Lynx 94 Target straight pull rifle

#1 Post by lapua338 »

I was wondering if anyone owns one of these:

Interesting reviews from Shooting Times and Sporting Rifle:

It would be tempting if I had £3900 windfall!

Never heard of them but they do look nice.

I was talking to some shooters last weekend and quite a few of them were using a barrel I had never heard of and cannot remember the name of, something Scandinavian. I am sure there are many very good rifles, barrels and trigger sets that we never get to see in this country.

That could be the one yes, a lot of the barrels were painted or finished in quite a deep red colour.

Except for the straight pull systems using a rotary bolt and intergal lugs, I tend to consider the systems with separate lugs more as a conversation piece. Necessary tolerances additions makes them case stretchers to say the least.

This might not be a problem for hunters who may be tempted by a faster cycling, although I am not sure such mechanisms are really faster.

I used one of their rifles, maybe a year ago. It was an estate rifle and being a 'guest' i got to use it whilst accompanied by one of the estate stalkers.

I shot maybe 5-6 rounds in total (100yd check test and dropping two beasts).

Seemed a nice solid gun, quick cycling and accurate.

No idea of their worth.
