LEDE Prevail With TRC Action

Franklin Armory will unveil the world's first Total Round Control bolt action at the 2026 SHOT Show in Las Vegas. Franklin Armory engineered the patent-pending Total Round Control (TRC) system as the centerpiece of its Prevail line of long-range precision hunting rifles.

Franklin Armory's TRC action is designed to control each round through the entire feeding-chambering-firing-extraction-ejection cycle, so nothing is left to chance. No longer will bolt action afficionados be afflicted by the Push Feed (PF) versus Controlled Round Feed (CRF) dilemma. For the first time, hunters and long-range precision shooters alike can engage critical targets with the best of both worlds, while avoiding the failures of legacy bolt-action designs.

"We engineered a truly innovative bolt action feeding system that uniquely combines the most effective design features from push feed and controlled round feed actions," said Franklin Armory President Jay Jacobson. "Total Round Control and our inaugural Prevail model configurations offer a new paradigm for hunters and precision shooters who desire the best in function and performance."

Prevail Rifle Line

Centered around the TRC action, Franklin Armory's Prevail offers all of the features expected in a 100-percent American-made high-performance hunting rifle. including:

  • Franklin Armory's fully adjustable, Remington Model 700-compatable Conquest trigger
  • Choice of Franklin Armory's Fidelis carbon-ceramic wrapped precision barrel or fluted magnum sporter profile stainless-steel precision barrel
  • Compatible with Zermatt TL3/SR3 pre-fit barrels
  • User-interchangeable bolt heads with toolless disassembly
  • Model 700-compatible carbon fiber stock with custom V-block bedding
  • Built-in 20 MOA Picatinny scope mount rail
  • Available in .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC and .300 WSM short-action calibers
  • Standalone actions available for high-performance custom builders

Firearm industry media and buyers can experience Franklin Armory's Prevail with Total Round Control first-hand at the SHOT Show Industry Day at the Range on Monday, January 19 (Bay SR-38). Attendees of SHOT Show 2026 can learn more about Prevail with Total Round Control at Franklin Armory's booth (#20349) January 20-23. Franklin Armory will begin accepting orders at SHOT Show. SKUs and pricing will be announced at the show. For more information, visit franklinarmory.com.
