New Schultz and Larsen Synthetic

[404Shooter]

I know some of us are blinded by the tradition of wooden ‘furniture’, and I know some of us see our rifles only as tools but I’ve just seen this new Schultz and Larsen offering and I think it’s a thing of beauty......

 

[K.H - Tikka]

I really do like that!

 

[Littlejimmy]

I like, but why would you go to the bother of what looks like a ambidextrous pistol grip/thumb hole then slap on that cheek riser...

 

[JH83]

I like the clean lines of the regular stock, which I believe is a PSE (I might of made that up), I’ve handled one and they’re a cut above most rifles these days-for really sensible money.

and I think it’s a thing of beauty......

I have coveted the S+L brand rifles for years but that stock just doesnt fit the bill for me.

 

[monarman]

If that comes in left handed im saving up!!!!....
Thumbhole stock and adjustable cheekpeice in a synthetic stock is the epitome of ergonomics and will get the best out of a shooter.

 

[Lampwick]

Life moves on and I’m sure it’s a great rifle and I wouldn’t turn a free one down!

However I prefer mine.

R8?? There were thumb hole stocks out before the R8, RPA, Boyds, savage..

Its an identical style to the r8 just another rip off to say rpa Boyd's and savage are similar to this or the r8 is just stupid

 

[monarman]

Not quite an exact r8 copy is it though?... neither is the sako s20....
The stock shapes do share similarities... but that thumbhole design has been around longer than the r8 rifle has!.. and by adding an adjustable cheekpiece all it has done has increased ergonomics.... again.. something that has been around longer than the r8...
If anything it shows that most manufacturers are finally taking note of what a rifle shooter needs for the best handling these days, especially since the use of iron sights is almost a thing of the past and large objective scopes are now the norm.....

Blaser have done nothing special with their stocks.... it took them long enough to come up with an adjustable cheekpiece when other manufacturers had them long before... and blaser have done it at a considerable cost to the consumer to boot!!!.... any rifle manufacturer that now makes a thumbhole adjustable stock for hunting should not be cast off as "copying the r8"... because that is not the case... what they are doing is putting a more acceptable handling rifle out to the masses at a cheaper price than the overpriced blasers...

Google is your friend.... have a look at rifles with thumbhole adjustable stocks... you'll see there are more than just ballers out there.. and have been for a long time.

But with superior build quality elsewhere, a proper bolt, the option of a fantastic two stage match trigger and a far superior cut rifled barrel. Apart from that, just the same

 

[boar & deer]

Still a cheap copy of a r8 just saying there are other rifles with thumb hole stocks dosent get away from the fact these rifles are identical in stock design all these blaser haters trying to say this isnt a copy need there eyes testing. Hopefully a better copy then the s20 which feels horribly cheap to handle

 

[monarman]

I suggest you take a closer look at the blaser r8 stock.... the adjustable version is a complete different shape to the standard r8 stock.... which has no adjustment whatsoever!.... the sako s20 and the schultz has a 'similar' look to the standar r8 stock.... but they have adjustable cheekpieces which the standard r8 does not!.... therefore neither stock is a copy of the r8 stock... simple!!...

I'm not a blaser hater... I think they are good rifles but far too expensive for what they are.... and the standard r8 stock was a poor design for cheekweld without an add on raised comb or aftermarket adjustable cheekpiece which the likes of Karsten and m rainback did.

Now all they’ve got to do is make it in stainless with a double stack double feed magazine. The they’ll be getting somewhere.

 

[pablo.222]

Any prices for these yet?

 

[Mr. Gain]

Definitely Blaserish, but in a good way. I hope this isn't a sign of S&L having sold it's soul to L&O.
