[QUOTE="Blaser Boy, post: 646612, member: 43220"] [b]Re: Blaser r93 - is it accurate. Did it deserve the "Rifle of the Century"[/b] aaaarrrrrrrrrhhhhhH ........... Now see, that's what happens when you don't hit the delete thread button ! Chris, I addressed ALL of your points, but as you have crafted a sensible and insult free reply, I am going to through caution to the wind, and have one more go. The Blaser Tac did go through the normal ADF adoption criteria, and no problems were detected. In fact, it did extremely well with regards accuracy and durability. However, the "regiment" that uses the TAC, gets what ever they like ( within reason ) when ever they like. I'm afraid the PIG ( M60 ) was a little before my time, but given the ADF's purchase of refurbed M1 Abrams ( about as useful as an ashtray on a motor bike and you'll get them in 10 years time ) I would concede, these individuals do have form. With regards to minority users, I would point out, that the Canadian Army uses McMillan's of all things, and it does not appear to hinder there operation. There are currently eleven Army's ( not police forces ) using Tac 2. Ops, Ops, ******* Ops ....... there's another fact. Who drinks Fosters ??? only Poms and tourists. Not valid, move on. Blasers statistically, are no more safe or dangerous than any other firearm. All firearms have there positive and negatives aspects. Blaser R93 is now the highest selling sporting firearm in Europe, of all time. Ops, Ops Fact ! They must have done something right. If design engineers and technical developer do not further and push the envelope. We would all still be using Rem 700's, and still be thinking, that "They the ****" ( There's another, delete twenty threads right there ) I have used / tested most of the firearms you have listed, including one very special DSR ( think about it ) all of them have there good, and bad points. I would not say any of them, are any better than my Blaser, for my particular application. Now the Swazi man ( I have read book ) ...... I think it was most generous of Blaser to give the Swazi Man a bottle wine, considering that, that particular incident was caused by a barrel obstruction ! ( some say it was wool ) I just get a little ****ed off, when so called experts, or German gunsmiths, get on a forum, and shoot there mouth off, about a respected German trading company. Particularly, when his disciples jump in on the bashing and he pushes Howa rifles as a creditable tactical or competition option. And I know, that not even you would swallow that one ! I wounder what his drinking buddies think of him now ........:D Kind Regards Blaser Boy. [/QUOTE]
