Straight-Pull? Which is the best?

G
I have a R8 with a couple of different barrels. Used it in Alaska on a moose hunt last fall.

While it is truly different, and some hat anything "different", it has some great features. Scopes that stay zeroed when being removed/re-installed, easy of caliber change, etc.

Mine are well more than "acceptably accurate". Do they have the feel of a nice custom, of course not.

For the guy that said "take your 10K and buy a nice double rifle"....uh not happening. You won't find a double rifle that falls anywhere near the "nice category for 10K

Straight-Pull? Which is the best?

There used to be this recurrent joke about “Americans drooling over the quality of custom rifles…”

…and “American Custom Rifle makers drooling over the quality of a production Blaser rifle.”

Not sure if it’s the Blaser Tactical or all Blasers wherein somekinda nitrided carbon supersteel is used for the barrels.

They’re notoriously difficult to thread.

That was years ago when machine tooling and techniques couldn't handle the hardness.
No issues now.
That nitrided barrel hardness adds life to barrels and most Blaser barrels would last way past 4,000 rounds with acceptable accuracy.
Blaser gave up testing at 50,000 rounds on their .308 TacII test rifle.
Not everyone's cup of tea.

No crocagator yet but about 20 years ago I watched a big old Hereford bull wandering through the woods from my climber and a couple years ago a saddled but riderless horse ran across the field at a dead run.
The bull belonged to a neighbor but I never did find out who the horse belonged to.

Hunting & Fishing Camouflage clothing / over clothing options

jbell
I am looking for inexpensive but effective camo pants and jacket that are designed to wear over clothes. I am thinking something like a leafy suit or the mesh base to it. I prefer the mesh style vs the leafy style because I have ordered a few inexpensive leafy suits and the materials used in the leaf part has been shiny / reflective. I would like to keep the cost down as this is not going to be my primary hunting clothing. It needs to be light in weight and bulk to pack easily and well vented to stay cool. It will be used year round, so I prefer more grays, tans, & light browns vs deep greens. Thank you in advance.

Straight-Pull? Which is the best?

My only criticism for my Savage Impulse, in 6.5CM, was the OEM stock. So I replaced it with a Boyd's stock. An aluminum chassis would have been preferred but not available. So I settled for the Boyd's with a few upgrades.

It doesn't like bipods but that is more of a stock issue rather than for the barreled action itself. It's very accurate when shooting off bags.

I hate the accu-trigger. It would be nice if Timney or Triggertech made one. Regardless of that, I have got use to it.

The one thing that aids in the speed of manipulating the bolt is the extended bolt handle as shown in the photo below.
