If it fits thats half the battle. If it doesnt your making work for yourdlself.
It would not be my first choice of rifle but as I said...if it fits then it is a contender. HFT is better with a single shot adapter and not sure if the R8 offers this. A mag is useable but its an additional faff.
My HFT rifle and hunting riflemis one and the same .... an HW100 with a few mods....alloy cylinder and an adjustable butt and cheek piece. I love the fit and the ergonomics and the SSA is untoucha le for HFT and the 14 shot rotary mags are the same out in the field.
I have had others but then100 is the rifle I go back to.
I have shot a rotex on the bench and didnt like it personally but thats the point...its personal.
In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill
