The SR 21 embodies a couple of Blaseresque design concepts (in order to cheapen production), like the joint barrel-receiver unit; the predecessor SR 20 is a good gun (look on the used guns market); and the SR 30 is a very appealing, classically elegant straight-pull with a circumferential ball-bearing locking system.

the Heym Express. Never saw one, but should be a great action and rifle, and expensive! Used to be more than 8000 German Marks, or around 4000 USD?

Both my rifles have been the recently discontinued SR20. It has been replaced by the SR21 which has a sort of Mod 70 safety and a magazine as opposed to my rifles that have a 3 position Sako type safety and a hinged floor plate. They build rifles in a vast aray of calibres and they also build true left hand.

This is no mass produced rifle - They pillar and glass bed at the factory and the finish is excellent. Well worth the cost IMO. They run at about $1400 new here.

The do a Classic straight comb as well as a Euro drop comb, full stock, target and short barrel driven game style.

My 7x57 was a real tack driver and shot into sub half an inch. My 8x57 will do an inch with fatory loads and I am sure I can tighten this up.

The African Express rifle they make is also availiable in LH and again they produce a huge range of big bore calibres.

No comment on the SR30 straight pull or the various doubles and drillings on offer, but the SR20, and presumably the SR21 is a great turn bolt rifle.

If its really a "wet" dream I add a 20/76 barrel set :-)

Have fun! Hermann

I posted it (I believe it's page 2) in the Blaser R 93 thread on the "African Game" forum.
