    Blaser Tactical 2 (LRS 2, R93, R8) Loads

    Raising the cheek-weld on the R8 is a small issue I am having with my R8 Pro. Nothing too bad, but the quick adjustment of the BOAR does seem nice. TTR

    Blaser Tactical 2 (LRS 2, R93, R8) Loads

    Looking at the system, that is what I assumed. I appreciate the feedback. TTR

    RO Bushnell Brawl, Thank You Sponsors

    It was our pleasure. We really are shooters over here and when RO reached out, we were both excited and flattered. The videos above are very cool. As for the poster who had his bullets come in too long, holy smokes! I would have been been freaking out! Keep the pictures and videos...

    FN Ballista

    I Heard from a little bird that FNH was trying to get the SCAR SSR through BATFE compliance for 2015. Not sure if that is something that will hurt or help Ballista release. Some of my local dealers have been given prices for that and said they don't think they would actually see any real...

    carbon fiber stocks from evil empire

    I will second the VTB said. I am talking to them about making an R8 stock. The fact is I would need to have them build a stock and ship to to me without the recover in it. And then make arraignments to have my own R8 dropped in. I am curious, I also have a Tac 2. What configurations would...

    Blaser Tactical 2 (LRS 2, R93, R8) Loads

    I have to admit, I am seeing A LOT of Mauser / Blaser similarities. If someone really doesn't like the straight-pull design, the Mauser really does a good job filing that void. I do question what kind of repeatable accuracy the Mauser gets when compared to the Blaser because one is adding a...

    Can you buy a Blaser stripped action?

    Do you think Christensen would consider a more "target" style stock in CF? TTR

    Blaser Tactical 2 (LRS 2, R93, R8) Loads

    I have been looking into having a 5.56 Tactical 2 barrel hogged out to 6.5x55 (Swede). And I am looking at putting an Atlas Bi-pod on my R8. TTR

    carbon fiber stocks from evil empire

    I realize you would need to build an entire new mold, but I am very interested you making this stock for the R8 one day. Another datapoint to consider is Blaser has confined to me they have no intuition of making a LRS stock for the R8 line. Since I run a synthetic R8, I am looking for an R8...

    Caliber selection for a 1600m+ rifle

    I'm not a ELR guy. But I am looking at this as a "someday", and after much thought, I decided on 300WM for me. At least to start. It's not just what the 300WM can do at longer ranges, trigger time is trigger time, and 300WM makes more sense from 600-out to 1500ish. Even working on...

    SIG SAUER SSG 3000

    Reaching. You could contact EURO-Optics in PA. They are a bid dealer. You could call Blaser / SAUER in Texas and see if they can do something. Maybe SIG in the North East, but I am not sure if you actually talking about a SAUER rifle or not. TTR

    Is this a damaged crown?

    I agree with that. If it's not a burr over the opening, I would ignore it. If the rifle shoots like a dream, I would DEFIANTLY not touch it. TTR

    1941 Model 70 value?

    I would sell it. Unless you have a need or appreciation for something you won't use, flip it and put money into something you will shoot. My advise is worth what you paid for it. TTR

    Blaser Tactical 2 (LRS 2, R93, R8) Loads

    7.5 Swiss GP 11 Anybody have any experience with this round in a Blaser? R93 or R8? If so, can you share your experiences? I have heard some competition shooters in Europe run the 7.5 since the GP 11 is supposedly loaded to match quality? If that is true, I am loving the prices I am...

    STOLEN RIFLE - 1/19/2014 (Oregon City, Oregon)

    HW, I have read your post a few times and I am confused by what you are trying to say. But....I think I know what you are trying to say. And I can't disagree. Nothing is certain. From a law enforcement standpoint, I am somewhat familiar with stolen gun issues and the record I have seen was...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Colt USMC .45 CQB Any thoughts?

    The pistol mentioned has 3 concerns: 1. It's a 1911 and 1911s, IMO, are not good production guns. I carried one for work, and serviced them, for 12 years so I am confident in my feelings there. 2. This is a special 1911 that has more collector appeal than practical appeal. 3. If you shoot...

    What rifle is this?

    No. That would be surfing youtube for certain makes of a rifle only to realize at some point you are watching airsoft reviews? WTF? TTR

    STOLEN RIFLE - 1/19/2014 (Oregon City, Oregon)

    This one would be easy to find once it starts moving. We might even make a post in our next mailing list since there are quality pics and contact info in one JPEG. TTR

    Light 50 BMG?

    OK. That changes things. I will take you at face value on that. You are looking for certain ammunition configurations. 50 is pretty much where your specs will be met. Regards, TTR
