Leupold Mk4 4.5>14x40 with the enclosed target turrets.
But being Blaser saddle mounts I sometimes change it over to a XV3i 2.5>8 when I want it to be even lighter and more compact

I have 4 blaser rifles, 7 barrels, 7 saddle mount sets and have Leupold, nightforce and zeiss scopes in them.
They are all do whats expected of them.

I don't have the Blaser's because they are made in Germany.
I have them because they are ideal for what I want to do with them.

I hardly ever look through the scopes. Maybe for 10 seconds would be total scope time on a long hunt.
But I spend countless hours looking through my Swarovski ELs and ATX 65 spotting scope.

Thought I had a Blaser problem😆

I would like a K95 one day but I honestly couldn't find a use for another R93 or R8.
I will just keep adding barrels😆

I have 2 carriers and 4 bolt heads with 2 spare. 4 scopes and 4 saddle mounts.

Nothing wrong with a loopy on a blaser either special Jimmy.
I actually use my little 2-7 fire dot the most. Think it is classed as a shotgun scope? Great bit of kit.
Can't find another scope as light and reliable in the same size without breaking the bank. Cost me under 400 oz 😆

I do like that little fire dot of yours. VX-R IIRC?

A K95 would be a sweet addition to the safe too. Buy one Dave and long term loan it to me. I'll teach it how to hunt for ya!

Yeah your right it is a VX-R 2-7×

No worries on the K95 I have a couple kids I wanna sell. That should cover the varnish on the wood. Keep an eye out for the courier😆

You probably could teach it better than me. I have only shot around a dozen deer in the last year. Weather and work has put a damper on getting out for myself as much as I normally do.

I will let you take me and Marcus out for a sika in September. He will be up the same time as me visiting outlaws in Napier.

Cool. Looking forward. Great month to go Sika hunting too, not.

I just don't rate them,they are not a particularly expensive Rifle in Europe either.

They look nice and are fairly well made but none of it adds up to the price they charge for them.They are a "snappy " quick handling Rifle that just dies in your hands the moment you put an optic on it.

For the New Zealand retail price you can get a used Heym Double Rifle or a really tidy Farquharson falling block that is a hand made master piece.

I get to shoot alot of higher end Arms over here and would place the K95 well done the desirability list.You can buy hand made second hand single shots in Germany for a fraction of the price if you can tolerate reloading some more obscure calibers.

@norsk - that's a little unkind, not really good form to comment negatively on another mans purchase, even if what you say may have an element of truth from your perspective.

Philip C. Bolger remarked about a yacht design he produced - "for somebody who doesn't have the price of a Rubens original, there may be some merit in a Playboy centerfold" but even this is not quite right in respect to the wonderful functionality of the K95, especially in our very robust NZ environment where some of the fancy euro firearms don't fare too well.

That's all very well for you in Europe, but there aren't a lot of Heym Double's and Farquharson's on the second hand market in NZ.
If there were I would have one of each please.
Make the Heym an 8x57IRS with reasonably short barrels and the Farquharson would be nice in 450-400 nitro.

And as to the NZ price that's got a lot to do with the "end of the earth" syndrome and the small market, that our local distributors use to mark things up so heavily.
The last rifle I got in from Europe was such a huge effort in costs and paperwork that its out of the question now.

I apologise if I have come over in an abrasive manner,I did not intend to do so.All that matters is that you are happy with the Rifle and nothing else.I made the mistake of not reading all the posts and was unaware you had purchased a K-95.My advice was ment as just that,not a criticism of your purchase.

The price you pay in New Zealand is a symptom of the importer,retail price in most European countries is much the same.If you buy for export you can deduct the value added tax in the country of purchase.

Export paperwork is a detail much easier to handle in the Country of expedition,it can be as easy as one form and a couple of weeks or a three month wait.The cost of freight depends on the freight method and carrier.I have been shipping machinery world wide for nearly 20 years and have enjoyed some screaming deals on freight depending on who you talk to and how much they need your business.

I wish you all the best with your Rifle and should you require some help with a firearm purchase from Europe in the future I will only be to happy to help.

Put up some links to interesting second hand firearms web sites you like to look at in Europe please.
It would be nice to see what we are missing out on.

Cheers
