Haha yeah your eye was relieved of some flesh.

Funny thing. The other day I went to a club shoot with the 7-08 R93. On the mound went to get into it with rifle to shoulder and fuck me, the ocular was totally coated in blood. Must have gotten onto it when I went for a jap with Rangi @R93. Two clicks of the saddle and off with the scope a quick rinse via a pump bottle, slap it back on and shoot. Must have taken all of 10 seconds. Not one concern as I know the Blaser system is rock solid. I shot pretty well too (for a change).

Speaking of mounts do you guys run saddle mount with Blaser rings or blaser to weaver rail saddle mount with different rings?

Saddles only. No need yet for another. Plenty of E left with standard and Im starting to very much dislike rails.

Yep, just the saddle mounts, they are fine. The Bulgarian copy I got on eBay is even better, quite a nicely made unit.

Yup ring spacing is better and the mount is lighter as well on the aftermarket ones.
No need to lap the rings and due to design never in 15 years of using a blaser saddle mount have I had to re-zero.

Thanks, an Auckland forum member has contacted me so should get a look at the R8 in a week or too.
But if I hold out a few weeks I'll might just be able to borrow one off Nibblet at the rate he talking himself into one

Had a good play with one at the Sika show yesterday.......awesomeness right there, going back today..... Some Sakos in the safe are due for the heave-ho I reckon.
