GUNWERKS, based Wyoming, USA, specialises in long-range hunting and precision rifles. The ClymR is Gunwerks’ first bolt-action and it’s a good one — easily one of the most accurate factory rifles that we’ve tested for some time. Gunwerks did all the design work, engineering and manufacturing for the ClymR in-house to avoid being reliant upon outside elements.
The ClymR illustrates just how much performance can be packed into a modern bolt-action rifle.
It is a semi-custom sporting rifle built for mountain hunting and available as a system with multiple options. At 2.72kg (6lb even), it is a definite lightweight. With high-tech carbon-fibres reinforcing both its barrel and stock, this high-country specialist has been designed to outperform most other rifles in its weight class.
Acquiring a handily light rifle is easy. A number of modern sporters fall into that category. It’s the light-light rifle that’s hard to make effective. Evidently, Gunwerks worked out how light a sporter can be and still retain the handiness, balance and surely steady accuracy we need in hunting.
This was accomplished by using weight-reducing carbon-fibre material, not only in the stock but by wrapping it around
