Troy PAR

All the PAR's are pump, and all the SAR's are straight pull.... :)

Yeah, I went to the site and see that now. Had no idea - thought all Troy made was that PAR. My bad in missing key details.

I better check all my recent gun purchases to confirm what I actually bought. Not so sure anymore.

This is from the guy who 10 years ago bought a Sub2000, assumed it was 9mm, bought about 53 boxes of 9mm ammo, only to realize when I actually was able to shoot the thing (a year later) that I bought it in .40S&W. Oops.

It's a pretty easy thing to overlook.
The SAR never got much attention when it came out, it's a simpler design then the pump, not much to go wrong.
 
My buddy was using a Troy PAR last weekend at a 2 Gun event, I was very impressed with it. Might actually have to start looking for one also. OP, if I see anything I will let you know đź‘Ť

Those are my thoughts as well.

I own the Troy and Renegade as potential bad times rifles and while the Troy is faster it has the potential weak point of the steel rod pump breaking leaving the rifle useless. Not likely that a manual activated spring is going to malfunction on a straight pull.

I had the rod break on a brand new .308 PAR after about 30 rounds. Had to wait a year for the part, and then sold it immediately at a significant loss. I replaced it with an MRA Maverick and have no regrets.

I've read it was more of an issue than it should be on older generation rifles.

I have a 223 with about 1500 rounds through and a 308 with about 100, no issues so far but I'm conscious of it.

When did you buy your 308?

I bought mine at FOC beginning of last year, it did look a bit “stale” when I got it and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a demo model or old stock.
