Strasser RS 14 Evolution

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).

General features of Mono-block Scope Mounts

All of the mono-block scope mounts have in common that both scope rings are made of one piece of material. Making a whole mount of one piece of raw material is usually possible by milling. These mounts are normally made for tactical applications, because they can be used in the toughest conditions. They are normally made out of one piece of hiqh quality aluminium alloy (like 7075T6), because steel might be too heavy for such applications. Steel is normally used only with the screws or claws that hold scope mount onto the Picatinny rail. However, there are some manufacturers which make nice mono-block mounts for hunting applications also (Spuhr, ERA-TAC Ultralight, etc.).

This type of mounts is suitable for use on Picatinny rails. Although, there are other rail standards that are known as common practice: 11 mm (AI), 16.5 mm (Tikka, Sako TRG), 19 mm (CZ 550)... They can be quick detachable or fixed (however, most of them are fixed).

Mono-block mounts for tactical rifles

Mono-block mounts for tactical rifles might be nearly perfect to use and main reasons for that can be found in:

  • rigidness,

  • hardness,

  • durability,

  • reliability and

  • precision.

They offer perfect ring alignment which is the key to not damaging or flexing your scope. Large contact surface between the scope and the mount might also be a favourable factor. Lapping during the process of mounting the scope is not needed. In addition, bedding is also not needed. All of the text above is true if we are talking about mounts of proper quality.

On the other hand, you have to be prepared for a (usually) bulky appearance and less adjustable length for proper eye relief.

 

Other Features of Mono-block Scope Mounts

Tactical mono-block scope mounts, made of high quality, normally have more than just one recoil stopper.

Some of the manufacturers (like Spuhr) advise their customers to oil surfaces between their mount and Picatinny rail before the mounting of them. They also advise to use resin between rings and rifle scope.

A lot of mono-block mounts offer additional attachment points on their rings. These attachment points are normally used for red-dots, lasers, rangefinders, angle indicators, etc. Bubble levels are also common on these mounts (on the rear side of the mount – Tier One, Spuhr,...). These bubble levels are aligned with the Picatinny rail under them.

Practically all of tactical mono-block mounts use 6 – 8 screws for tightening the scope. It is very rare for such mounts to use only 4 screws. With tactical mounts, rings are normally divided 50:50 (upper and lower part of the ring, tightened with screws), which is different than with other, for example hunting mounts, where rings are divided in different ratio – for example 60:40 (upper / lower part of the ring). In this case, upper part is bigger than the lower part, which in practice means that scope is embraced by the upper part of the ring a little bit more.

Tactical mono-block mounts are the most common mount form with inclination. If mounts are made with inclination, it is usually:

  • 10 MOA,
  • 20 MOA or
  • 30 MOA.

These type of mounts are great for long range shooting, because they offer a whole new possibilities for long range shooters. Majority of the mono-block mounts with inclination, is 20 MOA. However, there are mounts up to 70 MOA on the market (for example: Era-Tac from Recknagel).
