@joshuagibson2520: I feel that, for many Canadians, we don’t care where you’re from-just that you aren’t an extremist. I think it’s pretty neat that a person in Tennessee is enjoying a firearm video made by a Canadian. You’ve picked a great Canadian citizen’s channel to watch, never a shortage of interesting videos from Mike. Here’s to Tennessee.🙂👍🏼👍🏼
He reminds me of my own dad even looks a little like him when he was in his 50's. My wife says slow and for her boring but for those of us in the know these fine tools deserve a slow methodical review.
@@martyadams3915 my ol lady says the same thing ha, I guess you’d just have to be interested in firearms. She could watch folks bake stuff all day and I’d say the same. The video creator is the best. Shows rifles you’d never seen anywhere else on UA-cam. I’ve bought 3 guns I became enamored by on his channel 😂
You are truly the Forgotten Weapons of sporting arms. The number of obscure oddball rifles you come up with and review is astounding. Very interesting stuff.
This rifle is what happens when Wurttembergischer Allgauer makes Bayerische Allgauer angry. Jakele was customizing Blaser R93 rifles and taking too much cut into selling results of newer Blaser R8. Blaser cuts supply of parts to Jakele and down the very same road but on Bayern side Jakele gets angry and comes up with his own rifle. In Herr Jakele's words If Blaser is Mercedes then my rifle is Maybach. It is on my dream list but omnipresent secondhand Sauer 202 and R93 comes at much more affordable prices.
2:32: Another reason to love this channel is Mike's comparison of the Jakele J1 to the Sabatti SKL-20 (known as the "Kipplauf"). Nobody else does this.
Thanks for all the straight pull content over the years. I have been looking for a .308 to add to my collection. The first straight pull that i was aware of was the savage impulse. Since watching these videos. The designs have helped me choose the rifle i am buying. The Berreta BR1 has the rotating lug design. Actually a AR action turned into a straight pull. The versatile handle and ejection side option took it over the top for my choice. With your reviews, i feel confident in my choice.
A great review Mike. Such a nice looking rifle with traditional walnut stock with modern day fast straight pull bolt with a brilliant design. Thanks for sharing! 🙏
You are correct, the design is extraordinary, and quite intriguing from an engineering viewpoint. I still remain uncertain whether I would favor the design over a traditional Mauser style with the full length claw extractor, but I was pleased to see your comprehensive review, (I have followed, and commented upon, your videos for some years. I was the M.D. who commented on your SDH. I have changed my "name" on You Tube.)
Thank you - glad you're here. The Mauser wins in all categories except for two : speed and safety. It'll be hard to make a gun more safe then the Jakele and yet still instantly ready to fire. The Mauser was not designed for ultimate bolt action manual speed - as you know - whereas the Jakele was. This is a remarkable achievement in firearms design. I like your new name. All the best.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns Thank you. You are correct that the Mauser is relatively slow, and that the Jakele is safer to use. A Mauser with the safety off can be very touchy, and the Jakele is not. It is also an amazing engineering concept.
Mike - you keep making me add things to my wish list. That is a fabulous rifle. P.S. there also is Saltech 7.62x51 NATO 150 grain M80 ammunition which is not too hot for an M1A (in addition to the hotter .308).
Hello and thank you! I'll look for the NATO rounds - I used to pull the bullets from the Swiss rounds and replace them with soft points of the same weight - which I can't remember - resulting in my best hunting round.
Machine gun ammunition in 7.62x51 is loaded hotter than standard ball ammunition, partly because the 7.62x51 has a shorter effective range than-in approximate ascending order-the .30-06, .303 Mk VII, 7.62x54R, 303 Mk VIII which was developed as an answer to the German 7.92x57sS load; and of course, the 7.92x57sS 198grain boat-tail load, introduced in late WWI. The sS round superseded the 7.92x57IS round as the German military standard in 1934. N.B. The British Expeditionary Force in the Falklands was significantly disadvantaged by the shorter range of the ill-conceived-from a military standpoint-7.62x51 round. The U.S. experimental .338 machine gun cartridge, is, effectively, an attempt to replicate 7.92x57sS performance. Logic would suggest that adoption of the 7.92x57sS round would make more sense for NATO, given that any MG3 can be converted to use that round.
@ Too much barrel wear with high velocity, even today. Also, after WWI, the Japanese adopted the .303 British round as the 7.7mm Japanese round, Yugoslavia converted from the Serbian 7x57 to the 7.92x57IS, Italy adopted a larger round and Sweden adopted the 8x63 machine gun round-obviously inspired by Brenneke’s prewar military prototype 8x64S round, because: a larger diameter bullet allows more room for tracer compound, thereby increasing burn time and making it easier to direct other weapons onto a target. Longer range, reduced barrel wear and a greater interval before tracer burnout are positive reasons for use of full size military cartridges with approximate 8mm projectile diameter in general purpose machine guns.
No difference between 7,62x51 and 7,92x57. You can easily launch 200 grn bullet from 20-inch barreled 7,62x51 at 750 m/c,yielding similar energy and ballistics with 198 grn sS bullet at 760 m/c from 23,5 inch barrel.Different loads make difference. 338 Norma Magnum is by far superior.
@александрбова-з9г Barrel life and pressure levels are critical factors. A barrel life of several thousand rounds OR possibly less than a thousand rounds is unacceptable for a general purpose machine gun.
Wow! Just wow! That is a very impressive rifle. Can i shoot it now lol. Seriously the lines are great the safety concept is great and usually thumbhole stocks interrupt the bueaty of a fine rifle but this one seems to be able to handle it. Good vid!
