Blaser accuracy

[Chasey]

my original post asked if the Blaser owners could show their group sizes and if they are as good as a trues action rifle ...
Not a hard question to answer stick your groups sizes on a post card as some have kindly done ..
And as I said 3k for custom or 3k on Blaser so premium cash for premium results ...
But as normal this site flings up the normal with folk twisting and trying to make a Cxxt of people with you said this you Said that !!
I no what I asked I no what I meant

Now for your post I would do you the favour of answering it but to be honest I fell asleep 2 mins into reading it ..

Have a great day

Your question is not sensible

You do not need to spend anywhere 3K to get "premium results" as most modern rifles can shoot sub MOA groups and with some work on searching out the right ammo or load development they can do even better.

Sub MOA groups for deer stalking is a joke.

Sure you can show so called "ragged holes" in paper but wheres the relevance from bench rest shooting or bipod shooting to shooting from sticks or a high seat.

Also I have seen people with high end rifles who couldn't do a "raged group" if their life depended on it. The skill o the shooter being the most important part of the equation.


HOWEVER off sticks or in a high seat a very heavy rifle will always be easier to shoot hence more accurate than a lighter rifle.

Which is why my heavy laminate stock Sako75 out performs my Blasser in the real world every time

Blaser or custom? Down to preference but modular id say Blaser and exclusivity id say custom. Performance is a non issue

Blasser with 243 and 308 barrels



Sako heavy but beautiful to shoot and will out shoot the Blasser all day long but not in its original stock purlely due to the weight

Never thought I would find myself agreeing with Chasey , let alone 5 statements on the bounce! This thread seems to be misconceived. Possibly an attempt at Blaser-bashing? Or bigging up custom builds? Not really sure. Like Chasey I own multiple Blaser and Sako (and others) and all shoot sub MOA. All are competent stalking rigs and have demonstrated same in the field here and abroad.

Punching paper has value in choosing/honing loads and building confidence in your chosen platform, sure. But minor differences there won't make the quarry any less dead.

With the Blaser are you just paying for the modular design or even dare I say it the fashion status .
Same as with a custom are you just paying for a one off .

you gave yourself away with that one.

Blaser owners are used to the **** taking. its like water off a ducks back.

I have had numerous custom rifles I have chopped and changed over the years. I currently own an Accuracy International AT with a 6.5X47 barrel done by Callum Ferguson, a Rifle with three different barrels by Dave Tooley and a custom Lawton 6mmbr by Redmist on here.

All of those along side 2 Blaser R93’s. With barrels in .308 .243 7X64 and 6mmbr.

I was going to sell the Blasers when I started collecting the other rifles but they shoot so dam well, are very short for standard barrel length and can be stripped down without loss of zero which I have done many times I just can’t bring myself to move them on.

I also think that the Blasers hold the value far better and a custom rifle.

If I was limited to one rifle it would be an R8 success with a .308 and 6XC barrels.

The guy in William Evan's at Bisley shoots the 6xc and he's over the moon with it, very very accurate calibre

I don't know where it will fit in with my lot 222, 243,6.5 & 308 best not get one I suppose, but the write up looks pretty good for the calibre I thinks its a look but no buy (at the moment) for me or until I get another cabinet

We haven't had a good blaser bash in a long time. I would like to see custom 416 rem versus my barrel swap R93 off the bench or off hand bothers me not. Custom vs Blaser R93.

R8 pro success - .308 Lapua Scenar factory loads 155gn.

Everyone knows the accuracy of the Blaser is the stuff that legends are built from. In the real world however, they are as accurate as most other decent factory rifles, no more, no less.

It comes down to whether you need, or desire, all the other features the rifle offers, of which there are several.

 

[Mick Miller]

Just as an aside, three shots is not a reliable indicator of the group your rifle will shoot, five minimum, ten better.

 

[Grant.N]

The first two are zeroing shots, then 6 shots. Squares are 1”

Had two new Blaser R8's Pro and Pro Success in 30-06 and 270 and my honest opinion is...............… Sako are more accurate. And that opinion is based on having 4 Sakos's previously

I had Sako before and it was pants... couldn't hit a barn door.
Never looked back since i bought my 1st Blaser 5 years ago...

Was your Sako new? Not wanting to upset Blaser owners as I am a owner of two. However my opinion is based on owning both Sako and Blaser rifles,

Brand new and spent £400 on ammo before i found something to give me a 2 MOA group , as i'm not reloading.

 

[Deutsch - Drahthaar]

What calibre? 75 or 85? Ive had Tikka 595 and Sako 85 from new and found accuracy to be almost as good as custom Border barrel stuff

 

[Deutsch - Drahthaar]

PS I have never reloaded - always used factory ammo usually Federal

 

[Grant.N]

My R8 put 6 .308 shots in 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch at 100 yds, how more accurate do you need to be?

I don't understand why R8 owners are so touchy. As I said I own two. With regards as to how accurate you need to be and with respect to your rifles accuracy, as to which I don't disagree. All my Sako rifle have been tighter groups from a bench at 100 meters and that is a fact!

I stand by my Sako 85 243 rifles accuracy and 7mm08 when compared to my Blaser's in 30-06 and 270.

I try for bob on.

 

[Deutsch - Drahthaar]

Shootgun and Grant.N - Why don't we meet up one weekend and compare the accuracy of all our rifles and post the results on this forum. I live in Worksop Nottinghamshire.

 

[Deutsch - Drahthaar]

Factory Ammo only though!
