Blaser Rifles

I’ve always managed to cycle mine silently….especially when a second fox has been within 30yards. Never had a problem with that.
This is with my R93’s and LRS2…..never felt the need to go R8.

The beretta option is £1500 and very nice indeed
My ‘technique’ is to use my thumb as a brace against the bolt carrier, forefinger forward to prevent the case ejecting while the other fingers wrap round and slowly work the bolt handle with a twist of the wrist…
Once it’s drawn back, the forefinger hooks round the front of the case to extract it, into my chest pocket then back on top of the next round to prevent it jumping out of the magazine and feed it into the chamber. A twist of the wrist then fully closes the bolt with the knob held into my palm.
Bar the twist of the wrist, I do much the same with my bolt actions too…

Without slating any make or model of rifle , it has taken me 15 years to get where I am. I always liked the idea of Blaser rifles , interchangeable barrel, safety! Yes safety ! Being able to change optic with no change of zero , what else would you want in a stalker , pest controller . I have had some very nice rifles , low end and high end, some more accurate than others . As many of you may know I now own an R8 and yes it did cost me a fortune, but!!! I don’t grudge a penny of it . When I take it out of the gun room it makes me smile. So to all you who are slating Blaser rifles and have never owned one think AGAIN

I’ve handled them, shot them and have a blatant hate of them.So why slate them
Sorry but could have got one for £1500 and you lot are paying In the region of £4k for them, so you lot are massively over paying!
Yep you can pull it to bits and change barrel , big deal!
I can do all that with a beretta for £1500
By all means, do as you please, I’m only offering my opinion same as everyone else on the SD

It’s no secret what I use and have used for the last decade and more, Ruger M77 as elegant as a kick In the stones, but 100% reliable, accurate and a damn sight cheaper.
Bought the 270 15 years ago, beat it hard no I have a 7x57.
I calibre, I rifle and complete reliability.

I hate peppers but I don’t go on and on about it…. I just don’t eat them, problem solved.

I appreciate the good points of the Blaser system, and I thought long and hard about buying one. But I just couldn’t get t my head around the straight pull bolt. I prefer the ‘normal’ feel of the push/twist to lock type.
I bought a Mauser MO3 which at the time was similar money to a Blaser.
If I was looking now would I pay the Blaser money ? No I wouldn’t. A friend owns a Schultz and Larsen which shoots very accurately, has switch barrel capability, has the most sublime bolt I’ve ever felt and cost just under £2,000.
Barrels are similar money to Blaser too, around the £1,000 mark.

Hi , I’ve limited experience with centre fire but did a Firearms awareness course at Dgvm in Chippenham
The last rifle we used was a blaster r8 thumb hole .308 with a leica sight ! What a piece of kit ! Even with my limited use of use produced a touching three hold group at 100 m on a bench rest so for me then if you can afford it treat yourself !

Out of curiousity, was that one of the federal match BTHP options or the HP copper?
