Strasser Straight Pull Rifle RS 14 Evolution CONSUL III 270 Winchester 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 270 Winchester was introduced in 1925 in the Winchester Model 54 bolt-action, forerunner to the Model 70. Based on the 30-06 case necked down, it was the first production cartridge to use a .277-inch bullet. Why this bullet diameter was chosen is not clear. The intent, however, was to create a cartridge that shot flatter than the 30-06 and produced less recoil. This effort was so successful that the 270 Winchester remains the world's most popular 270 cartridge...and since 1925 only three other commercial cartridges have used this bullet diameter. With a 130-grain bullet at 3060 feet per second and a 150-grain bullet at 2950 the 270 is powerful and flat shooting. It is adequate for game up to elk, ideal for virtually all American deer hunting, and, as it's long-time champion, gunwriter Jack O'Connor, so often wrote, it is a marvelous choice for mountain hunting. It is a standard chambering for almost all rifle makers, and choices in factory loads run into the many dozens.
