Hey all. I’ve been a bit of a holdout when it comes to the various pump action/straight pull rifles that are on the market up here. But as of late I’ve been thinking about the Maverick, the larger of the two rifles that MRA offers. I just have a few questions for any folks who have experience with these, or the Renegade.
First off, being a straight pull bolt action rifle, could this generally be thought of as a more accurate rifle than a semi auto one? There’s far less going on when you pull the trigger.
Second, does anybody here have any experience with building a Maverick for precise long range shooting? Do they fair well?
I understand that as with anything else in life, there are compromises. I wouldn’t expect one of these to be a nail driver at 500 yards out of the box, but the AR style ergonomics are fairly familiar to me, I dont mind a traditional bolt action but I just like the black rifle look and the controls.
So, thirdly; do you find that the AR style ergonomics offset any potential lack of accuracy out to longer distances? Should i just go with a traditional bolt action for shots 500+ yards out? Or could i just expect to buy a good quality barrel and slap it on the Maverick and achieve fairly similar results?
That ended up being way more words than I thought it would be. Thanks again guys.
