Straight-Pull? Which is the best?

Con:

If the Beretta has any issues, and you have to return it for a warranty repair, you will potentially experience the world champs at terrible customer service. A literal F rating with the BBB. They stole a rifle from me years ago, and refuse to return it. It blew up in my hands, they told me to send it in, I did, then they refused to speak to me. To this day I have never received any emails or calls from Beretta USA, despite sending them dozens of emails and making hundreds of calls. There is nothing that can be done about it either. If you read the BBB ratings, you'll find that I'm not the only one.

So, put that on your scale.

My favorite hunting rifle.
Sure, but it's not ideally suited for most hunting applications. The rifle I climb mountains in wyoming with doesn't resemble my coyote rifles, which don't resemble my deer stand rifles, etc. I was thinking about buying one, (still thinking about it), but I just couldn't figure out what I would do with it other than slap steel casually. I just don't see it as well suited to any of my hunting applications. Mileage certainly varies.

Also, where is your suppressor?

Straight-Pull? Which is the best?

Blaser manufactures one of the most accurate sniper/target rifles ever made and it is straight pull.

The Blaser R93 is a straight-pull action precision rifle offered in a multitude of calibers and barrel lengths manufactured by the German firearms manufacturer Blaser. Designed by Blasers' designer Mr. Meinhard Zeh in 1993, it had a number of features rare on modern hunting rifles, including a manual cocking system and a proprietary Blaser saddle scope mount[ for mounting the optic directly to the quick-change barrel.


The Blaser R93 is a truly modular system built around an aluminum alloy frame, offering differing stocks and barrels varying length and thickness available in chamberings from .22 LR to .375 H&H Magnum/.416 Remington Magnum/.458 Winchester Magnum size.
The barrel has a quick-change design which lets the user switch barrels using two screws and a hex key. Different bolt heads for different groups of calibers and magazine inserts are also user changeable, making the Blaser R93 a modular firearm capable of using a multitude of calibers in its chassis.
The rifle has a shorter overall length compared to more traditional designs due to the trigger being placed under the magazine. The rifle also has a reputation for being easy to disassemble and reassemble which can be an advantage when doing maintenance or during travelling, and has a reputation for having a repeatable zero upon reassembly. The Blaser R93 Tactical is a German bolt action sniper rifle, based on the Blaser R93 design. It has as variants the Blaser LRS 2 and Tactical 2. It is used by German and Dutch police forces as well as the Australian military and special police units. The rifles were manufactured by the German firearms manufacturer Blaser.
