I’m interested in finding out as much as I can about the Blaser K95. I wish I could get to BlaserPro because I’ve heard they have a lot of info on this rifle. But, though I’m from Texas, for most of the year I work overseas in a country that attempts to block all gun related sites. Luckily, a few like this one slip though.

I’m considering a Blaser K95 as part of a take-down traveling hunting battery to use when I retire in just a few more years. I yearn for the classic rimmed cartridges like 6.5x57R for deer and antelope and 7x65R for elk. But I worry about flying in somewhere to find that my ammo had flown somewhere else. So I’m thinking that in the U.S., 6.5x55 Swede is more popular than either of the previously named rimmed cartridges and .270 is universally available. I could plan to use the 6.5x55 for deer and antelope and the .270 for elk. But if my ammo went astray in BFE I could use the .270 barrel for everything. I would go 30-06 for the second barrel for maximum availability, but can’t imagine enjoying setting off a 180 gr ’06 elk load in a rifle that only weight a bit over 6-1/2 lbs complete with scope.

Mostly I don’t trust rimless extractors on break open rifles, but have heard that the Blaser K95 is an exception.

Can someone either post here or email to me some close-up photos of the rimless extractor set up for the K95.

Can some of you who own and/or shoot K95’s in rimless calibers discuss any pro’s or con’s of K95’s in these rimless calibers?

Research my previous posts on my K 95 Stutzen in 308 WCF.

It is one of the most accurate hunting rifles I have ever fired.

I have had no extraction problems.

I do not fine the recoil of the 308 to be a problem in the K 95.

For a 2 barreled set I think the 30-06 would be a better choice for elk than the 270.

I don't have the ability to post a photo but can tell you that I have both the rimless (270) and the rimmed (9.3x74R) variants. Both are flawless. They have proven to be the most trouble free, accurate out of the box rifles that I've ever shot (with the possible exception of the Blaser 93). Triggers are excellent and the accuracy is worth the expense.

Cliff,

All,

How much are extra barrels for K95's? I would think that the 30-06 would kick like a mule in such a light rifle. Anybody shot a K-95 '06 with a heavy 180 gr elk load? I absolutely can't imagine one of these in 9.3x74R.

Ballpark what is the U.S. street price of a new standard grade K95?

Like I said before, I would love to go with classic calibers like 6.5x57R and 7x65R that would be trouble free in any break open single. But since I see this as my go to traveling non-dangerous game rifle my practical side sees that sooner or later I'll get somewhere less the luggage my ammo is in and wish I was packing a .270 or '06. So I want to see close us of how the K95 rimless extractor works to reassure myself that it is to be trusted.

If you want to see a really bad example of a rimless adaptation of a break barrel rimmed extractor take a look at the BRNO Effect in a rimless caliber.

I have shot several 180gr factory loads in my little 308 and do not find the recoil bad.

Also by the time you add even a light weight scope you are looking at at least a pound to a pound and a half.

A 25-06 and a 30-06 would make a good combo.

However I find the 308 just about perfect for any game I would hunt with a single shot rifle.

I have taken turkey, deer, wild pigs, and a black bear with my K 95.

We have two K95s, and five barrels. 10.3x60R, 30-06, 243 (x2), and 222. I have never shot the 10.3x60R as there isn't any ammo in the states for it, or more importantly .414 bullets so as I wait for my imported order of bullets to arrive I can only tell you how the other ones shot.

I have never had a problem with the rimless cartridges in the k95, and I will tell you while the 180 grain and 220 grain 30-06 loads kick they arenm't horrible. I would get a 308 or 30-06, and something exotic like a 6.5x57R if I were you. Then regardless you will always ve able to find ammo.

I know Aleko at Heritage arms has a 10,3x60R barrel for his Blaser R 93.

If I remember correctly he is shooting .412 bullets in it.

It is plenty accurate as i have shot it at 100 yards myself.

Also you might be able to get Hawk Bullets to make you some bullets of the correct diameter.

I have shot game with hawk bullets in my 9,3x74R and in my 450/400 with excellent results.

extractor issues is one thing, i didn't have any problems in my Baikal .222

but i consider pressure to be of more importance.
rimmed cartridges have lower pressures to insure that the lock won't get loose over time.

I have the only K-95 Stutzen in 6.5x55 ever produced. It shoots everything into sub .5 moa groups and is so consistent, it is scary.

You will have no trouble with rimmed or rimless cartridges in a K-95. With the straight stock, recoil is not bad in any of the cartridge offerings.

Check at BlaserPro, most of those guys are also here and a few more.

Dave I doubt it is the only one. They ship a lot of rifles to Scandanavia, and they like that cartridge very well.

A factory guy told me recently that mine was the first and so far only 6.5x55 in the Stutzen configuration. The standard K-95 has had that cartridge available for sometime.

BTW, still missing Wyoming?

Hi there. (My first post and my english is not what it used to be... Guess it never were So please bear with me!)
I have a K95 (standard) in 6,5x55, no problems with extraction. The original barrel is the unusual .22-250, did have some serious discussion with myself about what number 2 caliber to choose. An R-cartridge might seem to be the most "correct" pick, a 7x65R would probably be an excellent all-rounder? But I went for the familiar good-ol' 6,5x55. A wonderful versatile round, the long .264-bullets has always done their job in the game and they have excellent long-range capabillities. Ammunition and reloading components are easily found and fairly cheap in these parts of the woods, (since the 6,5x55 is the number 1 target-cartridge in Norway and Sweden.) I have not regretted my choise, maybe an R-cartridge is easier to handle with cold fingertips/gloves? but with some practise reloading goes smoothly even with the rimless.
The rifle itself is a dream come true. A joy to shoot and to carry. My former rifles all of sudden became long, heavy beasts! Accuracy is very good, favorite bullets so far are Lapua 108gr Scenar, Nosler 120gr BT and North Fork 140.
I had a gunsmith to put on a Decelerator 1", and to lower a pair of Leupold steel-rings in order to get the scope (Swaro. AV3-12x50) closer to the bore.
I'm very happy with the gun. A pure-bred hunting machine!

Welcome to AR.

Those K95's are sweet.

There is only one problem with Blaser rifles, does not matter if it is the R93, K95, or the combo guns, once you use one, they perform and handle so well they do tend to make everything else obsolete.

I have a K95 Stutzen in 7X57 Mauser (not rimmed). It shoots great, and I haven't had any extraction problems.

I love these, but I don't think I could ever take it out of a nitrogen filled glass case. That does not mean that I don't want one however.

Call Mark and ask him, he has yet to order it, if you read the text carefully, you will see that is the case. This listing has been on GunBroker for about two years. I have the only one to date, you can order it in 6.5x55, but no one else has so far with a Stutzen barrel.

Nice rifles, handled them at the SHOT show. Hard to put down
