Makes Remington bolt lift feel a mile long.

I like how the bolt handle is curved down like that. Mean looking gun too.

That's real nice looking. What sort of groups did you get with that thing? Does the 16" barrel affect much?

Very nice rig mate

Hey, that looks like a Quadlock. Not too many 4 lug actions out there, RPA makes some good stuff! How about some details and how she shot? Thanks for the teaser looking forward to the FL review!

Looks nice , I was under the impression , that RPA is going bust in the UK , the company have a division thats called Steelcore designs , that use the Quadlock action and put it in chassis stock of their own design .

Can some one confirm the status of RPA , ie if they are still in business or bust/broke etc .

Later Chris

Steel Core is run by Mike Cherry and to the best of my knowledge is a separate company / entity not related to RPA.

They are still in business, although I don't have any information about their going bust or not.

It is an RPA Quadlite action and trigger.

Accuracy was excellent. The short barrel doesn't hurt accuracy, but it does reduce velocity. It's not an issue for what this rifle is intended to do.

What's up with the ejection? Two went past the camera, but a couple barely made it out of the gun it seemed.

Re: Having a "blast" with a 16" Bolt Gun

what kind of muzzle velocity do you get with a 16" barrel?

Re: Having a "blast" with a 16" Bolt Gun

Looks like fun. I thought I read somewhere that ejection was based on the speed of the bolt.. but it does seem a bit erratic in that video.

Good eye. I'm curious too.

Looks damn nice.

I need my personal economy to turn around. Making me want more toys.

Re: Having a "blast" with a 16" Bolt Gun

i think its got bevelled stacked washers for the spring assembly on the firing pin if i remember correctly , ive been told by 2 gunsmiths that they would not use the action ?

not sure why , it could be price or customer service etc etc and not to do with quality?
over here they are expensive, and the tactical stock velcro stickers on to keep it in closed pos, expect a bit better at those prices
