I was at stager sports the other day as they were unpacking a new shipment of blasers got to fondle a brand spank $40k Blaser no idea what it was but fuck I was nervous, gotta say though very very nice.

I remember at the Tahr show in chch years ago,i put a blazer rifle in my wifes hand.She said this is a nice rifle,she asked the sales rep how much it was/He said 17K,my wife nearly dropped it. I quickly grabbed it and gave it back to the sales rep.

I had a similar but roles reversed experience the other day when fondling a travel bag my wife had just bought...

You can get a Delux Blazer with a S&B illuminated recticle scope for $6K NZD over here.

How much is Hugh selling them for?

Alot of the baby boomers generation are hanging up their hunting boots and flooding the European market with high quality used Rifles,that's effecting the sale of higher end new guns.

my wallet hurts just knowing this, time to google me thinks

I don't understand "Blaser-mania".

How much would they cost if Miroku or Howa a produced them?

They have more warranty claims than any other Rifle I know of but still people pay a premium for them.

If there is one type of Rifle that's going to Fuck out when the guys have to do their shooting test it's going to be a blaser.The ones with the integrally suppressed barrel need a 40minute cool down after a 5 shot string.

interesting info

Its funny how the most expensive stuff not just guns seems to be the stuff that shits its self the most and people keep buying it and defending it. It's almost like some elite club where you go and buy a piece of shit so you can brag about how much it cost and how often it fuks out

Whilst someone is doing some Blaser bashing I'll jump on the wagon.

Cylindrical-collet locking lugs just to achieve straight pull, surely you lose a lot on primary extraction?

Mag is attached to the trigger... WTF??!

If you lose a mag that's sad, but mag and trigger pack? Probs cost the same a second hand rifle to replace.

Switch barrel is a cool concept but not when one barrel costs the same as a brand new Tikka (or more?!)

Manually cocking the bolt... if you really need a 'safety' feature like that you should not be shooting, as you would have needed to break every safety rule already to make it worthwhile.

Only Blaser I've had experience with was an R8 and the bloody thing got its nice out of joint over a bit of dust and cold weather (icing) on a tahr trip and wouldn't go into battery, wasn't very impressed, old mate that was there with us had to do all the shooting with his Savage 110 lol

I've got a Blaser R8 in a carbon stock, I love it for the straight pull action, the rest of it doesn't really phase me. I love it because it does what it's meant to do, really well.

Can I justify the cost? No.
Will I ever sell it? I doubt it.

There just doesn't seem to be any cheaper options for a decent straight pull rifle.
