The extractor on these is a sliding gate extractor certainly not a Sako style or an M16 style which are also two totally different extractor types...I do like the rifle but the deal breaker for me is the qd cups, I do a lot of hiking when i hunt and i like to carry my rifle in a more traditional over the shoulder carry which would make qd swivel studs mounted in the traditional spots a much better option for me
@krullux20424 ай бұрын
ive been wondering about that as well with the qd flush cup fad. They are almost always on the side due to how they have to mounted into interior aluminum plate. You of course can carry the rifle on your shoulder with it being sideways but it would always have to be on left side of the rifle (for a right handed gun) to keep the bolt from jabbing you in the back. But then if its sideways, how is it going to ride when you also have a backpack on (like most of us hunting in the rocky mountains)?? I worry that the scope will get snagged on your backpack or the pack will constantly be trying to push it off your shoulder. Maybe if there are cups on both sides you could get a sling that hooks to both sides? I would have to try it out first

My biggest issue with the rifle is that the bolt doesn’t lock closed with the safety on. For a USD 2,600 rifle, I expect that feature.

Good job im getting .30 groups out of both my rem long range
@Okrifleman3 ай бұрын
I have been shooting 20 to 30 shot groups and have been a little frustrated with the accuracy. I decided to shoot quite a few 3 shot groups to see if it really did live up to the guarantee. I ended up shooting 16 different groups. Some factory and some handloads. Only two of those groups were over 3/4”. A .895” and a 1.006” were my two worst. Anyway that’s pretty solid.

It is strange that it still weighs 7 pounds with carbon stock and barrel. My Tikka roughtech with no carbon weighs 7lbs.
@ddgslegs45165 ай бұрын
The point of a carbon barrel is not to be lighter than typical lightweight steel hunting barrels. The purpose of a carbon barrel is to provide all the benefits of a heavy contour barrel while not being as heavy as said heavy steel barrels. Thats why for example your tikka with a thin hunting profile STEEL barrel will weigh about the same as a tikka with a heavy contour CARBON barrel.

@@jamessammann9183 I understand all that and how they work. I have shot both. I don't understand why he says it's impossible to measure. I have no problem measuring with a second focal plane scope in MOA. At the distances I'm concerned with, I'll always be at max power anyhow. I believe the only place where a first focal plane scope would offer an advantage is in PRS.
