    Doubt it Tobes, I believe Mauser and Sauer are under the same ownership as Blaser so they will probably never make a turnbolt as it would step into the market share of the other two.
    Same way that Tikka will never make a premium rifle again as that would encroach on Sako's territory.

    I agree with you though, they are awesome quality rifles but not to my taste either.
