Fast as a break open double on the first two shots and faster reloads with 6 round capacity.

The ultimate DGR!

No freakin' way!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who, where, when and how much??

Frank,

The Fuchs might be an odd gun, but it's still better than Blasers straightpull, bigbore double rifle.


The ultimate in uglyness:

Pretty damned amazing; are the three bars on top of the open bolt the lockin lugs? I think so as the bolt heads are roughly case diameter and the extractors look like SAKO or M-16 style.

Extraordinary rear-locking double push-feed DGR!

Actually I'm impressed as hell but I wish they hadn't made the bolt handle look like a faucet tap!

Just what everyone needs! A single barreled push feed wasn't bad enough, now a double barreled push feed over weight, ugly piece of junk iron!

Seriously, the thing has potential, but the form, it takes today, is a little over the top. I would far rather see a falling block double rifle, that is better designed that the Hagn (spl). The Hagn is a far better idea than either of these bolt actions. However, all three need some design re-vamps, IMHO!

I think it's cool as 'ell, SEE IT ALL HERE, but for $50K. OUCH!

Lookout, Mac. We're fixing to catch hell from the "you don't appreciate fine craftsmanship" crowd

Erik,
I agree...the Blazer is a bit too dramatic for me and I also agree about the bolthandle. I'm wondering how the PH looks at the guy that shows up with one of these.....
It's really hard to be complimentary toward this one.

PH to client,

"My what an interesting rifle. Do you think you'll need to remove your diamond pinky ring before you shoot it?"

They ask that about guys with Bolt Actions and plastic stocks already.

All I have to say is Wow.

Eric, that thing is hideous! Yikes, you just ruined my appetite!

All the PH has to say is "you carry it!"
Problem solved!

The Blaser was made for Sheik Hamed Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, the finance minister of Abu-Dhabi who has several specially made Blasers.

I'm sure he has someone to both carry his rifle, and someone to take off his diamond pinky rings when necessary!

I have never handled the Blaser double but I did handle a bolt action double at the Rambouillet show in France in March. Too heavy for me to consider luging it around all day, whatever its other faults/merits. Must have been 13 or 14 pounds at least, maybe more.

ErikD, I'm sure you are right, but I would add, on thing he doesn't have is "TASTE"! that thing needs to be made into a floor lamp for a whore house!

Mac, that whore house may lose business on account of that floor lamp !

I've never seen a floorlamp in a whorehouse. You must go to the really good ones.

Maybe that's where Sheik Hamed Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan got the idea in the first place?

Ther terms "double Fuchs" and "whorehouse" should never appear in the same thread.

You can throw "Sheik" in there too!

I'm welding TWO 12Ga FH actions together. It will still look better than that monstrosity.-Rob

The only thing missing on the BlazerSxS is the Roman like waterspout coming out of the boltknob/Leopards mouth. If it had that I would definitely buy one

Very droll.

I saw one of those "things" in Vegas at the International gun show about five years ago.

Looked at it and thought--Why! It is just too weird for me. I'm not really fond of magazine rifles anyway, and this just doubles my feelings.

I'm not trying to be snobby or anything, but a break action is the "only double" And sxs being the preferred one.

Long ago I gave up hunting with ugly guns and rifles. If I die while hunting, I sure don't want my grand kids to know that I died carrying some ugly gun.

So sorry for being a snob,

Mark

Geez,

The only thing they left out, "THE LEVERS".....

Don't worry, that is a straight and keen understanding of the universal aspiration of an enhanced lifestyle - without any hint of snobbery.

In a sense the Fuchs represents the triumph of workmanship over design, beautifully made and fitted and completely useless.

$40K for a basic rifle $80K for a deluxe one.

I usually don't bash any product but I know the PH that was on the safari where the prototype Fuch rifle was used. The gun blew up in the PH's hands and handily removed his thumb. This happened in '97 and the last time I knew they had offered the PH a total of $5000 as compensation. How do people sleep at night treating people like that?

Mark

it's actualy a thing of beauty, in an HR Giger / Citreon sort of way..



you know who HR Giger is, right? think the art work that inspired the movie alien
