Do you know how smooth the Mossberg action is? I have many Remingtons actions. They are fine if you are working them slowly, but the bolt jams if you try to work them quickly if you aren't careful to push them straight.

Thank you for your replies. Unfortunately, I cannot view those videos here, but thank you. The videos I posted may be a bit misleading. They show mostly the movement portions of the match because that makes the match look very exciting. There are portions where you must move a short distance, then drop to the ground and shoot 10 shots in 30 seconds. This would be quite similar to your Stangskyting (once you start shooting). This is at 300, 400 and 500 meters. There are also portions where you start standing. Then the target is exposed for 8 seconds. During this time, you must drop to the ground and hit it twice. This is done 5 times on the same target. I am not worried about the stock or the magazine. There are companies like Manners that make traditional style stocks, and there are companies that make tactical ones like this one: http://mdttac.com/lss-chassis-for-tikka-t3-sa.html These stocks will take Accuracy International magazines of Accurage Mag ones. They both make a .223 magazine. My main concern is how fast I can operate the bolt smoothly. When I try this with some rifles, the cocking of the action is very disruptive to aiming. Does the Sauer rifle cock when you raise the bolt, or when you close it? There does not seem to be any resistance when the bolt handle is being lifted. I will look at the Sako and the Mossberg.

Here are some videos of our service rifle matches, for those interested: " target="_blank " target="_blank This is the rule book for the match: http://www.dcra.ca/2014%20docs/2014%20N ... -02-06.pdf Kris

Hi, I'm sorry, I do not speak Norwegian, so I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask this. I hope no one is offended by me asking in English. I have an interest in the type of shooting you do in the video shown here: http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/200 ... ire-match/" target="_blank We do a type of shooting here in Canada called "Service Rifle" that is normally shot with a C7 (or AR-15). I would like to try it with a bolt action rifle. Some of the matches would required fast shooting like you do in your Landsskytterstevnet. I know the preferred rifle for this is the Sauer 200 STR, and that it is also shot with a Krag or M67. The Sauer is pretty expensive, and Krags and M67's are sometimes hard to come by. Plus, we normally use 5.56x45mm (.223 Rem) ammunition for this. What I'm wondering is if people sometime train or practice for Landsskytterstevnet on inexpensive modern commercial rifles, and if so, what kind are popular? Something with a smooth action that doesn't bind, I would imagine. The cocking force would probably also be a concern. A rifle that cocks on closing might be advantageous, but there are not many modern rifles that cock on close. Of the rifles I have looked at, the Tikka T3 looks like it might be a good candidate. Any help would be appreciated. I came here because... well, Norwegians are the experts on this kind of shooting. Thank you in advance! Kris
