    The switch barrel concept is really born out of firearms laws in alot of Europe where you are limited to a certain number of guns.

    Here in Norway a Blaser with 6 different barrels would still be classed as one single rifle.

    I help out at the Range where up to 500 hunters per week take there Shooting test in the lead up to the hunting season.You see alot if different guns as well as shooters of all abilities.

    There just doesn't seem to be any cheaper options for a decent straight pull rifle.

    Browning Nordic Maral? I tried out a fella's one at the range a few weeks back and it was really nice to use. Butter smooth action, 5 & 10 detachable box magazines, nice trigger and was accurate too.

    The action is 30 metres long

    The Blaser R93/R8 action is not only straight pull, it is substantially shorter than turn bolt actions making for a much more compact rifle. All other straight pulls im aware of are significantly longer than conventional turn bolts.

    lol yes I agree, the action was quite long compared to a blaser. But the Maral does 'fling' back automatically once pulled back which is pretty handy.

    Been collecting up the bits for this for a while now, just need a hinged floor plate to finish it. Kind of a walking varminter sort of rifle mainly for shooting hares and bunnies but should have no trouble with a fallow or two.
    Rem700 22-250, 26", Stug stock which I cleaned up and wet sanded heaps to give it a nice finish, also reshaped the forend and used epoxy to fill any imperfections and wet sanded it all back again, it's come up pretty darn good. Dpt Mk2, Nightforce Shv

    P1200 mate, it's super fine but leaves a nice finish and you won't go through the original outer layer of epoxy, lots of elbow grease!
