The History of Verney Carron

Gunsmith Claude Verney (1800–1870), who came from a line of distinguished gunsmiths dating back to 1650, began the business in 1820. At 20, he earned first place in an armory competition sponsored by the City of Saint–Etienne. Later, in 1830, he married Antoinette Carron, a descendant of another family of gunsmiths, and renamed his company Verney-Carron. When Claude Verney passed away in 1870, his eldest son Jean took over the company with his brothers. That is why the company was formerly known as Verney-Carron Frères before being changed back to its original name in 1917 following Jean's passing.

Six manufacturers were brought together as the company was rebuilt following World War II to form the Groupement d'Exploitation des Fabricants d'Armes Réunis (GEFAR). Over 150,000 rifles were produced, most of them going by the brand name Pionnier. The company entered the era of modern industrial production in 1954 when it agreed to license the production of the product to a little-known Italian manufacturer who had just finished developing an extremely light semi-automatic hunting shotgun.

In 1963, Verney-Carron acquired SIFARM, which included renowned barrel maker Jean Breuil and the venerable manufacturers Berthon Frères, Francisque Darne, Didier-Drevet, Gerest, and Ronchard-Cizeron. The Sagittaire, the first over-under French shotgun to be mass-produced, was introduced in 1966 and quickly rose to the top of the market. Between 1970 and 1975, production more than doubled. A highly challenging phase, however, was followed up in the 1980s by the corporation closing the facilities at Cours Fauriel to concentrate operations at the mechanical workshops of Boulevard Thiers. During this time, Verney-Carron was awarded the contract for producing sub-assemblies for FAMAS, the French Army's new assault rifle. This partnership, which lasted for more than ten years, helped the business completely revamp its quality control while enabling Verney-Carron to grow consistently in a constantly declining industry.

An over-and-under Sagittaire with a light alloy receiver was developed in 1985, and it was an instant hit, guaranteeing Sagittaire's continued dominance of the market. Three years later, in 1988, the Trap model of the new Super 9 was released, and it was soon followed by several additional models, including the Plume model in 1993. The previous Sagittaire line was eventually superseded by the Super 9. Still, one model, the Double Express, was launched in 1989 and, along with the Impact rifle, helped increase sales of barreled weapons. In 1994, a brand-new Sagittaire model known as the "Nouvelle Technologie" was unveiled. It was praised by the entire hunting press and embraced enthusiastically by hunters.

Many police and law enforcement agencies have since embraced the "Flash-Ball," a brand-new defensive tool that first went on sale in 1990. The "Super Pro," a new Flash-Ball designed for the security industry, was introduced in 1999 and is currently being equipped by the Municipal Police. Over time, it has evolved into one of the fundamental weapons for the French National Police. The Impact Plus, a brand-new bolt-action rifle, was released in 1996. Building on the success of Impact Plus, the Impact Auto carbine—the first and only automatic hunting carbine made in France—was introduced in 2000.

Verney Carron Impact NT Rifle Review

Verney Carron Impact NT is a long-action semi-automatic rifle. The action features a sturdy 6-locking lugs bolt, which locks directly into the barrel, and a two-piston ejection system.

The trigger is light and has a short pull length. The rifle comes with a Battue rib or a rear sight with an adjustable fiber optic front sight (Karbon and Fusion Executive models). Its metal magazine is either pivoting with a capacity of two cartridges or detachable with a capacity of two or five rounds. The safety is located on the trigger guard and locks the trigger. The rifle's barrel measures 550 mm (20.4-inches) or 600 mm (23.6-inches) while its overall length is 1020-1140 mm (40.1-inches to 44.8-inches).

The Impact series features another rifle, Impact LA, which is a pump-action, but it is based on the same system of Impact NT along with Linergie and Speedline. These rifles are adjusted to fit legal requirements in certain countries, where semi-auto weapons are restricted for commercial use. Verney Carron is not the only manufacturer that made various models based on the same system for such purpose, but it is also the case with big names like Browning, for instance. All recent versions of the mentioned Verney Carron rifles share the same Ergal receiver with four pre-tapped holes, making it simple to pick a mount that will fit your rifle. The dimensions and recommendations can be found below.

There are two terms found for similar thing: quick release scope mounts and quick detach scope mounts. Term quick release scope mounts is used mostly in Europe and quick detach scope mounts is used mainly in USA, although they mean the same thing. With these terms we describe a scope mount that can be quickly removed from the rifle in the field without using any tools and quickly attached back on the rifle when needed.

Main advantages:

possibility to use multiple scopes on the rifle,
easy transportation of the scope and the rifle separately,
if scope fails, it is possible to immediately detach it and use iron sights.

FIXED vs DETACHABLE scope mounts

Fixed scope mounts are mounted to the rifle with screws and sometimes even with glue. This means that it is impossible to attach or detach the scope mount using bare hands without using tools. It also means that they are not meant for constantly being attached on or detached off the rifle. Once you screw the mount on the rifle, it normally stays there for a longer period of use.

Detachable scope mounts offer possibility to attach or detach them without using any tools. This is extremely handy while transporting the rifle and the scope separately and it also offers multiple solutions of different optics on the same rifle. Detachable scope mounts can be attached or detached from the rifle in a matter of seconds, using bare hands.

DETACHABLE vs REPEATABLE scope mounts

It is important to know and understand expressions “detachable” and “repeatable” while talking about scope mounts. Term detachable scope mounts implies scope mounts that can be quickly attached or detached without using any tools. However, when you detach this kind of mount and attach it back on the rifle, it is recommended to zero the rifle before using it again. Procedure of detaching and again attaching the mount will probably need a sighting in before next shooting, because mount will not be secured on the rifle in the perfectly same position and conditions as it was before detaching it off the rifle.

On the contrary, repeatable scope mounts are most sophisticated mounts. These scope mounts are also detachable, however – they provide removing scope from the rifle and attaching it back again without zeroing the rifle every time. This means that they are made more precisely and that they are offering a possibility of using different optical sights / scope on the same rifle. These mounts are ideal for hunters who can use optical and iron sights interchangeably, depending on the needs in different situations. With the repeatable scope mounts, it is useful to keep them oiled as well as the upper part of the rifle, so that repeatability is more ensured. With a touch of oil, the repeatability might be better, because parts of the mount will always return to their previous locations.

Different types of repeatable scope mounts:

Pivot mounts,
Dentler mounts,
Picatinny repeatable mounts,
12 mm dovetail repeatable mounts (for break barrel rifles, such as Steyr Duett, Blaser B750, Fair Combi, Fair SLX 800, Bettinsoli rifles, etc.),
Original repeatable mounts, made by manufacturers of rifles for their rifles (Blaser mount, Sauer SUM mount, Mauser M03 mount, Steyr Monoblock mount, etc.).

TIP OFF / ROLL OFF vs SLIDE ON mounts

Nowadays, there are a whole lot of different possibilities, made for attaching riflescopes on the rifles. There are also a lot of different expressions, having the same meaning. It is good to know that tip off and roll off mounts are basically the same thing. They represent quick release scope mounts for dovetails and rails which can be rolled or tipped off the rail vertically to the side of the rail. On the contrary, there are also slide on mounts available on the market. They represent quick release scope mounts that can be slided on or off the rail or dovetail from front or rear side of the rail / dovetail. All of these expressions are mainly used for separate rings that can be attached to the rails / dovetails. As far as functioning the rifle, it does not matter which one of these mounts you choose – tip / roll off or slide on mounts. If they are installed correctly, they are all going to work. However, the main difference between them is the principle of attaching them on rails on dovetails.
