I am gathering information on a new rifle which (hopefully) I will be getting towards end of this year and I would really like this rifle to be a modular/take down type.
For my hunting I need my rifle to be dismounted to the minimum necessary, to be packed into my rucksack until I reach the hunting area.
I have narrowed my choice down to three models, and I would like you to chip in and add your comments/experience to help me make the right (for me) choice.
In alphabetical order :grin: :
* Blaser R93 Professional
Pros =
Very accurate :grin:
Scope mount directly on the barrel (100% return to zero guaranteed after barrel ri-assembling) :grin:
Active safety, it can be carried with a chambered round (hammer needs to be manually cocked) :grin:
Quite lightweight :wink:
Cons =
Expansive bolt
No set trigger available
Plasticky made
** Mauser M03
Pros =
Active safety, it can be carried with a chambered round (hammer needs to be manually cocked) :grin:
Adjustable set trigger (100-300 grams) :grin:
6 lugs 60° rotating bolt
Quality made :grin:
Cons =
Scope mounts on frame (Is it going to return to perfect zero after reassembling ?) :? :? :?
***Mannlicher Luxus
Pros =
Adjustable set trigger :grin:
Scope mount directly on the barrel :grin:
6 lugs rotating bolt
Quality made :grin:
Cons =
No manual cocking available
Thinner barrels compared to others
To be honest, I would lean towards the Mauser if it wasn't for the Scope mount that is separate from the barrel (big question mark on keeping the zero).
Pricewise, they are all pretty close...on the expensive side
Feel free to add your comments.
Thank you.
