The History of Strasser

Strasser has been producing essential parts for hunting and sporting guns for renowned brands for decades. The company's parts, which are made at its Austrian facility, have also been used reliably and safely in rockets launched by the European Space Agency. However, Strasser's team is not just knowledgeable about gun production, they are also passionate hunters who understand the needs of those in the field.

In 2005, the company introduced its pioneering straight-pull bolt action rifle, the RS 05, which became a significant development in hunting weapons. This model, which features a patented hydraulic barrel clamping system, has been well-received by hunters globally. In 2014, the RS 05 was improved and rereleased as the RS 14, which features a systematic and further developed LS barrel exchange system. The RS barrel exchange system, a new feature of the RS 14, allows for a highly accurate, repeatable, and reliable change of caliber, similar to the RS 05. It is a simple and innovative technology that will appeal to enthusiasts. For hunters who do not require a change of caliber, the RS SOLO offers all the benefits of a straight-pull bolt action rifle at a competitive price. The barrel of the RS SOLO comes in the caliber of your choice and performs consistently with high reliability.

The TAC 1 was specifically designed for sport shooting. It is a precision weapon with all the necessary properties that a marksman needs to succeed. Its safe, accurate design and ergonomic operating functions make a Strasser straight-pull bolt action rifle a reliable companion for hunting at home or abroad.

Strasser RS 14 Evolution Rifle Review

The Strasser RS 14 Evolution is a straight-pull bolt-action hunting rifle designed for accuracy and reliability. Its push-feed action features a robust bolt made of high-grade steel, which operates smoothly and precisely. The receiver, also made of high-grade steel, has been machined to precise tolerances to provide a solid platform for the bolt and barrel.

The Strasser RS 14 Evolution is available with a detachable magazine with 3+1 rounds capacity for a standard caliber. It can be easily removed and replaced, making it convenient to reload the rifle in the field. The Strasser RS 14 Evolution stock is made of a durable, weather-resistant wooden, synthetic, or carbon material that is comfortable to hold and handle. The Strasser RS 14 Evolution has a manual safety located on the back of the receiver. It can be easily engaged or disengaged with the thumb and effectively blocks the firing pin to prevent accidental discharges. It is also accompanied by a simple red cocking indicator on the upper part of the bolt. Finding a mount for your scope should not be an issue since this rifle has a built-in Picatinny rail, which gives the user plenty of mounting solutions. The trigger is covered with "diamond-like carbon" coating, which has a high degree of resilience and low friction.

The barrel length of the Strasser RS 14 Evolution has a wide range from 510 mm (20 inches) to 660 mm (26 inches). The overall length of the rifle depends on the barrel length, with the shortest version measuring approximately 1015 mm (40 inches) and the longest version measuring approximately 1170 mm (46 inches).

There are two terms found for similar thing: quick release scope mounts and quick detach scope mounts. Term quick release scope mounts is used mostly in Europe and quick detach scope mounts is used mainly in USA, although they mean the same thing. With these terms we describe a scope mount that can be quickly removed from the rifle in the field without using any tools and quickly attached back on the rifle when needed.

Main advantages:

  • possibility to use multiple scopes on the rifle,
  • easy transportation of the scope and the rifle separately,
  • if scope fails, it is possible to immediately detach it and use iron sights.

FIXED vs DETACHABLE scope mounts

Fixed scope mounts are mounted to the rifle with screws and sometimes even with glue. This means that it is impossible to attach or detach the scope mount using bare hands without using tools. It also means that they are not meant for constantly being attached on or detached off the rifle. Once you screw the mount on the rifle, it normally stays there for a longer period of use.

Detachable scope mounts offer possibility to attach or detach them without using any tools. This is extremely handy while transporting the rifle and the scope separately and it also offers multiple solutions of different optics on the same rifle. Detachable scope mounts can be attached or detached from the rifle in a matter of seconds, using bare hands.

DETACHABLE vs REPEATABLE scope mounts

It is important to know and understand expressions “detachable” and “repeatable” while talking about scope mounts. Term detachable scope mounts implies scope mounts that can be quickly attached or detached without using any tools. However, when you detach this kind of mount and attach it back on the rifle, it is recommended to zero the rifle before using it again. Procedure of detaching and again attaching the mount will probably need a sighting in before next shooting, because mount will not be secured on the rifle in the perfectly same position and conditions as it was before detaching it off the rifle.

On the contrary, repeatable scope mounts are most sophisticated mounts. These scope mounts are also detachable, however – they provide removing scope from the rifle and attaching it back again without zeroing the rifle every time. This means that they are made more precisely and that they are offering a possibility of using different optical sights / scope on the same rifle. These mounts are ideal for hunters who can use optical and iron sights interchangeably, depending on the needs in different situations. With the repeatable scope mounts, it is useful to keep them oiled as well as the upper part of the rifle, so that repeatability is more ensured. With a touch of oil, the repeatability might be better, because parts of the mount will always return to their previous locations.

Different types of repeatable scope mounts:

  • Pivot mounts,
  • Dentler mounts,
  • Picatinny repeatable mounts,
  • 12 mm dovetail repeatable mounts (for break barrel rifles, such as Steyr Duett, Blaser B750, Fair Combi, Fair SLX 800, Bettinsoli rifles, etc.),
  • Original repeatable mounts, made by manufacturers of rifles for their rifles (Blaser mount, Sauer SUM mount, Mauser M03 mount, Steyr Monoblock mount, etc.).

TIP OFF / ROLL OFF vs SLIDE ON mounts

Nowadays, there are a whole lot of different possibilities, made for attaching riflescopes on the rifles. There are also a lot of different expressions, having the same meaning. It is good to know that tip off and roll off mounts are basically the same thing. They represent quick release scope mounts for dovetails and rails which can be rolled or tipped off the rail vertically to the side of the rail. On the contrary, there are also slide on mounts available on the market. They represent quick release scope mounts that can be slided on or off the rail or dovetail from front or rear side of the rail / dovetail. All of these expressions are mainly used for separate rings that can be attached to the rails / dovetails. As far as functioning the rifle, it does not matter which one of these mounts you choose – tip / roll off or slide on mounts. If they are installed correctly, they are all going to work. However, the main difference between them is the principle of attaching them on rails on dovetails.
