What's an I-Pad?? ~Muir
It's a type of bandage you use on your eye , usually needed after your friends find out you've bought a Blaser and punch you in the face .

If they sell at all. They start at almost 5K$ For a synthetic stocked 270. A wood stocked 30-06 was $5500. I don't know how many American shooter are going to jump at that.~MUir

This is Muir we are speaking about. Buying knew would defeat his principles. He is only sad that there is no second hand ones over there. Plus they are being offered at uk prices, not the American knock off jobs.
LOL! You might be right! At least about buying new! Actually, out of the last three rifles I have bought new, two are still in their boxes, unfired. (Only the Tikka 7-08 has seen the light of day.) I must not trust new rifles much, eh? One of them has been languishing in my gun room, unfired for five years now; Ever since my dear cuz JAYB claimed I would "....have it shot out in a week!" Makes me wonder why I bought it. Probably the price!
Blasers are the rage and they shoot well, but, for practical purposes, no better than other rifles. The cost of accessories like mounts, are insane. The barrel switching feature is nice but for $5K I can buy five rifles that won't cost me an arm and a leg to mount scopes and slings on. In other parts of the country they might sell well but this is ranch country. People are far too practical to line up for a $5K rifle that they will shoot no better, nor treat any better, than their Remington or Winchester.
And also, people around here don't shoot ugly looking guns, and Blasers are one butt ugly weapon. Like an AK-47 with fancy wood... ~Muir
At a driven shoot in Germany they gave me a plastic R93 which I thought was horrible. Didn't feel safe with the thing. At a different hunt they gave me a custom Mauser with nice timber and I felt at home right away, shot a nice piggy running flat out at about 15yds with it.
For me Blasers are noisy clatter boxes. 80% of the costs are to pay for the marketing.
