    Nice rifle, cool video, cheeky bloody Weka. If you decide to order in another bag I'd be keen on one too & go you halves in the freight?
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    How do you find the straight pull?
    Benefits of faster reloading for followup shots. any other?

    I never found the R93 to have enough advantage over a turn bolt simply due to speed of reloading. Everything just works is the most simple summary for me. No need to mess with triggers, actions or stocks. The barrels are typically very accurate and they are not fussy with ammo in mine. Funny thing is all the barrels I know of prefer a bit of a jump with reloads.
    I think the design is inherently accurate.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Nice vid, cheers. They are a sweet rifle, they look quite sophisticated. I'd never handled one until I started taking a German mate hunting, if I had a spare few K to spend on a rifle I'd be buying one tomorrow.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    I have found the speed of cycling very handy if I fluff my first shot or need more than one animal.
    Their accuracy is inherent and imho, due largely to concerntricity throughout the design.
