Models
The only current model is the Lynx 94 which was patented and introduced in 1994, and has been quoted as one of the "smoothest and most reliable straight-pull rifle[s] available".[3] The rifle has been marketed outside Finland since 2007, and in 2014 67% of all production was exported. The Lynx 94 is available in either a short (.223 length), medium (.308 length) or long (.30-06 length) action to suit different cartridges ranging from .222 Rem to .375 Ruger. The receiver and barrel can be delivered in either a blued or stainless finish.
Model designations depend mainly on stock and barrel configuration as follows:
- TD15
- Takedown stock (synthetic or walnut) to make travelling easier.[4] The stock of this particular model is split into different parts, with a milled aluminium block in the middle connecting the buttstock, handguard and barreled action.
- Light Hunter
- Lightweight barrel configuration and walnut stock.
- Target
- Heavy barrel and a laminated thumbhole stock for increased precision and weather stability. The stock also has an adjustable cheekpiece for height and cant, and two UIT rails for attaching a bipod and a sling.
- English
- Lightweight barrel configuration with a made-to-order English style walnut stock.
- Presence 15
- Chassis stock equipped with a handguard with picatinny rails, AR 15 style buttstock and grip, and AICS style magazines.
The 94 action itself has a tubular design with a sliding crossbar.[1] To provide a shorter bolt travel, the two locking lugs are located at the rear of the action,[5] and are directly opposed on the left and right side.[3] For mounting of a scope sight, the action features an integral 17 mm wide dovetail rail.[3][1] Trigger pull weight can be adjusted between 500 and 1200 grams. The barrel is attached to the receiver using traditional action threads.