What an interesting rifle. Sleek in appearance and futuristic style. Not sure how it would be accepted in deer camp in northeast Wisconsin. 😊 Great video.
I am with you Mike; I defiantly prefer the turn bolt to some of the other straight pull actions. Balls and springs in the bolt just does not install confidents in strength or durability.
And in my FN T-bolt, it are just 2 side lugs that prevent the bolt flying backwards in my face. Still perfect after > 40 years😊. The lugs, not my face 😅
The Blaser group makes their own barrels in house by hammer forging. I suspect they would not supply barrels to a direct competitor. Whoever is making their barrels, based on the demonstrated accuracy they are very high quality.
@@andymauthe5508 Well, the profile, crown, and scope mounts look exactly like Blaser. The only difference is who the bolt locks into the barrel (as far as I can tell). They probably charge a hefty premium to supply the barrels.
Usually I'm not crazy about thumbhole stocks but that one looks more elegant than most to my welding arc flashed eyeballs. Also I think I;d want more than a two round magazine if Mr. Grizzly Bear is charging me.
Great video as usual! A beautiful rifle and I can tell that you’re impressed with it so that speaks volumes. Looks very intuitive and well made. How did you get one in Canada? Did you have to import through Krico directly? Please try to obtain an Anschutz 1782 and review it. I have one and would value your opinion.
Thank you - Good idea - I'll find an Anschutz 1782. For the rifle - I bought from a friend. There's likely a distributor; although these are quite specialized. Thank you for your kind words.
Hello - yes I handled an early model - very well made and sort of a massive variant of the Browning T Bolt. They would sell here; although there seemed to be some concern about trying to enter our market. The range where you shoot your Savage 219 is quite nice - fine rifle as well. All the best.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns Good to know. Thank you for your kind words about my savage 219 shooting. Not nearly as a refined rifle as I would like, not smooth on the opening, has an auto safety and auto eject, which I am not a fan of. I would love an older made German single shot stalking rifle or a Winchester low wall instead. but first I need to finish my Mauser project. I want to have this blend of military and classic hunting rifle. So I want to put a replica ww2 classic high turret mount and 6x scope on Mauser k98 but then add a Rigby style stock. I think it would make a beautiful blend of both.
I build custom electric guitars and I tinker around with rifles a bit. I can tell you that the two crafts are almost identical in terms of mechanics and woodcraft. If that rifle were a guitar it would be a world class masterpiece and worth 10-20 factory made units.
That's really interesting - the stringed instruments can be incredible. I used to follow the best luthiers; but I don't know much. You must have many skills - good for you! You're right about the Jakele : fantastic.
Hello and thanks for asking - Winchester Model 70 pre-64 or a Mauser 98 Sporter - either has it all for hunting purposes - and most other purposes as well IMHO All the best to you in California.
(Third try at posting a comment, now without links... ) These have tried to embed their bolts in the forehead of the users at least twice this year (just recently in Austria, earlier this year in Norway). I'd avoid shooting it.
Thank you. So far so good for mine. Bolt locking is about the same as a Mauser. When I started my channel I thought guns wouldn't blow up often. In the meantime I've lost count of the numbers and, types and manufacturers that I've learned about; who knows what goes on our there but guns are wrecked every day in numbers. Not good. All the best.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns I wish I had more information on what actually happened. Perhaps some sort of out of battery ignition? Lots of speculation here in the EU but, as usual, not much in the way of facts. Stay safe and keep on making the great content you make!
Its a very pretty rifle and im a big fan of straight pull rifles but that being said the fact that it doae not cock the rifle when you run the action is an instant turn off for me personally. Also the 2rd mag is a nope the more rounds in grizzly country the better
Being a bit of a curmudgeon I am not a big fan of European cars or rifles. That being said if I run across one of these in let's say 6.5 Swede or something similar, I will write a check on the spot.
I was looking at the J1 last year. Nice light weight and short. I did not like the cocking and the old shotgun type hammer. Too long lock time and strane grip feeling compared to a R8
I would respectfully disagree. I want a one motion action with it ready to go. Not all would need that but those of us who are in Brown Bear country can understand the need for expediency on rare occasions but very critical ones. The muscle memory from handling a variety of bolt actions is transferable while this is a one off. It adds one more muscle motion with another finger to the brew. Beyond that I am a traditionalist and suspicious of new products until they have been proven in the market place for several years. Nice to take a look at though and I thank you for that.
Excellent post. I think a lot of people would agree with you - especially in North America. On the other hand, even here, many people would like the safety of the Jakele. One of the finest rifles for non-dangerous game. Thanks for the note and have a great hunting season!
How so? The R8, a nice rifle, but it has a completely different bolt and lockup system. If anything this Rifle is similar to a BRX1 from Beretta. As so the safety, both are striker fired style rifles. One uses a slide switch the other a lever to cock the rifle.
@@EdQ76 No this is very simular to the R8. The R8 does not rotate and just spreads the pedals into the barrel. This rifle rotates larger and fewer pedals into the barrel. They both lock into the barrel , different but simular.They both mount the scope to the barrel. I bet the barrel attaches to the receiver similarly with two bolts. The R8 safety is vastly superior.

