Rapid fire with a Blaser R 93

N E 450 No2Rapid fire with a Blaser R 93
While at the range with Aleko of Heritage Arms in Salt Lake City, he asked me if I had ever seen him shoot a Blaser R 93 rapid fire.
I had not so he gave me a demo.
He was shooting a Blaser R 93 375 H&H Tracker with a Blaser Hit Point with NO recoil kick stop.
He shot at a spot on the ground about 20 to 25 yards away.
It was not a rapid BOOM, BOOM,BOOM,BOOM, but a BBBBOOM.
I have shot a lot of different full auto guns over the years and I must say he can shoot a R 93 about as fast as a German MG-42.

And he did hit what he was shooting at.

Just more proof of how good the R 93 really is as a hnunting rifle.
PS: he is pretty good at 5 Stand as well.
If you are ever within 500 miles of Salt Lake City be sure and drop by his Store.

wildboarI would consider to buy a R93 Blaser for HALF its price.
He is tricksy and attaches a rubber band to the straight pull bolt.
At least that was what I "heard".

N E 450 No2If I can figure out how to hook up the rubber band on my 93 I would...
The only time I have seen a gun shoot any faster is when Rusty [I have done it too] doubled that 470 Merkel at a DRSS hunt.
I am going to bring a Blaser R 93 to the August DRSS hunt, let them shoot it, and then give them a Lie Detector Test to see how they REALLY like it.

shakariI had a client let go with three very fast shots with an R93 last year - Sadly, it was a .416 with a muzzle brake and it was about a foot from my left ear...... the 3 shots were so fast, I didn't have time to get a finger in my ear.....

- He shot well and damn fast, but I can't say I was exactly impressed!

N E 450 No2We cannot show a video. ATF would try to declare the Blaser R 93 as Class III.

Michael RobinsonWith my R93s, one's always enough, or if not, it's my fault entirely. But two's right behind, and so are three and four, in the flick or a few flicks of my wrist, so fast that sometimes everyone but me misses the reload(s).
Just a flat out incredible system.
My sons will either use them or sell them, because from me they will never part!
