Wood isn't too impressive for a Super Lux.

Buy that super lux if it's what you want.

Westley Richards is in a whole different level of clientel. I guess we will see what happens.

I guess, as a retired working-man, I'm a bit too thrifty with my $$$ to be a client of WR, especially with a little effort shopping around I can save enough for round-trip airfare to Africa and the trophy fee for a kudu.



Here's a view of the butt-stock on the Super Luxus........


and here's the other side. Shame it's not in better focus.

D99 and DB BILL I just picked up a special order R93 with the barvarian cheek piece ,up graded wood ,ordered grip capand engraving.
If I told you how much I paid you would not believe me. the guy had to get rid of it.

You can always make a "profit" selling it to me...what caliber and how is it engraved?

D99
Can you get 45 Blaser Barrels AND ammo to Aleko?
If I had a 45 Blaser THAT would be my choice for my Idaho, and Canada lack bear hunt over bait.

NE 450 No2 --- have you seen the short safari barrel for the 375 H&H? If you loaded the 375 H&H down to about 2350-2400 fps with the 300gr Nosler Partition I bet it would make a dandy and very handy rifle for sitting over a bait.

I have to get back to Europe see what they cost. I am going to sell each barrel with 100 rounds of Blaser Brass.

You will have to work dies on your own through Huntingtons.

The price for the whole thing is probably going to be ten $100 bils.

I will let you know when I get it all worked out.

DBBill when I said that Westley Richards and Co was in a entirely different level of sales I didn't mean that you weren't there. It wasn't mean to sound offensive.

Westley could sell a M700 ADL Synthetic for $1000. Some asshole would buy it and tell everyone how it was his Westley Richards Rifle!

I know a guy that bought a Pre-64 M70 375 from Westley Richards and he calls it his WR Rifle!

DB Bill
I have a 19 3/4" Tracker barrel in 308 and 375 H&H. The 375 Tracker is what I will be using on my bear hunt. They are of the standard contour.


D99 see if you can get the 45 Blaser bbl in the Tracker model. It is 19 3/4" [50cm] with iron sights.[Plastic sights actually].

A steady source of factory ammo and brass needs to be confirmed as I do not think you can make that casse from anything else.
Also the 45 Blaser barrel is a semi-weight. It will not fit in the standard reciever barrel channel. In Europe they have severak barrels offered in semi-weight and a froearm to go with them. You could use the Safari forearm/Safari synthetic stock.

We just need to get the Blaser people to import the 45 Blaser and ammo to the USA. I think it would sell well here.

NE 450 we need SIG to get off there ass and be the importer.

I agree that it will sell well. I will let you guys know on barrels.

I will get it worked out then let everyone know.

Kettner has Blaser ammo. E50 per box! Any takers?

I know a guy at the rod and gun club in an Army base in Germany. Let me see what I an do.

Horneber is the maker of the .45 Blaser brass, isn't he?

I found these threads interesting reading for the reason that if we want the manufacturer's to listen to us, we the shooting/hunting public we need to let them know our desires. ALL my e-mail queries to Blaser have been answered. While the answer itself may not have been the one I wanted to hear - I still let them know what I wanted and they responded.

Here is the link to Blaser's contact page on their website.

http://www.blaser.de/english/feedback/contact.htm

Please let THEM know of your caliber desires.

As for .45 Blaser brass - my expereince with the RELOADED .45 Blaser ammo I've have seen here in Germany from persons who normally show up with repsectable performing and appearing reloaded ammo are having difficulty with it! Split necks and case length (stretching) problems are the comments I most often receive from folks who are reloading this catridge!

Gerry

500 I didn't see it listed on the Horneber website. I know Wolfgang Romey makes all Blaser ammo. That's why all blaser ammo is E50 a box or more.

I am not sure if WR makes the brass or orders it from another agent.

Let's all email Blaser with our wants and wishes! Start a little email campaign!

Nitpicking alert: actually Blaser has ammo made pretty much all over the place:
- RUAG makes the CDP loaded ammo
- Norma loads the WSM calibers
- Romey loads (at least) the .45 Blaser stuff
- who knows what else from where??

Try asking Darren at Blaser, if there is anywhere to get .45 Blaser cases? He is a gem in terms of helping: darren.hull@blaser.de
- mike

Blaser has Norma make all the brass, is my understanding. Then the loading is sent out to RUAG, Norma, and Romney

Aleko

Aleko, still working. How many barrels do you want me to send. I will call you before I leave so we can figure this out.

