[QUOTE="ChrisF, post: 646337, member: 1453"] [b]Re: Blaser r93 - is it accurate. Did it deserve the "Rifle of the Century"[/b] BB, You are a troll , are you a gun smith , Opps , maybe NO , their are comments from a Brit & German gunsmiths , both use to real mil weapons , both donot like them , and have put forward vaild reasons , as to why . If you actually look at the pics of the rifles that have blown up , the ONE thing that impresses me is that all rifles that are NOT Blasers , ie the Sako Finnlights & the AI AW50 , the action/bolt HELD , and did not let parts be driven rearward , the barrels split etc BUT the action HELD. The Sako problem was traced to the barrel lube used in making the barrels , effected around 200 rifles and Sako recalled them all ASAP , the AI issue was they think a fragment of cloth used to clean the barrel , that remained in the bore , and this set off the explosive projectle when fired . But you did not want to hear that , In the cases of the Blaser , the bolt did NOT hold , Opps , all the rifles failed , BUT only one design injuried or killed its owner , that for the termally blind was the Blaser 93 . And Mate , just because the Aussie army use it , does not meant its the best thing since sliced bread , they like others make mistakes ( Opps , will will not talk of the M60 GPMG and other **** weapons the Aussies have adopted over the years ) . If you are real interested in 338LM sniper rifles , you need to look at what MOST armies are using , and you will find , that its usually an AI AWSM or Sako TRG-42 . Also being a Fan Boy & owner you have a vested interest in defending your rifle , even when its crap . Also , IF you actually knew anything , you would know , a few things about the Howas , like they are very well made , the only bad thing you could say is they are not Lite , most also think of them very similar to a the old Sako actions , and most shooters LOVE the old Sakos , The bolts on the Howas , are also 1 piece , no handle of bolt head to come OFF . BUT you did not want to know that either , is its at odds with your prefect BLASER world you live IN . Later Chris [/QUOTE]
