New Savage Straight-Pull Bolt Rifles

I had never heard of straight-pull action before interesting, and those look sweet!

Give the Swiss Schmidt-Rubin rifles some research some time, even if it's only 5-10 minutes (there was a whole series of Schmidt-Rubin rifles, the K31 is the most widely discussed if you're looking for a search term).
The rifle is - aside from being one of the most accurate general-issue rifles of the period - one of the coolest military surplus rifles out there. There were others made with straight-pull actions, none that really achieved the success that the Swiss did in the design.
