Strasser Straight Pull Rifle RS 14 Evolution CONSUL III 30-06 22" Thread Barrel Grade 5 European Walnut Stock and Forend
3+1 Rounds also available an optional 5 round extended magazine.
The STRASSER RS 14 EVOLUTION CONSUL III comes in Grade 5 European Walnut Stock and Forend, flanked by black side plates with Gold lettering “RS 14 EVOLUTION” , Titanium Nitride Coated Trigger and Bolt head and the boxlock action model in black with a interchangeable barrel. 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.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
Properly "Caliber 30 Model of 1906," the 30-06 was developed at Springfield Armory for the 1903 Springfield rifle. The original 1903 cartridge, though very similar, used a round-nosed 220-grain bullet; the 1906 version used a 150-grain spitzer bullet with a slightly shorter case neck and case length of 2.494-inches. The 30-06, in Springfield, 1917 Enfield, and M1 Garand rifles, remained America's service cartridge through the Korean War. It was the most powerful cartridge ever adopted by a major military, and over time became America's most popular hunting cartridge. Today there are many good choices, but the 30-06 remains extremely popular throughout the world, suited for most North American big game and equally effective for African plains game. The most common standard loads today feature: 150-grain bullet at 2910 feet per second; 165-grain bullet at 2800 fps; and 180-grain bullet at 2700 fps. Choices in both rifles and ammunition are almost limitless.
