Did it deserve the \"Rifle of the Century\"[/b] There are absolute horror stories about both the 75 stainless lightweights and also the Blazers coming apart (recent nasty story about a 93 bolt coming through the side of a shooters jaw in Germany) . How factual is internet-info - no doubt some is correct and some is bull-droppings. Pretty hard to dispute when there are photos with a rifle in pieces tho. I get the willies when I close the bolt of an R-93 and think about how much metal (and the collet design) that is holding the bolt shut during 50-60,000 pounds of chamber pressure.
