    The rimfire option will likely have flashing LED lights, glow in the dark and have 4 in different barrels in .22 mag, .22, 17HMR and 17HM2 that fold out of the stock like the blades of a swiss army knife. A special (expensive) scope will digitally correct its self to four different zeroes depending on which barrel you fold out. It will be plastic and uglier than a $400 Savage. People who have owned a Finnfire Hunter will cry uncontrollably if they touch one.

    To summarize the Blaser vs Accuracy International discussion, the Blaser is a rifle that is actually different. The Accuracy is a rifle that is actually a van, posing as a rifle. Its shaped like a van, its as heavy as a van and its as aesthetically pleasing as a van, so it must be a van.

    To non military people they look military and to military people they look heavy.

    Save yourself $10,000 and paint an old ford econovan olive green.

    Beretta is a subsidiary of the same corporation producing computer tuned pop music and chemically addictive processed food.
    Fuck me I just spat coffee all over my keyboard and wee'ed myself laughing. Haven't laughed like that in ages, I will never look as "Vans" the same way again

    Bugger. Looks like the Mrs might need to get a firearms license too since she seems to drive an Accuracy International.

Clipped to the webbing will be pocket knives made with lasers from material engineered by NASA, enough paracord to make an actual parachute, machined alluminium objects of intended purpose unknown, but with the practical application of catching every bit of scrub ever and torches also made with lasers with batteries also made by NASA, so bright only the curvature of the earth can stop them from being seen at night.

    Don't worry, at the sight of your wife, daughter or any other female they will flee back to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (gun store that shall remain nameless).
    Nah, they wont. They'll still be trying to untangle themselves from the seatbelts.

    Actually I reckon the van would be good as a hunting wagon. Huge moon roof for shooting from, heaps of room in the boot, seats fold for a bed, 4x4ish, ... Mrs wont let me put on bigger mud tyres and borrow it much though.

    Jayseeeeus Tussock, I would say "go on tell us how you really feel" but I don't think we have the bandwith.

    The blaser has any action size you want and does not have to have dedicated action lengths.
    A simple catch on the magazine does it all. And is way faster than a turn bolt in any length anyway.

    The Germans simply nailed it with this repeater. Simple, concentric, consistant, accurate and fast.

    I really can't see the point of fucking around with old ideas and technology to get a reliable modular rifle when the best engineers in the world have already done it for you.😆


    "Rifle of the century"😆

    Suck it, haters😆

    Well, the T3x does have lots of worthwhile improvements but it isn't really a new rifle.
    Fortunately.

    Maybe the t3 does not need to be changed and might become the Nutella of the rifles:
    In all its existence Nutella never had to go big on marketing or advertisement or change of logo .
    A supermarket or a shop that would not keep Nutella on their shelves knew they would loose sales.
    It is a bit the same with tikka for gunshops.
    If it is in 7-08 ( or 308/ 270 /223 for the shops outside Auckland) ,you know it will sell!
