I’m interested in finding out as much as I can about the Blaser K95. I wish I could get to BlaserPro because I’ve heard they have a lot of info on this rifle. But, though I’m from Texas, for most of the year I work overseas in a country that attempts to block all gun related sites. Luckily, a few like this one slip though.

I’m considering a Blaser K95 as part of a take-down traveling hunting battery to use when I retire in just a few more years. I yearn for the classic rimmed cartridges like 6.5x57R for deer and antelope and 7x65R for elk. But I worry about flying in somewhere to find that my ammo had flown somewhere else. So I’m thinking that in the U.S., 6.5x55 Swede is more popular than either of the previously named rimmed cartridges and .270 is universally available. I could plan to use the 6.5x55 for deer and antelope and the .270 for elk. But if my ammo went astray in BFE I could use the .270 barrel for everything. I would go 30-06 for the second barrel for maximum availability, but can’t imagine enjoying setting off a 180 gr ’06 elk load in a rifle that only weight a bit over 6-1/2 lbs complete with scope.

Mostly I don’t trust rimless extractors on break open rifles, but have heard that the Blaser K95 is an exception.

Can someone either post here or email to me some close-up photos of the rimless extractor set up for the K95.

Can some of you who own and/or shoot K95’s in rimless calibers discuss any pro’s or con’s of K95’s in these rimless calibers?
