    Ask Proudkiwi he has one, and Im fairly sure he wouldn't swap it for any Sako.

    Improved trigger (desmodronic?) and a stronger action to take the bigger African bangers as well as their new line of Blaser chamberings.

    Not cheap compared to what? It gets pretty academic after a while.

    As R93 said only saddles will swap between the two.

    Never listen to 7mmsaum. He even thinks Holdens are any good.

    Likewise.

    It was a general question. Not directed at you mate. Just wanted your opinion on the R8 and if you have used one.
    Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.

    Done your research by the looks James. I am still unsure why you would want the trigger and mag to drop out? Bit gimicky ya reckon?

    I'm not sure about the whole drop out trigger either. Seems odd. I thought I had nice, quality rifles until we got a blaser T2..... An R93 is on the list now if I can find a second hand one next year, those actions are incredible.

    No worries. I had a crack with an R8, it's no diff to shoot IMO than the 93. I think they were trying to address the top load mag by creating a removable box and then thought to take it a step further and include the trigger as well to provide another type of storage/security option. Seems reasonable but not significant enough to warrant me changing.
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    Good enough for me. I would still like a play with an R8, Sam should send me his one for a play.
