Strasser Straight Pull Rifle RS 14 Evolution Standard 243 Winchester 22" Thread Barrel Grade 1 European Walnut Stock
3+1 Rounds also available an optional 5 round extended magazine.
The STRASSER RS 14 EVOLUTION Standard comes in wood class 1, flanked by black side plates with the lettering “RS 14 EVOLUTION” and the boxlock action model in black with a fixed barrel. Unlike the STRASSER RS SOLO EVOLUTION, the caliber can be changed! The integrated Picatinny rail the system becomes even more flexible when attaching scopes, regardless of their size and weight. In addition, this integral design improves the casing and thus optimizes the vibration characteristics of the barrel. Furthermore, the parts of the approved RS trigger are equipped with “DIAMOND-LIKE CARBON” DLC-coating, which is particularly resilient and very low in friction. This further improves the trigger characteristics and makes the gun the top performer in its class. While some European rifle makers think you should pay extra for a walnut stock and scope mounting system, we think you deserve them as standard.
There are plenty of rifles that lay claim to excellence, but once you handle the RS14 Evolution, you’ll know why it’s the only hunting rifle you’ll ever need. Strasser rifles are built in Austria, and embody the very best of old-world craftsmanship, teamed with cutting-edge engineering.
Our straight pull bolt is faster and stronger than any conventional rifle, while its removable trigger pack is adjustable by the user without any tools. Everything you need to change calibers is on board the gun—barrels can be exchanged in less than two minutes, and will return to zero.
The Strasser Walnut stocks have a fine oil finish which is far superior to any other type of finish, since scratched, dings or dents in a oil finished stock usually can be repaired using True Oil. Since no stain is used on natural Strasser walnut stocks, if gouges needs to be sanded, you can simply work on that small area and apply the True oil in the one spot, for dents, they usually can be raised with a damp face cloth placed over the dent and using a clothes stream iron applied to the dent will usually raise the dent, for scratches, normally 0000 steel wool will remove them and then a light coat of True oil over them will bring the stock back to new condition. This repair process only works on oil finish stocks.

Introduced in 1955, the 243 Winchester is based on the 308 Winchester case necked down. It was the first commercial cartridge added to the "308 family," with a 2.045-inch case designed to fit into Winchester's Model 88 lever action and short bolt actions. Winchester saw it as a combination "varmint and big-game" round, with an 80-grain varmint bullet at 3550 feet per second and a 100-grain deer bullet at 2960. Apparently the public saw it the same way; the 243 Winchester is the world's most popular 6mm cartridge, with current loadings running from a 55-grain varmint load at nearly 4000 fps to 108 grains. 6mm bullets hold up better in wind than smaller calibers, so the 243 remains a favorite for long-range varminting. With heavier bullets it is very effective on deer-sized game. Its attributes are accuracy, light recoil, and deadly effect; it is a standard choice for beginning hunters. Because of its popularity factory loads are legion, and most rifle manufacturers offer it.
