[QUOTE="ds, post: 61446, member: 3050"] [b]Re: Blaser r93 - is it accurate. Did it deserve the \"Rifle of the Century\"[/b] Hi Davyd, I had a Blaser LRS2 in 6.5x55. 1. It was accurate. MOA to 1000m ten shot group. 2. You could take the barrel off, replace it and shoot same POI. 3. No it was not robust when compared to say an Accuracy International. 3. There are better custum options, for the same money, eg RPA Interceptor, or in your part of the world something on a Millenium or Barnard action. Main issues with the Blaser are the lack of a secondary lock, if the expanding shell blows you eat the bolt. At least with a conventional action you get a rear lug as on Mauser actions or the bolt handel in a recess. Also on a conventional action you can get a custum barrel made to what you want. With Blaser you are stuck with factory barrels but there is a good range of calibers. The guarantee is 10 years but they say not to use hand loads. After having one I would not go back to the Blaser action. Hope it helps, David. [/QUOTE]
