The R93 is the finest stalking rifle ever created.

I didn’t notice your location when I posted that, so funny when it fitted so well.Gucci handbag of rifles, carried by “latte drinking, man bag carrying soft southern poofters”)
I take that you are insinuating I can’t afford a Blaser, “Oh how we Laughed”Of course Thar you are absolutely spot on.
Blaser the must have accessory ....it goes nicely with the Large house ,Chelsea tractor,Jag,and Revenger 27 .
Almost makes me feel sorry for my poor Northern cousins, almost![]()
obliviously you didn’t read my first post on the matter. No need to feel sorry for me mate, spent enough time in London making the big money, now fled north to enjoy more time stalking. Oh boats by the age of 14 I was sick of them, forced by my dad to go boating for every school holiday.

Thar, if you are going to paraphrase a Deportiro.com article, take the trouble to let the viewers know where you got the quote from and maybe post the CEO of Blaser's reply, it also makes interesting reading
.
All this shows is that we all have personal preferences as to what we like to hunt with, which is not a bad thing.
Personally I don't like folks slagging any brand I use, whether it be Apple computers, Canon cameras or Blaser rifles, all it does is reduce the 2nd hand value of them if enough people shout against them.
Bloody internet, we should get back to smoke signals, at least they could be shut up with a puff of wind
then the price, 2 to 3 times that of a good European bolt action despite the rifles are now being built in eastern Europe, finally you get well and truly ripped off for the accessories.This has been quite an interesting debate that has rumbled on for some time now and I was tempted to post a “witty” comment on the lines of;
Blaser the marmite rifle – you either love them or hate them.
But then I thought about it and my own views on the rifle. While I am very impressed by the design and quality of these rifles, would I ever buy one ? My own personal answer would be NO. The only reason I would give is that unlike traditional designs which rely upon a small number of substantial lugs in the lock up the Blaser relies upon a large number of small components. If anything goes wrong which for varying reasons probably mainly user related such as bad reloading practises, these small components act as shrapnel while more traditional designs appear to be slightly more forgiving.
Now that’s my own personal view but I wouldn’t in any way criticise anyone else for their choice of firearm because it all comes down to personal preference in the end.
The one thing I will say is that a Blaser or Sauer will hold it's value in a way that a parts/custom gun never will. I know, I have tried most of the options out there. Spend £2000 - £3000 on a semi custom on a factory action. Keep it a year and try and sell it. You will do well to get 50% of what you paid for it.
Which would make a second-hand (semi-) custom a good buy, if it's close to your ideal spec???
