Have always wondered what the attraction with Blasers was, nobody gave me a definitive answer when I tried to find out, finally got to handle, have a fiddle and shoot one today, a nice carbon stocked R93 in 6.5 Swede, now I'm looking at my rifles thinking about what I can shift to go in the kitty to get one, that bolt action is addictive, I think I could have played with the bolt all afternoon!
So who's got a cheap R93 they want to part with, cough cough..........
There was a couple on here people were struggling to move on dunno if they have sold yet?

Maybe guys are moving back with there wife's.
A few years back Blasers marketing department decided to focus on gay hunters, it was a master stroke and has paid big dividends for the brand.

Just the barrel and bolt head, don't know how hard it would be to get the rest, I imagine that Stager would attempt to violate my wallet severely buying parts like a stock, the carrier and ringmount ectQuote:

Accurate as all my Tikkas Kimbers, Sakos STIs for sure so there you go . Oh I do have some 34 mm rings if someone needs them
The Blaser product is awesome having the sales $$ invested in a sheepshagger flat deck HiLux to give shit to is awesomer
If $ were no object would I go there again no cos that wasn't why I moved on
Back to basics and focus on shooting heaps from what you have kinda like hot rodding and run what you brung
And yet you took the baitQuote:

I think there main advantage is for European hunters who are only allowed to own a small number of rifles. The barrels are not counted as different rifles so they can shoot a number of different calibres without a problem.
There I was thinking you were describing AR owners :ORLY:Quote:

Otherwise its 5 different cals, but all tikkas if you want the same feel. And then, well your safe is full of tikkas?
Still the best thing for me is the scope mounts, red dot for warming/in vehicle
Pm2 for the longer stuff
No rezeroing just clip on and go
And cleaning is not a chore anymore too
I have owned many firearms over the years , I went through a stage that lasted many of those years where I swapped and changed , had custom firearms assembled , played with new concepts , but mainly I just parted with my hard earned money .
I now own a both a Shotgun and a rifle made by Blaser .
I no longer haunt my local gunshop , Internet firearms trading sites , and quite honestly firearm forums .
Those two firearms will see me out , and hopefully go on to my next generation .
They are the only firearms I've bought that I haven't felt compelled to adjust , alter or customise .
Right out of the box they did their job no questions asked , the only money I spend on shooting now is ammo and fuel .
Sometimes it pays to pay .

So very true.Quote:

I enjoy see you guys talking and enjoying it but man, some people can put you out of your game sometimes.
Have fun guys!
But to be fair whoever it is, they're right ;) :thumbsup:Quote:
