Question about the semi-auto on the 8
 
1. how much does it costs to get semi-auto?
2. will it effect the hp of the 8 ?

Silver_Surfer 09-15-2006 01:59 AM

Depends on the caliber.

JY_Xiang 09-15-2006 02:04 AM

the automatic does have semi-auto mode where you can shift yourself. although it is lower in horsepower than the manual. the 04-05 more so than the 06. but still lower.

What's a semi-auto?

RX-8's come with 2 transmissions choices, 6 MT and Auto.

capable of automatic loading and firing continuously
ie..
1) Ruger Model 44 (44 Carbine)
This little gem tops my list because I used it almost exclusively as my deer hunting rifle for about two decades. Although this model is no longer being manufactured, I just had to include it because of my long and pleasant history with this rifle. With its handy carbine length and the hard-hitting 44 Rem Mag cartridge, this is an excellent gun for brush use at ranges out to 100 yards or so.

2) Remington Model 7400
Remington semi-autos are probably the most popular big game rifles of their kind. Long the most affordable auto deer rifle, they have held their ground through various Models such as the 74, 740, and 742. While I'm not a big fan of Remington autoloaders, a lot of hunters are, and they have taken a lot of game over the years. The Model 7400 is available in calibers from 243 through 30-06.
3) Browning BAR
Since its introduction in 1967, the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) has set the standard for autoloading centerfire hunting rifles. Known for excellent accuracy and dependability, the BAR also lives up to Browning's reputation for high quality and usability. For decades, it was the only commercial auto chambered for magnum cartridges. The BAR is available in calibers from 243 through 338 Win Mag.

4) Ruger Model 99/44 Deerfield
When Ruger discontinued the Model 44 in 1986, it left a vacuum in the rifle world. No rifle compared with the Model 44 Carbine as a fast, hard-hitting brush gun. Fourteen years later, Ruger again produced a semi-auto carbine in 44 Rem Mag, though of an entirely new design. Similar in looks and size, the action is different and not as scope-friendly, but it will hit 'em just as hard.

5) Benelli R1
New for 2003 (and not yet on the Benelli USA Web site, as of June 4) is the R1 semi-automatic rifle. Obviously it doesn't yet have a reputation of any kind, but Benelli is a respected name, well-known for their excellent autoloading shotguns. Initial reviews of this odd-looking rifle sound promising. The R1 is available in 30-06 and 300 Win Mag.

will it effect the hp of the 8 ?
In comparison to the manual, yes, by about 20(?) hp.
