[QUOTE="davyd, post: 61439, member: 3770"] [b]Blaser r93 - is it accurate. Did it deserve the \"Rifle of the Century\"[/b] I would appreciate informed views I am looking at a Blaser R93 intially with .223 Match Barrel in professional stock. I am hearing a mix of views on wheter this is a good route. Would appreciate answers on 1. Is it accurate? i.e consitently sub moa with match and standard profile barrels (the store indicates that a standard barrel will give significantly sub moa with lighter weight and reduced cost) 2. Can it take down and set up with really negligable chnage of impact? 3. Is it robust? 4. Are there better equivalent price options? My Situation In Melbourne Austrralia, typically going varminting on bunnies. Currently have Remmington VS.223 which I use Remmington Accutips with and is more accurate than I am. Nailing a Rabbit first shot at 480 paces a couple of weeks ago. That is probably about as far as I will be likely to shoot. I don't want to lose that accuracy - but - it is heavy to do offhand shots when you walk up on top of a bunny - dominates the back of the car when travelling with the family and is also not discrete - in Australia Guns are not advertised - is a little heavy for lugging around all day - I also like the idea of getting one good system and scope - and then swapping barrels as my needs change. And being able to travel with effecitively multiple calibres in one rifle with limited space. Would appreciate tapping into the collective wisdom [/QUOTE]
