Other than that, they're pretty sweet as long as you get one that isn't shit and/or a retarded configuration.



The SL8 is awful in terms of ergonimics, non-modular, heavy, realllllly expensive...

The charging handle is in a very usefull out of the way place,its simple to operate and tbh thats where I would want it, the forward assist is very usefull having had the odd stoppage or when the bolt doesn't quite flick far enough

their so simple to operate,all i do before I go hunting is open the bolt on a empty mag,take the mag and load it up and then once I see game I flick the bolt release and I'm ready to go!

and I'll make a point of this: they can outshoot bolt guns.so the myth about bolt guns being more accurate isn't so true anymore....
I'll provide photo evidence if need be and bear this in mind the groups were shot quick,like enough to get sight picture back on target...

I'm not saying the semi's are superior but what I'm saying is that semis have a fair few advantages,in saying that though I'll always own both!
