling and maintenance intervals, a real advantage for extended field use in the Bolt Action category and across the Various model offerings.

Trigger and safety

The Approach pairs its action with a TriggerTech Frictionless Release Technology trigger and a two-position safety integrated into the trigger assembly. This configuration allows the bolt handle not to lock in the closed position, enabling the rifle to be safely unloaded while the safety is engaged — a practical safety feature for range and field handling that many shooters will value.