It's got so many safety features that it almost seems designed not to shoot it.

Hi Mike - if you could own one (1) hunting rifle chambered in 30-06 what would the make/model be?

Can you pull the trigger only,after cocking it or trigger and level works simultaneously?.
You have to hold the lever back as you pull the trigger. If you release the lever you can't fire.

I realize the front of the bolt turns and locks in...but isnt that a straight pull, like a canadian Ross ?
It is a straight pull rifle and manner of lock reminds me of Swiss K 11 / 31
I was looking at the J1 last year. Nice light weight and short. I did not like the cocking and the old shotgun type hammer. Too long lock time and strane grip feeling compared to a R8

Reminiscent of an hk p7 handgun.
Someone needs to manufacture that one again
Hi; the name of the rifle is the same as the name of one of my Finnish colleagues...where is it actually made?
Bayern part of Allgau district in Germany. Jakele Waffen.
I would respectfully disagree. I want a one motion action with it ready to go. Not all would need that but those of us who are in Brown Bear country can understand the need for expediency on rare occasions but very critical ones. The muscle memory from handling a variety of bolt actions is transferable while this is a one off. It adds one more muscle motion with another finger to the brew.

Thank you - you're right - amazing... but they are expensive.

This company makes a pump action rifle that is probably the coolest rifle ever made in a pump. This single shot thing is not great.
Single shot?? It has a magazine.
3 round capacity 2+ 1 = Deer.
You were confused by the lever, which is in fact a safety release. It is a 2+1 rifle. Just watch until the shooting at the end😊
Blaser R8 clone, the Blazer safety is far superior…….
😅 This rifle is direct product of feud between Blaser and Jakele.
How so? The R8, a nice rifle, but it has a completely different bolt and lockup system.
