Thread 64085815

I have been looking at the SIG Sauer 200 STR. I want to hunt deer

>What kind of hunting rifle reloads the fastest
Browning BAR.

>>64085815 (OP)
An autoloading one

>>64085815 (OP)
>What kind of hunting rifle reloads the fastest
The kind that re-loads itself.

>>64085815 (OP)
Hey i'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but i've only just started getting into this

>>64085815 (OP)
That is a match target rifle, not something that is practical for hunting. It's going to be very heavy, have lots of finicky little adjustments and features that do not play well with being out in the woods & getting dirty, and the sights are less than ideal.
Get something lighter with a scope. Reload speed isn't really important.

LMG, you need more?

>>64085996
A LMG would be significantly faster at reloading itself than a K31.

Practically no off the shelf hunting ammo for it

>>64086035
S&B makes and sells it, it's about $1/round though but it's very good ammo.

>>64085815 (OP)
If you ever think you need a follow up shot, it's not an ethical shot.

>>64085990
I also want to try shooting ranges, shooting sports or what it's called. I was thinking that the 200 STR would be perfect for this, maybe also hunting.

Sometimes they just don't realize they're dead
My friend was out hunting moose with family and one managed to swim back and forth over a small river even though the first shot was to prove lethal

>>64086152
CNS hits are instant. Shots that cause death by blood loss can take varying amounts of time to be lethal. Sometimes it's very quick. Sometimes it takes many seconds or even minutes if the shot is not very good, during which time the game might run a considerable distance.

>>64086127
It's a great rifle for target shooting. But, if you want to do that I suggest you check out your competition scene and see what you want to do. Different organizations have different rules and also different guns are preferable for different styles of competition so make sure that is legal/appropriate for what you want to do first.

>>64086116
found the retard

>>64085996
Swiss straight pulls are hardly faster than normal bolt actions. Get a dedicated modern hunting straight pull if you really don't want a semi-auto.

>>64086709
You won't find a modern gun at a similar price point and with similar quality.
The K-31 is basically perfect.

>Me want shoot deer
>Choses some literal who eurostani rifle
Just get an 11.5 PSA AR???

>>64085815 (OP)
that's a target rifle, not a hunting rifle
>how do you know
target style vertical pistol grip
target style rear peep with a globe front sight
looks like a hand rest and a sling swivel only on the front and not on the rear because it's for shooting prone with a sling on

the thing you picked is a target rifle and not a hunting rifle and most people don't care about fast follow up shots for rifle hunting. like even historically guns with faster follow up shots never displaced single shot, lever action and bolt action rifles because a quick follow up shot isn't a big deal. it is a big deal for shooting birds, so faster cycling actions like pump actions, double barrels and semi autos were very popular for shotguns

OK, thank you for your answers to my question. Next, do any hunting rifles do burning or poison damage? I feel like for hunting, if I’m only expected to get one shot off, some kind of damage over time effect would be optimal. Is that an ammunition thing instead? Or is it something the barrel transfers to the bullet?

>>64086958
but you don't even own a k31 and you dont know anything about hunting rifles. metallurgy and barrel quality has vastly improved in the last 50 years, an off-the-shelf ruger american is going to shoot 1moa with good ammo.

also K31 triggers suck ass.

OP everyone is giving you shit because they don't know shit.
The one you posted is probably the fastest bolt action out there, and you're going to be fine using it for hunting too because it's a great firearm.
They use these specifically for a form of race shooting called "Stangskyting" in Norway, you should Google that to see vids.

You can get it in 6.5 Swede which is what I'd do, and you'd be good out to just about any range you'd want to shoot at.
If you can find one to buy at a reasonable price go for it.

>>64088216
this. the k31 is allegedly very accurate for a service rifle of the time period it was made but most modern el cheapo bolt guns are like 2moa at the worst

>>64085815 (OP)
>>64088643
OP here is a great example of how fast that specific rifle can be: https://youtu.be/WzsJS9g9w94

>>64088216
I think the K31 would make a decent hunting rifle but I'd get it done up in .308

>>64089674
isn't it in something swiss that's basically .308 anyway?
>>64089154
very few styles of rifle hunting in north America need to be that fast, if they did semi auto hunting rifles would have been more popular historically
