Other than that they're fucking ugly? Ask @Philipo
The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

Hahahaha @kiwijames Says the Blaser owner
Yes I have one in 308 & Yes it's a Browning. Mine's getting a timber make over at TJ's ( the finish was a bit milky ) can't wait to get it back as I really like it.
Good points - Nice timber & shape, points like a shotie, Solid self enclosed "BAR" action ( which is spring loaded ), great safety, Comes with a nice flutted barrel, good weight & well balanced & mine is very accurate ( with handloads )
Bad bits - Not probably the best "in the scrub gun" as has a few moving parts ie - The double front spring action is quite complicated and the trigger is the normal Browning poo ( but I'm a good enough marksman so it's not an issue )

Is it not noisy as hell with the spring loading (I'm too lazy to push a bolt 70mm forward) part?

A friend of of mine has one in 9.3x62 for wild boar shooting in France. He can shoot and reload faster with it than with his blaser.
