    if straight is so good how , come it never caught on with the armies of the world. leaving a side cost , this is just me i feel much safer with a turn bolt . i have never owned a straight but i have seen several near ones with straight pull . it might have been the owners fault , the rifles, were 5.000 and over not cheap ones .at work i have fired 100 old .303 rounds a day and have not seen one blow back .. and that most week ends over 16 years . only damage target and my hearing happy hunting

    Because it might have been obsolete from the start for military purposes ? Why would you use a variation on bolt action when you can marry a straight pull type configuration with a big spring and a gas or recoil system and have yourself a semi or full auto ?

    If you want a straight pull get a blaser simple as.

    Personally i prefer the R93 over the R8 as i dont like the idea of a trigger/mag combo bt which ever you go for you wont be dissapointed

    Ive never had or seen a close one with a blaser, If the bolt is not locked down properly the pin will not fire, this has happened me several times when shooting targets and all you hear is a click but it wont fire.
