CanadaboyHeym SR-30, anyone else shoot one ?
I've been shooting my new SR-30 a bit and absolutely love it. It's a standard model in 6.5x55. Quick, nice handling, well built and accurate.
I'm just curious whether anyone else on here uses an SR-30, they seem to generate almost zero attention here in North America.
The rifle currently wears either a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 #4 reticle, or an Aimpoint 9000L, both in Heym swing mounts. The Swarovski Z4i 2.5-10x56 in the photo was a great scope, but was replaced by the Aimpoint as it is more practicle for my hunting purposes.

Nordic2They are not common here either. Most people want the change of barrels of a r93 instead.

All have been very accurate.

zimbabweI had an SR30 carbine in 35 Whelen and the accuracy and function was beyond reproach but that was the absolutely hardest kicking rifle I have ever owned. It was lightening fast however. A gunsmith friend shot it a couple of times and it gave him a very nice scope cut. It had the absolute best and quickest iron sights I have ever used. I believe they were ERA. The rifle was picked up at the factory by a Colonel who was stationed near there. Built to his specs. Have actually been sorry I sold it. Very unique rifle.
