The R8 offers some interesting new features, compared to the R93, in that the entire trigger and mag group drops away from the stock. I actually ordered a wood blued Sako 85 but the importer thought my order was a duplicate and didn't place it so I got the hump and ordered a R93. Bloody glad I did.
    As I have said, I have never seen an R8 up close. I do not understand why you would want the trigger and mag to be detatchable? I also hear that nothing but the saddle mount can be used on a R93?
    I will stick with the R93, got too many things aftermarket done to it.
    Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.
