That is one hideous rifle. Nothing against Blaser but I have always had a dislike for full stock rifles (to be honest this is better looking to me than 99% of most classic full stock rifles). Years ago I owned one of their LRS2s and it was a nice rifle, super accurate. The straight pull bolt is smooth and fast, just grab it and pull back until it stops and then shove it forward until it stops. The safety system is also nice, especially for a field gun, with the cocking/decocking system. I've been tempted to get another in standard R93 or R8 configuration but just have not been able to buy into them from a price standpoint, initial cost and barrel conversion just seems high to me. I'd rather go custom instead.
Now the Blaser shotguns? I'll never give up my F3. Well, if someone wants to give me a new K-80 Sporting or Pro Sporter for it then it's a done deal. Of course I'll just sell the K-80 to buy another F3 while pocketing the several thousand dollars that's left over.
