In days gone by it was a simple thing to acquire a performance bolt-action rifle. You simply headed down to your local store (online or brick and mortar, your pick) and grabbed either a Longshot or a Longstrike. Nowadays, things aren't so simple. The Longshot re-release has its own problems and the Longstrike's indirect plunger system and general poor performance leaves it lacking in the Elite era.
The Retaliator is a solid platform, one that is versatile and customisable to boot but has a nasty over-hand priming action in its stock form. Well, I decided to fix that.
Miss your top rail? We at Blastersmiths UK feel that the Retaliator's top rail just gets in the way so we got rid of it. If you're pining for its return then we do offer split picatinny rails that can restore it. They will be offered as an additional option to the kit in matching colours. If you wanted a different colour for something a little more distinctive or striking, they can be ordered separately.
This kit will be on sale for £25 (inc VAT at 20% so £20.83 for US and other non-EU countries) from Friday 21st July 2015 on a 4 week lead time in our full, and growing, range of colours. A full fitting video and demonstration will be coming shortly.

Will you do it in white for the modulus version?
ReplyDeleteWe do indeed print in white so it will match up nicely to the Retaliator XD. Just select 'White' on the item listing page and we'll print it for you. It should be noted that this kit won't fit the Recon MkII because of a difference in slide sizes. We're working to get a kit that will and will list it separately in due course.
