New Double Rifle

After being Blaser enthusiast for a long time, I went off the reservation today and bought a Merkel B3 in 9.3x74. I'll post pictures when it gets here.

Jeff, was that from Guns of the South? I saw he reduced them by $500. I had one in 30-06, but the 9.3x74R is the one to have. Great little double-carbines!

Jeff Sullivan

Yes, it's from Guns of the South, and the gunbroker price ISN'T in stone.

Also, he doesn't have scope mounts, but I bought an Innomount off Ebay for the B3 that fits a Swarovski rail scope.

I am not familiar with the B3 Merkel double rifle! Anyone have a picture? I checked the Merkel website and see no mention of the B3 rifle , only a B3 sight base!

I'm pretty heavily vested in Blasers (R93 Pro, BBF97, and a S2), but I've never had any trouble selling Blaser stuff either.

I think the B3 is going to be a fun gun to exterminate pigs with.

Now I know why I wasn't familiar with the B3! I was under the impression it was a proper double rifle, but it is one of those O/U thingys with only one trigger!

One trigger? I have a Winchester 101 with a single trigger and have NEVER had a problem with it.I have owned it for the past 30 years.But yes I noticed the single trigger right away also.

Biebs

Mac, when you started shooting, they weren't even using smokeless yet :-)

06 March 2016, 06:57

Jeff Sullivan

Mine is supposed be a double trigger model.

Mac, why on earth would you assume ANYTHING with the name Blaser on it would be a "proper" rifle of any type, regardless of the fact this one's barrels are 90 degrees out of alignment. Maybe there is something to that OSR thing after all. Something seriously bad happened to this one.

Turd, the B3 Deluxe is a Merkel....get with the program :-)

TURD is actually pretty fitting in this case since Mr Williams only came to this thread to talk shit.

Maybe it will save the day for Mr Todd when I inform in Public that I have advertised one of my Blasers today. The Blaser R8 Kilombero 375 HH - but have so far not recieved any response from potensial buyers ...

Sorry....

What's "smokeless powder?" Something you mix a drink with?

DANG Biebs, that is one very nice stick of wood on that rifle.

Jeff, you will really like the 9,3x74R calibre. I have killed a lot of game with the 9,3x74R, including bears, giraffe, cape buffalo, and elephant.

One may have an "issue" when you can date Bieb's photos by the color of his mulch.

Hey Todd,

Have you been in the Czech country ? Just a few miles away you could visit the Blaser factory
