KS Arms SA3R single shot feedback

Bustercluck

I was talking to Mike and they have some 2 and 3 lug single shot actions coming up soon. Given the chance to do it over again would you get the two or three lug?

For the ejector delete that they mention on their website it’s the same as yours they just don’t install the plunger.

No regrets with the 2 -lug.

For me I just couldn’t build a case to buy their three lug. When I bought mine there was a bigger price gap between the two, but they’re only $100 apart now. I haven’t scoured the internet looking for answers but my brain thinks there shouldn’t be a difference in accuracy between the two and that’s the ultimate goal. The only argument comes down to short and heavier bolt throw, or a longer softer bolt throw. It takes the same amount of work to compress the spring, so maybe a slight advantage in the two lug if you’re trying to not rock your setup around? Maybe…

The only people I’ve heard complain about two lugs are the older defiance actions where the bolt was close to the optic and that was mostly hunting guys who were wearing gloves or had cold hands.

I raise my glass to you! It's absolutely true -- if we want top quality products available in this country, we have to support those who try to make them. And we really do have some fantastic manufacturers in business here -- KS Arms, PGWDTI, ATRS, and so on. IBI making quality barrels here is another game changer. And when it comes to custom hunting rifle builders, we already have one of the global top 5 (in my opinion) in Ralf Martini. No one get to that level without starting lower on the ladder and learning their craft over time. And no one gets the chance to learn without the support of customers who want them to succeed. We get what we pay for.

I believe Rolf Martini has or is moved back to Germany to work for Hartmann and Weiss

I didn't see that one coming! :) But yes, it seems that it's true.

I wish I had managed to stop in and say hi before he left. He was always a joy to speak with. Somehow, I just thought he'd be at his place in Cranbrook forever.

The Canadian custom rifle scene has lost a legend. But I do hope he's happy with the change.
