Receivers

The Jarrett Tri-Lock receiver is the result of our self-imposed pursuit of the highest accuracy and dependability standards. Creating it in-house was the only way we could truly control the quality and firing results of every rifle we made. The receiver had to be better than anything available and more user friendly. With the help of Mike Irwin, a very talented young man, we spent a year and a half perfecting our action until it was flawlessly dependable.

The Tri-Lock, including the receiver body, is made of the toughest space age steel, 15-5 stainless. The action has no stamping, broaching, or welding anywhere, thus its machining by state-of-the-art CNC and EDM equipment leaves the Tri-Lock stress and distortion free.

Jarrett’s innovative Tri-Lock has three lugs instead of two, creating 50% more sectional area. The cartridges are unilaterally supported at three points rather than two. For true in-line precise feeding, the bolt lugs interlock with the rails. The Tri-Lock’s interchangeable feed rails (the only ones in the industry) interface with the in-line feeding system. A bolt bushing adds to the Tri-Lock’s concentric alignment and seals the action during firing. These features translate into super quick lock time, minimizing aim drift during firing. The bolt throw is a lightning fast 60 degrees! For those with big hands, this creates greater clearance between bolt and scope, a definite asset.

For other hunting needs, you’ll also find a semi-integral recoil lug for switch barrel capabilities. Currently, the Tri-Lock is either a long action standard bolt face or a magnum. The terrific new Jarrett short action is available in all standard bolt face cartridges from .308 to .17 Remington. Other models of the Tri-Lock are in development: a left hand receiver, and a Rigby bolt face receiver. With the many innovations and features of the Tri-Lock, the quality cannot only be seen, but felt. Certainly one would be perfect for you!

Rest assured that the Tri-Lock is truly a “better mousetrap.” With its increased accuracy and utter dependability, Tri-Lock’s innovative design is a further example of the painstaking engineering that has garnered accolades from the industry and given Jarrett Rifles a stellar reputation among serious hunters, gun writers, and fellow gun makers.
