The marksman's variant of the Prykanbul Short Rifle line has a number of changes, as follows:
>Detachable 5-round magazines that fit flush with the bottom of the stock's forearm, to reduce chance of snagging and retain the ability to quickly reload with an optical sight mounted.
>Adjustment points for length of pull and height of comb(forming a cheek rest), for having the rifle "just so" for the shooter.
>Factory assistance in providing mountings for purchaser's choice of optics over the centerline of the rifle.
>Adjustable monopod mounted in the stock and folding, adjustable height bipod legs(mounted to the trunnion)
>Actions and barrels chosen specially for peek preeminence with the greatest precision possible.
Clearly these comprehensive improvements for the serious marksman(or dare we say, sniper) come at a cost. It is expected that the thus improved rifle should cost about 25 per batch.
Have I mentioned here yet how I hate that we are changing model numbers for revision years? It makes it a real pain to go "right, this is based off of that, but doesent replace it" easily. You cant just glance at it, you have to think about it.
Roll: 5
Difficulty: -1By the far the most technical change is the magazine. Going from an internal to external mag is significant. That would be a normal revision, or so would the other furniture features all together. Your company's history of metallurgy eases the task of producing (or singling out) superior actions and barrels. Besides the barrel, testing shows that good-quality stocks are a major factor in making these rifles particularly accurate, so greater precision is focused in this area as well. In all, it's a lot of changes, so you're a bit overworked.
Prykanbul SR/M-6-12: This is a modified version of the Prykanbul Short Rifle. The biggest mechanical change is that it uses 5-round detachable box magazines, which come about flush with the wooden furniture and have a heel release (and a related furniture indent). This is intended to be a marksman rifle, so the benefit of this is that an optic can sit above the receiver. The gun does not ship with an optic, but it has a smooth flat plane for mounting one (it also includes SR-6-11 style iron sights). The other visible changes are mostly to the furniture: part of the shoulder stock folds down to form a monopod, and a bipod mounted on the furniture under the barrel. The bipod is made of steel tubing and has an adjustable height, tightening in place with wingnuts on each leg. The butt plate is also mounted on screws so that its length can be adjusted, and there is a similarly adjustable cheek piece on the stock. The complex stock features are largely finished by hand because there wasn't a lot of time to design tooling, driving up the cost. 30 credits.
