I can’t comment on the sauer but my blaser which I think is about 12 - 13 years old has never let me down, it goes out in all conditions and gets really crappy at times, I bought it as a 10 year old .308 and soon afterwards chopped in my .243 prohunter for a .243 blaser barrel. The barrels interchange perfectly and it’s never missed a beat. I’ve used my .243 barrel in someone else’s stock and bolt when we wanted to use both of my calibers/ammo and that functioned perfectly. I’ve shot blasers in .243, 25-06, 6.5 x 55, .270, .308 and 30-06 and all have shot in exactly the same place, whoever was shooting – they just seem so consistent and accurate. I’m going to try one next week in 22-250 and pitch it against my .243 to see which is the best calibre, and I’m looking forward to trying one in .375 if I get the chance.
As you know the blaser cocking device is perfect, and when theres more than one gun around you don’t have to worry about the position of the other persons safety catch – and the straight pull action is second to none when things get fast and furious and multiple shots have to be let go in quick succession – none of that scope canting and trying to catch up with the target, save that for the turn bolt brigade.
Someone said to me only yesterday “when I’m hanging out of your truck window with a normal gun/safety – that gives me a bad feeling, when I’ve got the blaser in my hand that’s a good feeling, I know its safe until I’m ready to go and I know the bullet is going where its meant to go”
Ps. I’m looking to re-home a second stock and bolt at the moment so if you know of an unloved one – send it round, I’ll give it a good home.
