Blaser repeatability

Did similar a couple of months back mucking around with open sights and scope off two calibers and always hit the gong, it's nice to be able to trust the system, just wish I could find some ammo that shoots a tight group out of my 8x57, I've yet to get to a really nice tight group with it, trying some Norma Oryx soon which people claim works well in the caliber/rifle combo so fingers crossed.
 
Amazing to see the bullet path before the strike.

Not that impressed with the repeatability...situation normal after using one for a while. One gets a bit blasé about Blaser scope mounts.

What you don't see is him swapping the rifle once the camera zooms in and he's using an old CZ with with 6x42, lol!
 
I've also done similar tests with a sako quad and Leopold qrw mounts.
Same here, Leupold QRW are excellent mounts.

I had to take apart my Blaser for travel recently, first time i had to do it, it was in a Peli case but even so, re-assembled and still back on target.

What i like about the video as well, flight path and time to target, that should be a lesson to some.

Cheers

I'm stalking tomorrow & as the action had been out of the stock & the scope has been off I headed to Bisley at Braidwood to test it. Saw this thread just before I left which prompted me to conduct my own test, which I'd been meaning to do for ages. Rifle is a Sako 75 with a S&B 6x42 held in place by the standard Opti-locks & the scope was removed & replaced between each shot & tightened by hand as I don't have the correct torx bit for my torque wrench. The inner circle equates to 1 1/8" so the group is less than 3/4" & the higher shot was the first one from a clean barrel. I'd have been perfectly happy with that group with the scope being untouched, never mind on & off the rifle 3 times; I'm very impressed indeed. Sako 100g .243 Gameheads.

Once had a hunter suggest to me there was no repeatability in the Blaser. Took off the mod, scope, bolt dismantled, sling off, mag out. Put it all back together; no change.
 
It's a quick release scope mount system. There are many such systems about. You can do this on any rifle you care to fit such a system to.
 
I regularly swap my day scope and the nv scope on three different blasers and to date i check zero every time and I've never needed adjustment on any off them, none of em are over two years old but they work perfectly

best bit of kit I've had, really happy with them all from .22 up to 308 only downside is you keep want ing to get another one :D

I've also done this with sakos, on .222 and .270 (scopes mounted in optilocks) and with Heyms in 308 and 270 (scopes mounted in weaver style bases). I don't shoot that well, so the groups were a bit bigger (around an inch), but did not differ in size or mean POI from normally shot groups.

I actually think a big fuss is made about the higher end detachable mounts when in fact most weaver style and sako mounts (with the recoil stop pin) do pretty much the same. Certainly I find my Heyms are much more consistent with weaver bases than they ever were with Apel swing offs, which are actually designed to be quick detachable.

As with so many of these things, we tend to think 'our' system works best, when most often we actually have no comparison with alternatives.
 
I've tested leupold qrw , blaser saddle mounts , sem claw mounts. They all return to zero. If you think you can can 1/4 MoA on a 3/4 MoA hunting rifle you are kidding yourself.
