[QUOTE="ChrisF, post: 646544, member: 1453"] [b]Re: Blaser r93 - is it accurate. Did it deserve the "Rifle of the Century"[/b] I also forgot , as well as 3 or more Blaser93 bolw ups that caused injury or death , one Kiwi Hunter had a blow up , he was very lucky in that he was not hurt , most 93 blow ups actually have injuried the shooter involved . The shooter was a well known international hunter , who owns the Swazi clothing company , he has a need for compact take down type hunting rifles as he hunts all over the world . The Blaser93 was I think chambered in 300 Weatherby mag , and happened while hunting in Canada , I beleive , he had the barrel rapture on him . He thought Blaser would make right on it , ie replace etc , instead they offered a barrel for hme to buy & a cheap bottle of booze , NICE . He does not use a Blaser rifle any more . If you want more info on his experience of the Blaser 93 , he mentions it in his last hunting book , Opps another FACT . Later Chris [/QUOTE]
