done any one here have any experience what so ever with the new blaser double rifles. besideds the weird hood thing on the back of the barrels that is part of the lock up what is every ones opinion on these rifles they seem to look well made to me...but i have no experience with these guns.

here is a link

blaser web page

There is no way I would buy a blaser double. It's no more than a kid's toy and poorly executed at that. The sights are a weird design that I found hard to see. The stock is set up without enough drop so I could not even get down low enough to line up the sights properly. If they were selling for $1500, then I could understand why someone would buy one. But the Sig is not a legitimate dangerous game rifle. Not to mention the shroud that gets in your way when you try to put cartridges in it.

Is anyone at Sig listening?

so dan i take it you dont like them....hehehe

my local shop up here has one thats why i was asking the qestion it was a beautful rifle the engraving was great and the wood was out of this world as far as grain and over all finish of the rifle i how ever would replace the sights with those found on the searcy rifles wich i belive to be new england custom gun sights.

and remember i am talking about the super lexus model not the standard or the regular lexus this is a step up from those two.

I have handled about a dozen different Blaser S2 Safari rifles, in calibres 375 H&H, 500/416, 470 and 500 Nitro.
They do feel BIG, but for me and several of my friends the sights have lined up perfectly. I have no doubt that they will shoot very good. [Based on the other Blaser products I have shot] They are "new technology" and are different. You will have to judge for yourself if one will "work" for you. As soon as I get to shoot one I will report the results. I do wish the rifle would stay cocked when you open the action.

another reason i asked this question is that the asking price is only $9200 canadian the reason is because it was a show gun its been touched and handeled quite a bit but has only half a box of ammo through it just for demonstaration purposes its in mint condition and am really thinking about buying it. exp since they go for 14-15k us$ brand new



ps i forgot to say its in 470 nitro express

i am really surprized.... i would have thought, i would have gotten more of a responce and more information on these guns if any one has information or links to product reveiews or hunting artical where people have used these guns please feel free to post it here

They also have an auto safety.

Don't they also have that weird cocking piece/safety mechanism similar to Krieghoff if I recall correctly?

I have been looking for a good value on a 9.3x74R double and I too was impressed by the quality of the engraving and the beautiful wood on the S-2s that I saw....and I liked the idea of being able to get a single-trigger (won't be using it for dangerous game) but I handled several at the Safari Club Convention and at least for me they felt very "clubby" and excessively barrel heavy....even in the smaller calibers.
