Austrian Strasser is known for making state-of-the-art straight-pull bolt action hunting rifles. One drawback of purchasing rifles like those made by Strasser is that they have limited aftermarket support as most if not all parts are proprietary. Well, that’s not an issue anymore with the newly released Strasser RS 700 series of rifles that combine the company’s straight-pull action with a high level of compatibility with the ever-popular Remington 700 including the bedding footprint, recoil lugs, barrels, and triggers.
