AFRICAN LEADWOODBlaser BL820 falling block
Do any of you have a BL820 falling block? I've seen something about this for the first time and I'd like to know more. Any idea as to weight, accuracy or any other comments?
The few pictures I could find looked nice, if very "European" in style (understandably). I suppose it would be described in the literature as "Teuntonic".
Thanks for any replies.
AL, the BL820 was a falling block rifle that Blaser stopped production on in 1990. They looked something like a Heeren rifle. I've never seen one, but love the K95 rifle that is available now. A see a K-95 Stutzen in my future :-)

BL820 rifles are also rare here in Germany.

jaegerfrankIn Germany/Austria they have a very good reputation and are selling very well on the used market. Blaser stopped them because of high manufacturing cost, not much of them have been made.
