BTW for any guys thinking I am unfair to the Blaser rifles. I actually dislike most of these new crap modern German and Euro rifle designs. Most of these new straight pull rifle designs are simply aweful.

The Mauser M03 and the Sauer 202 are the exceptions in my opinion, and worth owning and using. I went for a Mauser ,M03 because I had used one previously and I didn't mind it. Also the rifle was offered to me at an attractive price. And all the barrels, mounts, bolt bits and mags at more or less wholesale price. A small margin. By the dealer in Queensland, no longer in business. The rifle I purchased was his own rifle.

I would have preferred at the time a Sauer, but not for two to three thousand doillars more.
