betootifull look after it well,something like that deserves to be handed through generations.
Loverly Rifle! Propper single shot in a classic caliber.
Yes a bucket list rifle for me , it will probably be the last rifle is sell when that time comesQuote:

Cracking rifle. Nice one
Wow. Amazed to see one in NZ.
Stunning :drool:
What’s the bore like on it?
Do you know the rifles history?
It’s surprising what is in this country lurking in gun safes , often the nice stuff does not change ownership very often ,nice to at least share some pictures so people that appreciate the old stuff can enjoy , sorry my photography wasn’t the best today.Quote:

One in 318 WR would be even wickeder
A dream rifle, you lucky man!
One thing I have learned in the last few years is every imaginable dream rifle is well represented in NZ
They just aren't flashed around by the guys who own them
They can be found and they can be brought
They are kept for a long time so don't change hands often
They are usually the very last of a collection to be let go
It takes a long time and a lot of phone calls to find them and convince their current owner that you are a worthy successor to own them
Absolutely anything you can imagine is here somewhere and you just need to find it
If it takes a while it tastes sweeter when you do own it and it gives you plenty of time to save the dollars you will need
Any chance of a few close ups of the thing?
Sure

Holy shit @Lucky - that last picture is just sublime.
Haha , yeah got the light right on that pic
Lucky by name Lucky by nature!
So how would I get you to part with that beauty?
You would have some competition!Quote:

That's just lovely.
A couple of questions - if you don't mind.
What does it weigh?
How does your hand fit on the grip when the tang sight is folded down and you are using the express sights?
Have not weighed it sorry, my guess in the region of 7.5 pds , with aperture in down position it is clear of the thumb , not by alot though
absolutelybloody magic- Idrowned me beer drooling over it!!Quote:

Akaroa's right - it's quite astonishing what's in this country
I had a nice lightweight Rigby .275 (7x57) I couldn't resist taking into the Urewera'a and I went over a bank with that thing and watched it clatter on the rocks - gave it some history that day. I never took it out again and eventually had it 'massaged' away from me by someone who never relented.
Change your name, address, wife and deny you own that thing ............. eyes will have already glazed over with lust
:)
I fell 140m down a cliff with my K95 BlaserQuote:

High and rifles ... just go use them
I just got to hear about this, can we have a bit of a story re the 140 mtr flight. I fell over backwards in some bluffs in fiordland and quick as lightning I said God you've got to save me.Quote:

I know of a widow who lost a really valuable colt pistol in similar circumstances. " He said I could have it before he passed".
Then it came up for auction in the UK 6 months later.
Absolutely stunning.
The Blaser is an easily replaced 'high end' rifle should shit happen - not sure about that Jeffrey, or even my old Rigby .............. maybe take 'em where they are less likely to get hurt.Quote:

Beautiful piece of equipment.
