NIGHT FURY MIRAGE
System 1
HUNT
System weight: ±1.6kg
Built for: Veld movement, long days on foot, shared shooters, lighter carry
Light in the veld. Steady in the hands.
Mirage is Night Fury’s lightest modular chassis configuration, built for hunters who move far, carry all day, and shoot from real field positions. It prioritises carry comfort, natural handling, and a responsive front end without locking the shooter into a single fixed setup. This is a hunting system built to move well now and refine later.
Includes: light buttstock, center/inlay, plastic grip, light forend
Magazine: not included
Why Mirage is built this way
Mirage is built for the hunter who values movement first. The lighter rear and front-end combination keeps the chassis easier to carry through the veld, quicker to shoulder, and more natural in unsupported or lightly supported field positions. It is the cleanest starting point for shooters who want a proper modular chassis without beginning with unnecessary mass.
What makes Mirage - System 1 different
System 1 is the point where the Night Fury modular chassis system is at its lightest and most carry-focused. It is designed for hunters who need the rifle to move well in the hands, sit naturally in real terrain, and remain steady without becoming a burden over distance. Where heavier systems begin to favour planted support and added mass, Mirage stays disciplined at the lighter end of the range.
Built for:
-
Hunters who walk far and carry all day
-
Field shooting from standing, kneeling, or improvised support
-
Shared rifles between family members
-
Shooters who want to start light and refine later
Not ideal for:
-
Dedicated bench setups
-
Long-range or competition use that needs maximum mass from the start
-
Shooters who already know they want a more planted, support-driven rifle
Why MIRAGE System 1 is built this way
Light buttstock
Chosen to keep the rear of the system lighter, faster, and easier to carry over distance while still giving the shooter proper shoulder contact and control.
Light forend
Keeps the front end responsive and better suited to field movement, unsupported shots, and real hunting positions where excess length or weight becomes a burden.
Center / Inlay
The structural heart of the chassis. This is the backbone that holds the system together and allows the rest of the platform to change around it without replacing the foundation.
Plastic grip
A simple, effective grip choice that keeps the build practical and weight-conscious while maintaining control where it matters.
Modularity, explained
Mirage is not a final answer. It is a starting point. The same Night Fury backbone can accept different buttstocks, forends, grips and balance options as your shooting needs change. You do not replace the system. You reshape it. That is what gives the platform its long-term value.
Who Mirage suits
Mirage suits the shooter who still wants the discipline of a proper modular chassis system, but does not want to begin with a heavier precision-oriented build. It is especially well suited to hunting use, shared ownership across family members, and shooters who want a platform that can evolve without becoming a burden on the first walk out.
