    Price aside for one moment. If you dont like the Blaser R8 its because you dont want to like it.

    Thanks for a great review, I'm lucky to have the Blaser R8 Ultimate 308W with Swarovski Z8i 2-16x50p ready for dear hunting next weekend here in Norway.

    I have 3 tikka t3 supervarmints, all in GRS stocks.
    A mate has a blaser r8 Pro success with 3 barrels. The blaser and barrels work out about the same cost as my 3 all set up, wish I'd gone blaser from the start 🤦‍♂️
    Other benefits, if we are out stalking then shooting foxes after dark, he only needs to leave a barrel in the car, I have to leave my foxing rifle in the car (minus bolt and mag).
    If you are just starting out and are planning on getting a few rifes, it would be worth the initial outlay for a blaser for sure👍🏻

    Looks fantastic, I’d personally be more inclined to go for the calibre set, as I have with the Cz, rather than buy just one specific calibre, I can really see how the modularity is a plus, great review as always (Andy Small)

      @chrisparkin431  Год назад +2

      CZ Calibre sets are also a great range and in fairness, for rimfire shooters a great option that I use myself. This is really one for the Blaser fans with Blaser pockets but a very dedicated approach to solving the inherent challenges of a small cartridge in a large rifle

    I'm so happy they offer options for 17 hmr and 22 wmr now. Already got the 22 LR kit so I just need the barrels with inserts - expensive though. Noticed they also offer 17 hornet and 22 hornet now. Very interesting.

      I had one 7-8? years ago, the rifle was a Savage B-mag? and although accurate, quite awful in every other regard. I gave the ammo away after the review was done and I think the same shop still has it, they never sold well and I have never seen one since either in a shop, at a show or even in a brochure/flyer.
