Quote: Hi Ripp: K95 = .270 Winchester R93 = .300 Win Mag + .375 H&H bbl R8 = 9.3x62 All three are accurate to a point that most wouldn't believe me unless they saw it with their own eyes. The K95 is really wonderful and is my favorite Blaser and it is a keeper. The R93 suffered from the occasional "click" when it's supposed to go bang like so many other R93s are reported to suffer from if one researches around in the Internet but it is slender and has the magical feel of the K95 albeit slightly heavier. The R8 was also rediculously accurate but it wouldn't digest anything but factory ammo. It took a piece of firewood to hammer the bolt closed with reloads no matter what trickery i applied drawing from my fairly considerable bag of reloading tricks.(not trying to brag - just been at it a long time). The R8 had a heavier almost blocky feel in comparison to the R93. I no longer own the R93 nor the R8. They were both incredibly accurate but I sent them on down the road given their issues that I just could no longer tolerate. Pity, because I really like the concept, and I absolutely loved the feel of the R93. Had it behaved differently, it would have most surely have become one of my most cherished rifles, I do pray that your experience with yours is more positive than mine. If it proves out to be reliable for you, it would make one of the finest safari rifles out there. They break down beautifully for travel and the accuracy, oh my, the accuracy is truly astounding!! All the best, Postman P.s. What country are you booked to hunt come January? |
