Likewise. One rifle with two barrels (.223 and 6.5) that can be broken down into the size of a suitcase and then be put back together in less than a minute with absolute repeatability and reliability. The whole package is pretty unbelievable. That said, Tikkas more than fit the bill for my uses currently and getting an AI instead for about the same price as the Blaser would be pretty cool as well.
JGR,
This is a PERFECT opportunity for @Unknown Munitions to own the market with the ideal action and trigger assembly.
I like the 100 in theory but haven't owned one. Stock geometry might be good for rifle motion.
That's a fair question, but maybe they don't want to. What you want, and what shareholders or interested parties want might be different things.
Once you have been ****** by a 700 trigger on an animal of a lifetime you will understand.
Because the 700 trigger, including aftermarket alternatives, fails.
That's another one of those situations where the market needs to be savvy enough and demanding enough to encourage manufacturers to create new designs. And deal with the performance tradeoffs.
You don't need to convince me. You need to convince the manufacturers.
Already in motion
Precisely.
I haven't seen the video that you mentioned. Maybe a CMM for the inspection? That would be my guess. Or a profilometer or comparator but that wouldn't look as sexy in a video.
FWIW, I have performed tests on 700 triggers and other designs. They all pretty much suck, but some 700 pattern triggers suck the most.
Definitely not “cheaper”
I have sold quite a few hundred of those rifles and they do not disappoint. They still run SAKO barrels, made by Berretta, and for the price point are hard to beat. However, make your selection purely based on the use of the rifle. Hunting versions with a penciled barrel heat up and cause heat wave effect after 3 shots. Anything prolonged grab their target set up.
