German modular straight pulls
Posted: Sun Apr 21, 2019 7:16 pm
I'm thinking of getting a German straight pull, either a Merkel Helix or Blaser R8. To be used predominantly on paper, statics to 200m and running Deer at 100m, with occasional deer and boar trips.
Does anyone on here have either? Any comments you'd like to share? Accuracy? Maintenance? Return to zero after a barrel swap?
I'm tempted to go all in and 1-for-1 a couple of calibres and get the equivalent barrels/bolts for the modular (GAS), but my sensible side says save the cash, get one calibre first and if that works out look to change another at a later date. Thoughts?
