The save brads a headache thread.
Better place to discuss blaser stuff.
Who's going to buy mine? I only have one scope so something has to go
Why have these gone from the best thing since sliced bread to for sale in no time?
Sort of reminds me of March scopes actually.
So who can tell me the difference between the R93 and R8, please?
Do Blousers come with a Latte ?, Tikkas do, especially in .270 (they get 2!)Quote:

When I get mine cam I'll let you have a play on it. I figure I need to have a taste of all flavors
Buy brads one and I'm sure he will throw in a voucher or twoQuote:

And what about LR?

I must admit that i have currently "misplaced" a tikka magazine :ORLY:
I don't think you could forget a great deal if you had the nice box also, just as likely to forget the scope or barrel. I think what would be worse is taking the wrong barrel and the wrong ammo.
How rushed a these people when they sorting out their gear????Quote:

So why all these R8s for sale so soon after the owners were singing their praises? Is it just the owners following fashion without thinking about what they actually need want? As I said It reminds me of the march scopes everyone had to have and defended against any criticism but then sold and then a year or so later slowly admitted they were crap.
No published weights, handled one prior to buying and it felt good, different story on the scales when I'm looking to have lightweight kit all around for alpine hunting, fuck it shoots wellQuote:

You will never see my blaser for sale, ever.
Brads and gimp are the only people I know selling.
Brads has bought another blaser that suits his needs better.
Gimp is apparently just a sook and has bad taste anyway😆
So where are all these other R8s for sale?

As good as the design may be from a repeatability point of view that would be a utter fluke if zero on two different barrels was the same on one scope.... extreamly unlikely.Quote:

If the scope was mounted to an action as many other switch barrels are then quick release scopes make perfect sense as you need to replace the scope for the zero of each barrel or have the poi shift written down or use a scope like on the Sako quad with separate zeros built into the scope for each barrel.
LRs? one,didnt Abe sell one too?
Just seems odd to me to drop 10? grand on something to buy another the same? a few months later
You have probably seen more bush in the last month than anyone on here has seen all year.Quote:

what made you go finnlight over the likes of kimber or forbes? Finnlights aren't actually that light.Quote:

Handy if you travel a lot or go through nasty areas you don't want to fuck your gear in?
I don't like pretty much every single thing about Kimbers or Forbes, whereas I like pretty much everything about Sakos.Quote:

Didn't know LR had one and Abe still has a couple blasers as of last night's discussion with him about parts.Quote:

I personally would not buy an R8 unless it was to be a platform for a static F class rifle.
Blaser will lighten them up eventually.
My only issue with them.

I had the scopes off brads barrels a few times, the poi never changed at 1000yrds

I must be the exception to the rule cos I have an R8 and 2 March scopes and I really love them. Admittedly they are the newer 52mm obj versions of the March and not the 42mm obj ones which, to be honest, were terrible.Quote:

I think blasers are a great idea and if they had a lighter weight
Carbon stocked version then I would have one no questions asked,
But until then I will keep my LRM. I don't see any issue with changing
Guns :ORLY: it's all about what you want or think you need
At the time ae @BRADS :thumbsup:
Dirty dog! Well done. She got any good hunting pozzys at home😆Quote:

So can anybody tell me what it is that makes it so much better with whatever brads and LR are replacing their R8s with?
