Here's a few pics of the Competitor .308W I recently picked up. When waiting for the Comp to arrive I scoured the web for pics and could not find anything good.....so here's a few I snapped.
And here is Ian shooting it at 300yds.....

The cannon breach is kind of a neat. The action length is around 2" compaired to a bolt action of 5~6". That really shortens the over all length of the gun.
I like my Lone Eagle with the breech. Sometimes though when you eject shells they go flying. I like the lenght of it very much. Hey Dan does yours try to twist? Mine did until I put Hollands break on.

No twist...just a straight back and slightly upward recoil. I may have a Ross brake installed since the barrel is already threaded. But I plan on loading either 125-130 or 150gr bullets so recoil is fine and may just stick on the cap.

My Competitor in 376 Steyr doesn't twist either, nor do any of my other Competitors. In fact the 376 doesn't kick as bad as my 50 AE encore did. Love the pics! Competitors ROCK!