Seth

Via email Blaser said, "Vee are not planning to introduce a 458 Lott."

Will someone else please email them and ask when they are planning to introduce a CRF version of the Blaser with a regular safety?

I will get right on it. I just got a 243 K95 barrel, I traded my 375 r93 sporter barrel for it.

Nice! Kind of suprised by how loud it is.

D99

I'm not surprised it's loud! 243 is a surprisingly loud cartridge and the little K95 despite having a 24" barrel has no action so the muzzle blast ends up being closer to your ear.

My K95 wears a 26" 6.5x57R - the extra 2" worked out VERY expensive but it was worth the extra cash for the reduced blast.

I am trading for a professional stock and a 338 sporter barrel tommorow. Hopefully it will be as good a shooter as my other Blasers.

I have a big list of barrels yet to buy.

45 Blaser for me plus all the ones you guys want.
7x64
8x64
8x57 semi-weight
9.3x62 semi weight
9.3x64
6.5-284
6x62 Freres
6.5x68
308 match
243 match
300 Winchester Match
223 sporter
257 weatherby
416 Remington
375 with sights

D99,

Is Blaser a public traded company? If so, let me know BEFORE you start ordering your dream barrel list!



Cheers,

Gerry

D99
whats a 6x62 Freres. What does it compare to.

blaser93
6X62 Freres is basicly a 9,3X62 necked down to 6mm. http://home.snafu.de/l.moeller/6mm-Patronen.html#6x62-Frères

D99, you also need an 8X68S

Cheers

16 x $800 = $12,800, which would cover a nice cape buffalo/plains game hunt, or a grizzly/moose hunt.

The 338 barrel is a shooter. Anyone have any experience with putting a recoil pad on the Professional stocks? Not as much as my Remington M700 Custom shop that I traded the Professional for.

Actually a lot of stuff went into that trade.

Johan your right I need a 8x68, maybe get it instead of the 8x64. 8x64 is 8mm-06-ish (well kind of) for those of you metrically challenged!

I have had recoil pads put on both my synthetic Blaser stocks (not Professional). Cut stock to length desired (incl thickness of pad). Fit and epoxy in hardwood dowels in upper and lower "edges" of the stock, drill, install patch. I have used Pachmayer Decelerators thus far. Before mounting the pad, I have had the the inside of the stock foam filled - precludes the use of a recoil reducer, but that has not been a problem for me.

I don't think Blaser currently chambers for the 8x64S, sadly. That would be a great caliber.
- mike

Mike,

The 8x64 S barrel is listed in the 2004 cattledog.

I was thinking about buying a recoil reducer, but think that E200 or $200 for one is BS. What size is it. Break-O makes a bunch of different sizes. The price is $60 cheaper in the states.

Thanks Mike for the information on how to make it work.

Epoxy is a miracle cure for everything. Cures cough, cold, runny nose, freckles, warts, guaranteed not to rip run or snag!

Can you tell us what sort of accuracy you're getting with what loads? Also what twist it is

Might be interested in one myself

I have ordered an 8 x 68 for my R93, it should be here any day! I think any of the 8mm bores are a great idea in the R 93. I have become such a fan of rail mounts for my Blaser that I have been upgrading my exsisting guns as opposed to adding cals.

I think that rail mounted scopes look cool on a blaser. If only they would fix that safety and make it CRF...

1894MK2,

I am in Wyoming on vacation and haven't tried anything but factory in the 338 or the 243. The parents just bought a new place and it isn't set up for loading yet.

243 K95 is probably a .75-1.25 gun with most factory stuff. Maybe do better with some handloads.

338 R93 is a 1-2.0 gun with Factory Remington 250 and 225 PSP.

Twist don't know get on the Blaser sight and look there. It will probably be metric and hard to figure out.

Hey ALEKO

Sounds like you might have some used rings and mounts . If so how much??????

Put me down for some used rings and mounts too!!!!!!!!! Those 12 dream barrels aren't going to mount themselves!

me too me too

just give me a call at the shop 801 562 2486


Aleko

Found a set of mounts $158 shipped. Only one set though. USED.

Recieved a email from Sigarms today, BLASER .45
BARREL is available special order. No ammo .

I have a meeting with our Blaser rep on Tuesday
