Malinois Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hi, I went into a local gusnhop today and shouldered severla makes of rifle. If money was no object I would go for the Sauer, I also like the Heym and strangely a real cheapie in the RWS TITAN LUXUS So much so I am doing a bit of research into them as they are not that widely sold here in the UK. I have a variation for a 6.5x55, I am also a left hooker which is all catered for by RWS. Does anyone have one of these rifles? What is your opinion?

macca Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hi, I have an RWS Titan in 7/08. It is the cheap version with the classic (straight) stock. I prefer this shape to shoot rather than the hog back style. Brilliant gun - 3 shots inside an inch at 100 metres - no trouble. Lightweight adjustable trigger interchangeable barrel system - what more could you want. Cheers :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Malinois, I am a left-hooker also. I had a Sako 75 Hunter 6.5x55, and I know Gregor Macleod has two such rifles new on his racks (£995). I often kick myself for selling my Sako. Heym and Sauer are beautiful, solid rifles. Accuracy is much of a muchness between all brands - you just pay for varying standards of finish and gadgetry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinois Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hi, I looked at Gregors site, but the RFD's charge a fortune around here to accept stuff so it bumps the price up. Also, I am thinking of having the barrel chopped down to 20 inch on whatever I get. It would gut me to cut £100 of steel off a Sako Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hi, why are you thinking of cutting the barrel, if its weight , no need with the RWS as the aluminium receiver makes it a very lite rifle. At 20 inches it will be very loud and there will be a loss in projectile velocity. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinois Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hi, I am thinking of making it like the Steyr Moutain so that when the mod is on then it is the length of a standard rifle. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Not quite the same but.. my RWS Titan 3 in .223 will same hole at 100yards with factory sako. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi, 20 inch barrel with mod, further reduction in velocity, gas pressure behind projectile accelerates projectile down the barrel. SKS industries has a mod design that only increases barrel length by about 3 inches - uses an over the barrel expansion chamber.

Malinois Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi, I can't find a website for SKS. Does anyone have a link? Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi, my dyslexia is playing havoc SSK industries http://www.sskindustries.com Couldnt find the mod plan there but if you do a search on 300 whisper it will take you to all sorts of interesting places. Here is a cutaway of the mod. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
