Why I know that the future of guns are not “bolt action” rifles, my favorite bolt action gun would have to be the innovative straight pull action of the Blaser (owned by Sig Arms).
Sniper rifles should be minimalistic. They are for hunting and don’t need to have miles of rail system or every damn piece of “tacti-cool” gadget hanging off them. When you’re hunting it’s ideal to have a nice lightweight rifle that is highly accurate and most importantly reliable. Good optics and back up iron are a must. A gun is only as good as the optics (shooter aside) so don’t go cheap.
Blaser doesn’t entirely get this either as in all fairness their “Tactical” model is a mess of heaviness and waste.
I do LOVE their R8 series (pictured). This minimalistic strictly business kind of rifle is what other sniper rifles should aspire to be when they grow up…..
