That is definitely not the question that you asked at the start...you asked for photos of groups sizes from Blaser owners for comparison, but in your subsequent post the only comparison you provided to compare is a single three shot group which certainly does not prove that your "well set up trued bolt action" is capable of doing that every time or just the once by fluke...
Although it was not the question you asked in the OP, it was the point I assumed you were trying to make...which is why I answered as I did regarding the relevance of accuracy as just one of the criteria we use in our selection of rifle. Why do you consider the fashion status of a custom rifle any less irrelevant than that of a Blaser?
So perhaps as I took the trouble to answer your OP and provide what you asked, perhaps you would do me the courtesy of showing the rest of your groups rather than just a single three shot one which is not adequate evidence of rifle, marksmanship or ammunition. Please provide the other half of the comparison you requested in the OP.
For a hunting rifle it is not the
best three shot group that is relevant...it is the
worst group that you should be basing your field practice upon. if you look at the
www.rifleman.org.uk/Fuller_group_diagnosis.htm article it explains quite clearly why is the case.
There is a much more useful and interesting question regarding value for money than whether one make of standard rifle is better or worse than your particular custom one...
What was the accuracy comparison between the Remington in its original state, and then after you have spent your couple of grand on tweaking it. How much more accurate was it then? And was the improvement worth it? I would hope it was. The combination of features I liked about the Blaser were worth it for me.
