Straight Pull Rifles?

[Challer]

I will say that I'm glad I got into the R8 when I did because of the price increases over the years. Done some adding and subtracting, but have it down to what I need, so unlikely to make a change.

Your comment about the BRX initially surprised me, but at the same time I can't blame you with the current market trend.

If you get out of the R8 game, keep me in mind. My needs have the potential to expand. All the best my friend.

Oh, just selling two Selous barrels. Keeping the two rifles. But there are times a nice light weight all around with more than 5 rds is handy

Wait - he actually kills Nilgai with a 30-06 ? According to the people in Texas I talk to anything less than a 338 Win Mag just bounces off them. Yes, I'm being sarcastic. Probably the same people who think a .243 is only good for ground squirrels.

I think the 243 and 6.5 debate being poor for deer/only wound is skewed by the % of new shooters using them vs the rounds actual effectivness.

I have an r8. 5 barrels 2 stocks 3 bolt carriers 5 bolts

It's too expensive

It's too heavy

Recoil is ok, but I think it could have been better

Both of mine are thumbholes, sometimes I forget to de-cock the safety because it sits under the scope so deeply.

I am not sure how I feel about that last part, but it has happened to be a number of times.

Have you tried a traditional R8 stock? It's very natural for me to de-cock the rifle when I'm done shooting, but it also goes to the amount of (dry fire) practice I do.

Muscle memory is real.
