Thread: Utas .223

The charging handle on the left is a big put off for me for what I would use one for ie service rifle competions. To me, being a right handed shooter, I think it would be a pain to try and cycle the bolt when in the prone position or when utilising a sling, compared to a bolt handle on the right. Now if I was a lefty I would be seriously looking at one.

However I can see it working for the likes of ipsc rifle and 3 gun where only one shot per target is required and you can rack the bolt when moving/transitioning to another target.

I’m planning on having my 2 point sling in nice and tight.
Keeping the UTAS in my shoulder so racking with the left and then back to the handguard for firing.

We expect a full test fire report when you get it

@Beavis might as well, although if shipping gets delayed again, he'll be busy with another new arrival.
