Ironic you posted this--have a friend who is interested in getting one..stated he sees them quite often in hunting camps/...have looked at one myself..curious how they would be in a quick firing response to dangerous game..

I have seen many in camp as well when I guided. They are intriguing to the globe trotting hunter.
Many of these men (a few women as well) are very, very good at what they do for a living. This usually has nothing to do with riflecraft. They have have the disposable income to buy a Blaser that fulfills there desire of high-tech. Most I have guided had a 300win(or WBY) with a 416rem barrel. Some had a light caliber (22-250, 243win) as well.

15 or so years ago when Blaser made a BIG push for the US market, there 93's became "american-ized" and all the major hunting clubs/organizations (B&C, SCI, Dallas Safari, RMEF, etc....) got plenty of them for fundraising practices. They became fashionable to own.

I have owned them, used many of them, like there high-tech, like there forward thinking....blah, blah, blah.......But I don't "like" them. To me that are enough mis-shapen to have a ton of recoil. Moderate chamberings pummel me and big ones......yikes, no thanks.
