[QUOTE="Blaser Boy, post: 646397, member: 43220"] [b]Re: Blaser r93 - is it accurate. Did it deserve the "Rifle of the Century"[/b] Oh dear ......... Chris, I am always amused when a reply to a post starts with a personal insult. A: It gives a good indication of the country the reply is coming from. B: It also provides a indication of the poster's character, personality and general intellect, or lack there off. At this point. I usually hit the delete button, and move on to the next post or subject. But as your a Kiwi, I have decided to give you the benefit of my 30+ years of employment, with Australia's largest military contractor. That's right little buddy, the company that refurbed the Aussie Skyhawks before selling them to the NZ Air Force. The company that built the ANZAC class frigates for the NZ Navy. And the very same company that supplies small arms and ammunition to the NZ Army. Now lets start with some of your rantings. 1. Were you present, at the destruction of any of your above mentioned firearms ? What NO, I didn't think so ........ You see for every lame, uninformed quote that you can trot out, I can provide factual evidence of the exact opposite. Look up the Swedish army's small arms destruction tests on YouTube. In said test, half of the conventional bolt action rifles are destroyed, the Blaser R93 was not one them. I am also aware of the Raufoss round failure in the AI ..... would you like some footage of the testing ? 2. "The **** weapons the Aussies adopted" ...... that ones a bit rich isn't it ! I seem to recollect, excluding the above examples already provided, that the NZDF, adopts the same weapons as the ADF ...... something to do with the ANZUS treaty may be ??? And further more, NZ purchases are usually tacked on to the end of an Australian contract and or licence agreement. AUS steyr ring any bells. So if you want **** weapons, just hang about, because the NZDF buy ours when where finished with them. 3. Now the Howas. I'm well aware of the history of Howa, it's predecessor, the CMC Mountaineer and the Sako L series, that the Howa's have been alleged to be copied from. When I purchase a firearm, the last consideration is price. Price is what makes them attractive to gunsmiths as a base rifle, and I would hardly consider a one piece bolt as a rifles strong point. Now Chris, I would be most grateful if you did not reply to this post ..... as then, I would be able to continue on, in my perfect Blaser world, safe and secure in the knowledge, that I have provided, yet another dumb as dog **** Kiwi with just a slither of hope, that one day they may make it out of the third world ........... Take my advise, find a nice sheep, and settle down ...... and stay the **** off the Internet and forums. gun) Kind Regards Blaser Boy [/QUOTE]
