A Legacy of Excellence

At MANAEL, we’ve always been driven by a simple philosophy: build gear that stands up to the demanding conditions of Australian shooting environments.

This vision has grown from grassroots in a South Aussie tin shed, to become Australia’s leading firearm accessory manufacturer.

And every step of the way, we’ve poured our passion and experience into every product we create. Because we’re moved by great products, it sparked development of the CB12 Chassis.

This long-range precision chassis was born from extensive feedback and rigorous testing and represents the pinnacle of precision rifle technology.

Designed for Ultimate Performance

The MANAEL CB12 Chassis is the big brother of the acclaimed Sedajo Chassis (proud PRS MLE Series Winner 2022 & 2023).

We took the performance & ergonomics of the winning Sedajo Chassis – and feedback from top competition shooters – to craft something bigger, longer & beefier.
