Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Blazer single shot

BG, you are right; just scoped the 7 and changed the scope on the '06. Thought while I had them out I'd take a few pic's before the sun got too low, but am not finished with the mounts yet. I di have the small blade screw drver.

George, what leupold scope is that? I am more than impressed that you can get that scope pushed so far forward in the rings. My blasers have all the scopes back as far as they can go and I still struggle with eye relief.

I also wish Blaser made lower rings for smaller objective scopes.

M8 4x.

I am not sure if it is just an optical illusion, but the new design "low" rings sure appear to be lower than the old lows.

The middle mount was from a used purchase several years ago. I knew it was lower and used it on the Leica on my 416 Rem. I always thought it was a factory variation till on another site someone pointed out it looked like Leupold rings adapted to fit


This is a Leupold ring for comparison. Sure looks like someone altered it. It has worked well on the 416

I seem to remember Heritage Arms (Aleko) was having rings milled down a bit and re-installed. Not sure if anyone is still doing that or not anymore.

That is exactly what I did, probably 6 years ago on my K95 in 270 Win. I thought the standard Blaser rings were too high. I removed them from the mount and screwed on some low Leupolds that I cut off the dovetail, drilled and tapped them through the base. Now my scope sits as low as possible using the Blaser QD scope base.

Well, that is beyond my abilities. I would add that though I really like the Zeiss Conquest and the Z-Plex reticle, that scope seems too big for this grand little rifle. I will be seeing if there is something more fitting size-wise.

I agree with you about the conquest. I tried my 3.5-10x44 and it looked huge on the little K-95. I have also tried Swaro 2-10x42 and Minox 3-9x40 and feel those are also too large for the little rifle. I really want to put a 2.5-8x36 VX3 on there, but don't think it will look right because the ring height is way too high for a 36mm scope. I am checking now to see who cuts those blaser rings down and will report back if I find someone.

Cooperfan depending on the scope there may be a limitation on how low you can go as seen on this 2-7 Kahles. It fits me fine so it doesn't need to go lower

Yea, I have no problem with the height of scopes with the Blaser proprietary ring/base set. It seems to work well with my proportions and my eyes.
