Thanks for the review. I had an F16 4 years or so ago. Like yourself, I found the trigger pulls too light for me, no fault to the gun but it was not for me. Bought an XS Pro, found it much more to my liking and better spec by some margin.
It's all personal choice, I've had several Beretta, still have one, I've a couple browning, my main gun is a Blaser F3 with a beautiful grade 9 stock that insurance paid for after an accident break, I am now AA shot with the F3, as and when I can afford I may go for an F3 custom which is my dream gun, my F3 is amazing German Engineering, most guns don't come close, it patterns great, is so comfortable in the hand and recoil almost none existent, perfect
Nice video. I recently traded my Browning ProSport in for the same model F16 in 32". It is used , but recently serviced by Mulliners - and the action, trigger pulls etc are like a new gun. The wood is better than yours too, but I guess that is subjective... Compared to the Browning it's like chalk and cheese, F16 feels better balanced and much more natural in the hands for me. ProSport was good, but felt like the proverbial fence post in comparison. My F16 came without balancing weights and after I had adjusted the stock weight further forward it balances perfectly. It is still a touch over 8lbs though, which makes me think yours is a particularly light example? Oh and my scores have improved by 20%,. and the German aesthetics do appeal to me actually. Keep up the good work.
Is that the game version? My sporter is a bit heavier than that without the weights. Also, you should do a couple of stands without the shotkam to get a proper impression of a gun. Maybe get your hands on an engraved Blaser and see if it changes your mind.
Guess if you dislike those darned Blaser F16’s so much, I’m willing to take them off your hands - how’s 100 bucks American sound? I’ll pay the shipping. 😁
Use a blaser F16 for a few months and I can promise you it will become your main gun. Personally I love understated guns. The score is what I show off, not the gun. Time to change your opinion. Odd thing is some folks think they are ugly but I think it’s stunning 😂
Blaser nice gun but far to expensive for me . Browning XS Pro for me every time .* WOW * try the XT pro high rib Awesome . And you get every thing you need with them .
Great video as usual, good to see an honest report by someone who really knows about the product and actually puts it through its paces on the range. Well done Ed.
An entertaining video, as usual. I think the problem with Blasers is the handling. I would describe it as inert, or rather dead. They are much more reliable nowadays and well engineered with a simple design. As you say, they perform well, but with the price of an F3 topping £9,000.00 with an admittedly well figured grade 5 stock, they struggle to compete with Caesar Guerini in particular in the UK market.
I’ll agree with everything you’ve said about the F16 they are numb and boring if I was spending 5 grand I’d go to as Ceasar Guerini they don’t do anything for me in handling or looks
One man’s meat ! Had Berettas they felt like fence posts compared to my f16
Just had my F3 serviced after 17 years ,never had a miss fire or any problems at all much better then my previous DT10
I freaking love mine, some folks are more worried about showing off a gun than using it

Blasers also shoot game extremely well.😈😎
Have a F3 for over 10 years...Real work horse, from olimpic trap shooting, to bird and rabit hunting. No issues.

F16 is a Great Gun, but the f3 is so much better. Heavier and feels and Shoots even more comfortable.
"It balances absolutely beautifully!" Proceceds to not let go of the gun because it'll fall instantly lol

What shells are you using? Seems to be a lot of smoke
What make is the black range bag you are using in this film.
It is a Kryptec range bag

Not everyone likes deep ingraving on guns and personally I hate to much myself...

Very plain wood for a grade 4 a lot more guns out there for the same money.
The variety in wood throughout any manufacture can be so different
Fancy guns don't make u shoot any better
It is a fancy gun!
I had one and went back to a browning.completely soulless.
