I wouldn't use one for one reason:
Life is too short for an ugly gun.
They probably said the same thing about the first Model 70. I know they said it about the first black plastic stocks. But I sorta identify Model 70s with Africa.
Sorry... for me, hunting, especially DG is not a fashion show or gun beauty contest, lol.
ALL I care about is reliabilty and second to that, speed of second shot, since as good as you are (or think you are...?), ones 1st shot may not be the "
coup de grace" and your a$$ may depend on a quick follow up.
If Browning made a BAR in .375H&H or .458 Win Mag, I probably get it as I believe that BAR
time honored & tested action is as reliable and jam free (
maybe more so...especially user caused jams, short stroke, failure to slam Blaser bolt forward, etc.) as any bolt gun, and certainly be
a whole lot faster follow up, if needed, than any bolt rifle, Blaser included!
