Re: Blaser Rifles:Are they more marketing than engineering?

Wasn't that much difference in price between a Mauser M03 and Blaser R93 when I bought mine. I wanted a 22LR kit and the blaser was a few hundred grams lighter. That is what gave the blaser the nod.
However I love my K95 and BBF97 even more. If I'd bought them first I'd not bought the R93.
I got mine at the time relatively cheap. The Qld dealer was selling his own rifle and offered me all the extra bits at pretty much wholesale price.
You would know the name of the dealer at the time.
I might have gone for an R8 if the price was right. I still don't like the removable combined trigger and magazine.
As I posted earlier i would consider a Blaser single shot. But would compare them to a number of other German, Austrian and Euro makers. Not in the market currently anyway.
