shekaree Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I have about $2400 cabelas points or store credits and I am thinking to buy R1 in 300 win mag. I am also moving to Canada for good and would like to know if there is a chance of jamming of R1 in cold weather of Canada.

tucker301 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Although I'm no expert in extreme cold weather hunting, I can give general testimony to the R1's reliability. I've used mine at 15 degrees F with no problems. As with any firearm, success in cold weather is all about being prepared for the conditions. The fun should be clean and lightly lubed with a fine quality lubricant that will not gel in extreme cold. Care also should be taken in moving the gun from warm to cold and back to warm, as condensation can accumulate on internal parts and then freeze. I'd take my R1 to the frozen north without hesitation, and I'd be confident that it would perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
