The world of bolt guns is built around precision. Everything in a rifle is designed to give the shooter the ability to make precise shots. The heart of this formula is the action. Over the decades, there has been very little variation from the standard design beyond small tweaks. Today, however, Franklin Armory has made a major leap forward. Their new offering is the Prevail line, and it takes the action to a new level.
Prevail Rifle Line – Changing the Bolt Action World
At the 2026 SHOT show in Las Vegas this January, Franklin Armory will unveil the world’s first Total Round Control bolt action. Franklin Armory engineered the patent-pending Total Round Control (TRC) system to usher in a new era of bolt-action performance 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 aficionados 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.
Innovative Feeding System
“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.”
