    I agree, a Blaser is more like jamming something in a hole and hoping it stays there...

    Works for dogs when they're chockablock up a bitch. I'm sure Blaser thoroughly researched the "Bulbus glandis" in canines and copied the technique...
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    The R8 is officially the strongest action ever tested by DEVA.

    Until the washer gives way

    I don't think I'm ever going to get tired of this joke.

    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

    yeah, 'course it is. Anything with a "bolt", including AR's, AK's, pump guns, lever guns etc is literally a bolt action. The "bolt-action" type should actually be called something like "pull-action" to differentiate from lever-action, pump-action, auto-action.
    10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.

    Presumably they will have continued to innovate and make progress
