[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Something Different

Here's something a little different from the usual on this forum - a Blaser R8. I bought one recently as my main hunting and long range rifle - here's a short video overview of the rifle and some shooting on my first range trip.

I had a good laugh at your bag getting jacked. Nice stick, but it looks funny to me.

Very cool video. Not sure I could get used to pulling the bolt back like that!

Wow...that looks awesome. Crazy how the trigger comes out with the mag, and that locking system is really neat. Actually I liked pretty much everything you showed, the quick change barrel, quick change scope mount...all that stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks.. It actually doesn't take long at all to get used to, weirdly.

Few things.

1.. Thanks for posting
2.. I could really get used to that style of action. I bet there would be a call for this if more Americans actually tried this..
3.. That little effing bird must be your version of the American Raven!!!

4.. 6.5X55!!!! Nice
