I just tried IMR4007sc in my R8 Blaser a few minutes ago. These were the first three out of the tube.

So do a lot of other rifles. I will not disagree with you at all, on that. But they do seem very consistent about it, as rifles go.

It is nice wood on those rifles. Is it solid or a laminate over plain wood?
Long They are solid wood. They are also available in a variety of grades with some being truly unbelievable.

Who here is running the RAIL system. Tell me that isn't the neatest/slickest mount going. 2x Swaro AV 3-10x42(4A) here. I was going to get a Z6 but it's another 100 odd grams more weight.... Would like a 1-4 of some sort. Might have to go rings & get that new Leupy VXR pig plex. Looks businesslike to me. I've gone rail on several. Have 3 z6 scopes with rail mounts. 2 illuminated and one without illumination. It is the best system I've found yet. Swarovski does appear to have the best rail mounting system since the teeth mesh and there is no give, no matter what the recoil is. One of our guys had a Schmidt & Bender fail on his 375 and it damaged the scope also. I really wish Leupold would figure out a rail mount and move America past the 60s. Until they do it here most Americans won't even know what one looks like or how simple it is today. The old rails that had to be drilled and fitted were prehistoric compared to those out now. Thing is even for the guys shooting conventional rifles if you have weaver bases you can use a rail mounted scope and never have nasty ring marks or worse. Clean and sharp, truly professional in every way.

Yep, she's mine, and I figured a picture would easier explain it better to those who understand visual stimulation better than the written word. just celebrated thrity years this past week. Thanks for the compliments, I'll pass them on. She however does not hunt at all. jorge
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Of course I have found that a Marlin 30-30 will also shoot about as well as a Model 70, or a Blaser.

Of course the old R93 in 9.3X62 is about the most precise rifle I own. That would also be the one with all the sgiggly lines in the stock as well.

Sako & Tikka surely are sweet! But those Blasers just seem to cut into each more than than most rifles, for me

For me this photo says it all. This is 1911 technology at it's finest in warfare. I chuckle at the anti Blaser comments. Some posters have little experience in life to back the strength of opinion they have. Others would never spend money for a quality gun and that is fine, just don't knock those that do. The ignorance that I read online at times of people thinking you have to have a glob of metal to make a rifle is startling to see those that actually try and convince you that technology is of value in all things but firearms. I don't care if you have no use for advancements in technology but to spit on it's value for being different shows a lack of intelligence that I do not have the patience for. I know we are all wired different in what we like but Internet experts wear me down. You dont need a hunk of metal. In fact the mini Mauser sized action in a 22 Hornet or 223 are very pleasing to me and a joy to carry. The best Mauser is the littlest.

You're ridiculous.
Flight propulsion and design has changed constantly since the first flight, hence the technology surrounding flight has changed. Flight is complex and the technology surrounding it is, and will forever be, complex.
The basic metallic cartridge hasn't changed one bit, hence the reason there is very little new to discover about how to handle that technology in a hunting platform. The technology of the metallic cartridge is simple and the platform to handle it best in the hunting field should be relatively simple.
Your analogy sucks and is at the intellectual level of the 5th grade.
