Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Blazer single shot

Hello All,
I had the opportunity to handle a Blazer single shot yesterday chambered in 7x57. It's a very petite little rifle and felt great. The workmanship was very good, as I would expect. I'm not sure what grade it was, but was well embellished. It had a price tag of around $4700. I'm thinking recoil might be a little stiff in such a light rifle. (I guessed around 6lbs?) Anyone here own one? or have any experience with them?

I have one (K95) in 270Win. It easily shoots .5" groups. Stock is well designed so recoil is not an issue in that caliber. With a Ziess Conquest 3x9, my K95 weighs 6 pounds 14 ounces. "Mountain rifle Extraordinare".

rj,
It seemed very light, and I was thinking it would be the perfect mountain rifle. I'm not sure how serious I am about purchasing one, but it was very nice. I'm glad you enjoy yours.

I think you mean a BLASER

A Blazer was a cheap CVA muzzleloader made in Spain.

Sorry for the mis-spell, and I think you are right!

I have a K95 in 30/06. Recoil should not be an issue; at least it is not for me. Excellent trigger, light weight, take-down capability for packing, excellent trigger; expensive in real dollars? Perhaps, but very good quality and the ability to add an additional barrel. Very accurate too.

I have a K95 Blaser and I can echo the comments offered above. Maybe the most accurate rifle I own. it easily can shoot better than I can shoot it. Extremely well engineered, built and balanced, it is a dream to carry and shoot. Add to all that, the ability to change barrels and you have a really nice package.

No big deal.
I'd like a Blaser too. I can't say the same about a Blazer

The K95 is one of my dream rifles.

I love the breech block lockup, much much better IMO than a simple break open.

I have a K-95 Stutzen in 243. It's just a wonderful little rifle for the Michigan deer woods. Like carrying a toy out there,that is until the trigger is pulled. Accurate, crisp trigger, very lightweight, next to no recoil. It's a go-to rifle for me, that is...as long as the weather is nice. Would hate to get the little bugger mussed up....

Mine is the "Prestige" model, which is just one step up from the standard K95. The Prestige model goes for about $4700 now. When I bought mine, about 12 years ago, the went for about $2800. I traded a couple of used rifles and the rest cash. The Germans definitely know something about light weight accuracy. Handling of these things is unbelievably nice.

I have a K95 Luxus in .308. What can I say, It's the perfect mountain rifle. Have a Minox 3-9x40 on it now, but will have a 2.5-8x36 Leo soon.

I realize that I am a little late to the party, but I have two K95's with a total of three barrels. My first was a Euro stocked Prestige in 30-06, and my second is a American stocked Luxus in 243. I recently added a 52 cm 9.3x74r barrel.

I will freely admit that the recoil is a little stiff with the 9.3x74r, but it isn't so unpleasant that I don't enjoy shooting it.

Here is a picture of the Prestige with the 52cm barrel and a new illuminated S&B 8x56mm scope. This is my night set up for hogs.

retrieverman:

Like that cartridge holder. Where'd you get it?

Very Nice!

Mad Dog has them for sale on Gunbroker.

When you say "Mad Dog," do you mean that's the name of the manufacturer?

Think it would fit like that on a Ruger 1-A?

It should. I have one on my BBF97 and Encore.
