The same black nitride process is used by several automobile manufacturers to harden the moving parts in their engines, rings, pistons, etc. In fact, when used for rifle barrels, it is more corrosion resistant than chrome lining. For those not familiar with the black nitride treatment (the technical description of the process is salt bath ferriticnitrocarburizing), it is used in many industries to significantly harden the outer layers of steel parts to make them more durable and more corrosion resistant. The Accura V2 LR is equipped with a black nitride treated Bergara barrel. Ok, it sounds strange, but after you shoot a rifle with a thumbhole stock, you will understand. That perception is undoubtedly due to the fact the straight-line alignment of the hand and forearm allows for a more natural movement of the upper body in response to the recoil.
(Photo Above - Note that the thumbhole stock of the Accura V2 LR is the same on both the left and right side - making this rifle truly ambidextrous.)Īlthough it cannot be verified scientifically, most folks shooting a thumbhole rifle state that the "felt recoil" seems to be less. The thumbhole grip on this Accura model allows you to hold your gun tighter against your shoulder, thereby reducing "felt recoil" as well as flinch.
The thumbhole stock of the Accura V2 LR rifle incorporates a pistol grip design similar to that of AR platform rifles. While a thumbhole stock may not be as aesthetically "beautiful" as a conventional stock, it is more comfortable to shoot and generally results in more accurate groups. The pistol grip allows for a more positive hold and makes it easier to get on target. That problem was remedied with the design of the AR platform rifles, with their pistol grip behind the trigger guard.
