My favorite hunting rifle.

Click to expand...

Sure, but it's not ideally suited for most hunting applications. The rifle I climb mountains in wyoming with doesn't resemble my coyote rifles, which don't resemble my deer stand rifles, etc. I was thinking about buying one, (still thinking about it), but I just couldn't figure out what I would do with it other than slap steel casually. I just don't see it as well suited to any of my hunting applications. Mileage certainly varies.

Also, where is your suppressor?

Can vouch it’s an amazing watch for anyone who’s looking. I love mine.

The integrated AB is easy to use.

Weight?

It was the last 32 lbs, in my defense.

Anyone have this scope yet and tried it out?

Blaser manufactures one of the most accurate sniper/target rifles ever made and it is straight pull.

The Blaser R93 is a straight-pull action precision rifle offered in a multitude of calibers and barrel lengths manufactured by the German firearms manufacturer Blaser. Designed by Blasers' designer Mr. Meinhard Zeh in 1993, it had a number of features rare on modern hunting rifles, including a manual cocking system and a proprietary Blaser saddle scope mount[ for mounting the optic directly to the quick-change barrel.


The Blaser R93 is a truly modular system built around an aluminum alloy frame, offering differing stocks and barrels varying length and thickness available in chamberings from .22 LR to .375 H&H Magnum/.416 Remington Magnum/.458 Winchester Magnum size.
The barrel has a quick-change design which lets the user switch barrels using two screws and a hex key. Different bolt heads for different groups of calibers and magazine inserts are also user changeable, making the Blaser R93 a modular firearm capable of using a multitude of calibers in its chassis.
The rifle has a shorter overall length compared to more traditional designs due to the trigger being placed under the magazine. The rifle also has a reputation for being easy to disassemble and reassemble which can be an advantage when doing maintenance or during travelling, and has a reputation for having a repeatable zero upon reassembly. The Blaser R93 Tactical is a German bolt action sniper rifle, based on the Blaser R93 design. It has as variants the Blaser LRS 2 and Tactical 2. It is used by German and Dutch police forces as well as the Australian military and special police units. The rifles were manufactured by the German firearms manufacturer Blaser.

Have you tried Norma? This stuff has been solid for the price. Good enough for practice for me.

I haven’t but I’ve considered it.

Yeah, the whole "official rifle" thing is about the money, but the nice thing is it may signal a transition in the focus of AI. That might be interesting.

Oh and don't forget to use grafite neck lube, that's the good stuff.

One small speck, one giant mess for mankind.

You could use cheap disposable cotton (inspection) gloves or nitrile gloves if skin contact is a concern.

As far as breathing in chemicals I stay away from harsh voc type stuff because of previous lung damage.

I tumble Nu Finish a small amount of oderless mineral spirits and wallnut. The wet ingredients kill the dust associated with dry tumble.

Clean and shiny brass with no perceptible odors use the spirits and wax in moderation and they build up in the media so less needed over time.

Getting necks spotless will require lube of some kind, grafite is the best in my opinion but comes with a learning curve on use.

You will know what I mean if you have read Dr Seuss thing one and thing two cleaning up a spill.

Keep calm and reload.

I had a thread in the last year or so asking about why people love the AI so much, because it is too heavy to carry anywhere hunting, or at least it's a bad option for long walks, or climbing mountains. And then, even the most diehard fans were all willing to admit that it wasn't a good prs option either for a handful of reasons, but foremost the action itself. I'm surprised to see this, but I hope they blow some life into the organization somehow. Seems like people are losing interest on a grand scale with prs.

My favorite hunting rifle.

Straight pull is theoretically better but the problem is nothing is standard and most aren't built for true precision.

You are essentially an early adopter with any of them but Blazer and they are purely hunting based.

I understand, assembling the parts is only half of the process. Getting everything to play together properly is the other half.

I have some aluminum mags I am going to try.

Man, I really hope that I wasn't coming across as an a$$. It's just a peeve of mine. I totally understand that there are some guys that really do learn by doing and experience is their teacher. I kind of fall into this category, but once I realized how much I didn't even know what I didn't know, I got a book and read it from cover to cover. Once you can visualize all of it in your head, that's when it becomes tinker toys.

Look, for a 300BO rig, assuming that you don't want to use an adjustable gas block, I've found that an ideal place to be with a standard can is to tune the rig to run just right with supers, but just slightly undergassed with subs, meaning that it will cycle, but the bolt won't always lock back on empty. This way, it'll run good with supers, but when you add the can, the added pressure from the can will have it running right suppressed with subs.

Let's just assume that bolt carrier group and gas block are right. That would leave the size of your gas port in question. If you have a selection of drill bits, just move the gas block to the side, or whatever, and find a drill bit that fits snugly in the gas port hole. Now, measure that with a caliper or micrometer. What's your measurement? If memory serves, it should be around .095 or so; UNLESS you got a barrel ported for subs to be run suppressed, in which case, it's gonna do what you described when shooting subs unsuppressed.

Honestly, the sweetest and most versatile running rig I've put together was a 10" with the gas port at .1 and running a RifleSpeed gas block to tame the gas.

In any case, before you go drilling anything, try running one round in a true 300bo mag and see what happens. Actually, when running the one round in the mag, it shouldn't matter what mag you use. We just need to confirm undergassing. BTW, do this with the standard buffer. Or and H1. The H3 is getting a little heavy.
