Regarding negative comments on the Blaser breech system:
“Well at least the cartridge heads won't get wet when you load it in the rain.”

“Where do they find their designers ??? “

“That is a very strange contraption.”

“the dust cover extension thingy over the chambers is a little odd, maybe one of you gents with more experience can explain that “

“Hideous - money could be better invested in an old British DR!”

“the floating breach can be removed easily. Just be damn sure you don't toggle the lever accidentally. The breach block can and will fall out. V. embarrassing! “

ACTUALLY, THE BLASER TILTING BREECH BLOCK SYSTEM IS CONSIDERABLY BETTER THAN THE UNINFORMED WOULD LEAD ONE TO BELIEVE. YES, IT MAY LOOK “STRANGE” TO THE UNINFORMED, BUT IT CERTAINLY ISN'T A “CONTRAPTION.” IT ISN'T HIDEOUS EITHER, EXCEPT IN THE EYES OF THE UNINFORMED. MAY I SUGGEST THAT YOU ALL EDUCATE YOURSELF FIRST, DO A BIT OF READING, BEFORE CRITISIZING SOMETHING YOU DONT' UNDERSTAND?

What we have here, with the Blaser tilting block system, is a historically old , early design, by one of the most gifted gun designers ever, Jaeger of Germany. It is perhaps the strongest design EVER, for double rifles. It allows for the solid steel block to lock directly onto the barrels, so that all breech pressure forces are contained within that barrel/block assembly; not requiring the action standing breech itself to contain any pressure forces, so wear, and failure problems, associated with the underlump hook and barrels coming off face are decreased tremendously. This system will allow for chambering much higher breech pressure cartridges, than will the more traditional system. A Ferlach Austria gunmaker, Scheiring, chambered the .300 Pegasus (87,000 psi) on a double rifle using this Jaeger system, without a problem. Try that on your traditional double rifle bolting system! I have nothing to do with Blaser, but I did spend a good amount of time studying various double gun/rifle systems of the world. Seems to me that before you begin to criticize something only because it looks odd or different, you first need to try to understand it.
