1 5/8 pound trigger is fine, so forget me asking about a 2 1/4.

And the R8 is also available without the detachable magazine. The other advantage of these rifles seems to be their inherent accuracy — which i suspect has a lot to do with the straight pull action. No twisting action as the round is chambered has to be a good thing. I hope we will see some other manufacturers explore the benefits of doing away with the turn bolt.

The length advantage is not unique to an R8. The action of the older r93, without the dubious magazine apparatus, is no longer.
