[QUOTE="Varberger757, post: 1055299, member: 66992"] [FONT="]Single shot break action (SSBA)- rifles have the disadvantage in the US to be (almost) unknown. The same is true for their exceptional good qualities due to hunting in rough and demanding terrain like the Alps, Pyrenees, etc. Hunters from Europe are using them with great success all over the world from the Alps, over Asia while hunting for sheep and goats, Argentina and NZ. It’s also almost unknown that they have fine LR – capacities out to 1k if using an appropriate setup. High performance calibres from 6,5 up to .30, and here of course in the magnum class, 6,5 x 284 – 300WBY. Right gun weight (7lbs), reasonable barrel contours (#3 - #4) and a good muzzle brake (or suppressor) are the most important ingredients. With a little bit of training any good hunter/shooter will be able to achieve good reloading speeds as well. It’s not that difficult as it seems. Quite a number of Europeans are even using them under classical driven hunts on boar and deer with very good results. The best “out of the box producers “are Blaser, Merkel and Krieghoff. Sub MOA - guarantee at 100m is a matter of course.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
