butchlocforgiveness
as a custom rifle lover and in the spirit of easter i believe that today we should forgive blaser owners as they know not what they did.
tomorrow however that is another thing

SR4759I cannot forgive anything that looks like it was designed by the designer of the MAS 36.

richjRan across a Schmidt Rubin in 308 at a local shop. Was in a sporter stock, white line spacers and all. I'd never seen one in the flesh before. All for $415. Kinda cool.
I should have bought it.

BiebsMike, we need to forgive the "unwashed", for they know not of what they speak.

Good point, it is so much more than a mere rifle.

factory engraved on the mag floor plate.

jens poulsenAs much as I love Classic M98 rifles and double in British calibers from yesteryear I think the Blaser is a blow of fresh air. Do I have one?. Nope!. We must not forget there was a time when repeting rifles was looked down upon and only a side-by-side double was the only "real" deal among true sportsmen. The time changes....

I'm with you. Read somewhere recently that Blaser is now the largest selling rifle outside the USA. Never tried one but would like to.
The hunting imperative was part of every man's soul; some denied or suppressed it, others diverted it into less blatantly violent avenues of expression, wielding clubs on the golf course or racquets on the court, substituting a little white ball for the prey of flesh and blood.

BiebsI have contacts, and can arrange a great deal on a Blaser of your choice, for anyone wanting to step over into the "Dark Side" :-)

butchlambertThey are probably a good rifle, but I would rather have a nice looking rifle that will also kill the animal.
22 April 2014, 08:11
BiebsActually, there are different grades that make the rifle quite attractive as well

You call that attractive? Pretty wood carved in the shape and form of a turd is still lipstick on a pig.
I guess a bucket of assholes looked attractive to Rock Hudson too!
That is one U-G-L-Y abomination of a shooting piece!

and don't forget ...

Beretta682EHaving handled and shot Biebs blaser in Burkina I was much impressed with the gun.
It is solid - had a nice weight to it.
Its a blaser so i assume it is super accurate.
It breaks down and takes multiple barrels - so you can travel with s spare scope and calibre with you.
Looks good - if we are talking ugly I would look at Ruger's new guide gun - why give a rifle a paddle as a butt stock is beyond me.
The detachable trigger and the cocking mechanism is great. Finally a fast quick way to make sure your gun is 100 percent safe handing it to trackers to store on the truck. The triggers fits nicely in ones shirt pocket.
I need to buy one more rifle as a spare/second rifle to my ahr cz and i most likely will get a blaser.
Biebs sold me on the future.

AtkinsonMy goodness, that is the only gun I have ever seen that got uglier as they improved it..

Jans they are a bit of fresh air but its coming out the wrong end~

But in the spirit of forgivness I will almost forgive those who are compelled to squander thier hard earned money on such trivia as a blazer!
Ok, I've had my fun, to each his own and enjoy.

I would agree if the barrels weren't so damn expensive!
The excessive cost makes an ugly rifle even uglier!

Beretta682EBeauty is in the eye of the beholder. Can't beat the functionality of a blaser. I don't own one but its the next hunting rifle rifle I buy (not counting impluse purchases of left handed rugers, other misc guns).
To all those tied up on aesthetics and looks. From the New York Times.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06...n/26CRITIC.html?_r=0"It is a strange romance of conspicuous consumption that Beretta indulges, but rich guys apparently love dressing up like Ernest Hemingway and shooting things just as much as little girls love to wear tutus and dance around like prima ballerinas."

Beretta682EOn my blaser I will get a gold engraved bolt like Biebs has - looks very classy.

customboltI'd take a K95 Luxus. But, R-8's and R-93's......eh. Not for me. Too clickity for my taste. Whatever makes you happy. I met a younger fellow once that showed me his deceased Grandpa's workshop & collection of minty 98's. There were minty 09 Argy's 08 Brazilians and banners lined up along the wall in a corner next to 40 or 50 stepped barrels and beat up and sawed off parts strewn about. He said here's what I shoot and there was a taped up worn old Mauser with all the bluing worn off with an 18 inch barrel and a beat up cut down military stock and he was just grinning from ear to ear. Oh sorry. Got carried away a bit. Back to the Blaser roast.

Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can.

Those are both "Butt Ugly", but, a little penance here. As for me to each his own. I once knew a guy who used to get his rocks off letting someone throw tennis balls at his azz; whatever turns you on, just not for me.
