    Straight-Pull? Which is the best?

    I have a Raven M80 CF stock on my R8. Did you buy an X or R8 receiver and are piecemealing the build ? SJC

    Straight-Pull? Which is the best?

    Nope, but if I didn't have a Tac II in 308 and 6 CM I would. R8 in 300 Wsm for big game, Tac II for comp and two enhanced Savage Impulse Predators in 20-250, 243 and 260 for varmints. I have all the straight pull bases covered and haven't used a turn bolt rifle in years. SJC

    You can get anything off of aliexpress but a turn bolt rifle. Even China knows better.;) SJC

    Straight-Pull? Which is the best?

    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...

    Straight-Pull? Which is the best?

    Most crap on what they can't afford. It's understandable since most of you are content using slow cycling turn bolt rifles. To each his/her own. SJC

    Straight-Pull? Which is the best?

    You spend thousands on a rifle, scope + ammo and cheap out on the mount ? Precision and repeatability costs money. SJC

    Straight-Pull? Which is the best?

    Blaser R8 Ultimate X I have Blaser's and two custom Savage Impulse Predator rifles that are my primary and backup predator rig's. Never heard of any bolt issues with the Impulse rifles. Both of my Impulse rifles have never skipped a beat and while not as smooth cycling as my Blaser's, both are...

    Night Vision NV and thermal kills...

    Weather went to shit, so I headed south and hunted with a friend. Dropped the third dog at a farm I dropped the male of a pair two weeks earlier. She came in howling like mad and I stopped her at 183 yards. Since it was the day before the end of the season, we didn't hold back and let em' rip...

    Night Vision NV and thermal kills...

    Second dog was from a pair that tormented me for an hour before I lured them into range with a lamb distress call after flanking them with the help of the stealth scooter. Dropped the big male as it was traveling through the woods at 30 yards. The fixed focus of the X50 shines for the type of...

    Help overwhelmed first thermal

    L3 all the way, but not before getting a decent spotter for ease of target detection as I wrote in a post from Aug 26th, 2024. TOP's has the L3 for $2,300 shipped with a free quality QD mount. L3 Ocular zoom makes further shots easy. I would also get the throw lever from Apex3D. L3 Throw lever SJC

    Savage Impulse bottom metal?

    He also didn't do his homework to know the rifle has no aftermarket support. He assumed it did, so it's Savage's fault. I never said I wasn't an asshole, but I do my homework before buying a rifle. SJC.

    Savage Impulse bottom metal?

    The OP is blaming Savage for buying a rifle he didn't research, your defending him spouting BS and I have an attitude ? SJC

    Savage Impulse bottom metal?

    If you did your homework you would've known the Impulse predator and Elite are the only impulse models that use AICS magazines. Savage shouldn't be blamed for your poor reading comprehension. All rifle manufacturers use proprietary magazines. Return the Hog hunter and buy a Predator model...
