    Blaser R8

    So the more perceptive members of the forum may have worked out that I bought one (Thanks @45SOUTH). It's pretty cool. Here's a short video overview + first range trip with it:

    Your saddle mount appears to tight or is it your sausage fingers fumbling with the latches?

    Ok, I know where you are now.
    I had to cut some trees that were across the track where I went in mahanapoo yesty.
    Used to be a few deer in there. Not just thieving wekas
    Pistol club? You join for the range or have you got your b cat? They are a different bunch up there😊

    I will sort you out a shoot out the farm when I am back next. Weather looks pretty average tomorrow.

    Both really. Haven't got the B at the moment but keep meaning to get it. Might be out of town too much with work + hunting to get it, may just stick to using the range

    Looks good, shoots near as well as a Sako and you don't have to carry as much ammo.

    Very nice rifle. Your films have a unique style, I like them.

    I was tempted to by Abe's Blaser.

    What load you running in the blaser? I'm almost ready to break in my new 6.5x55 barrel on my R93 & start load development with some 140gr Amax.
