Anyone interested in a .500 NE Blaser?
A local gunshop that I do a lot of business with has a .500 NE Blaser with dies, two boxes of Hornady ammo, bullets, and brass for sale, all for $9,000. I don't know if the price is good, bad, or indifferent, but thought I would pass it on. The rifle looks to be in close to new condition. The shop is G&G Guns in Lakewood, Colorado (303) 274-7970.

Boomy, they're tough to sell. They're discontinued now, and Maddog Guns in AZ has most of the remaining stock in the USA. They're very accurate rifles, but were never very well accepted here in this country.

Wait, you mean they want someone to pay THEM $9,000.

shocker


I'm not sure it would be worth the ridicule of owning one if THEY paid me $9,000 to take it off their hands.

Yea, not my cup of tea, but the owner of the shop treats me well, so I told him I would throw it out here.

Boomy, tell your dealer to get ready for an offer from Todd. He's just trash-talking...prepping you for his usual low-ball offer.

THIS video shows the proper way to deal with a Blaser.

There's a great YouTube video showing how to convert a Blaser barrel into a fairly useful pry bar.

I've also heard they make great car jack tools as well.
