Hi evan,
Well I have only shot a couple of them, in fact I helped out a dealer friend with a little test. He got 2 brand new 93's and set up a scope on one of them, bore sighted it and then we did the final zero at 200 yards. Next we took the whole mount off one rifle and put it on the other rifle and fired that again at 200 yards, the POA hardley moved, if I remember correctly it was about 2" difference but it may have been even less, anyway it was still in the bull on the 200 yard target, both rifle were chambered for .308 and we were using feaderla American Eagle ammo.
As for the operation ................. well I have a couple of straight pull rifles, an old Steyr M95 and a Mauser M96 (1996) and I really do want a Ross M10 or model 1910 in .280 Ross
.
Now not all the styles of fittings on the 93 Blaser grabs me, that germanis or Bavarian style is a bit angular for me. I friend has just brought one after getting rid of his Sauer model 202 as to be honest the accuracy was very mediocre to say the least. beautiful looking rifle with stunning wod however 2" was an average group size and walt is an excellent shot. Have yet to see the rifle in the flesh
Now with a more conservative styled stock set and mild engraving on the action, they are rather nice to look at, some folks gibe at the 3 shot magazine but in a hunting rifle how often do you need more than one shot? As for the overall styling .............. well can you honestly say that some of the American designed rifles really look better? For instane Savage have only recently really restyled their rifles to be much improved, how can anyone really say the old 340 is styled well. The Remington 722 left an awful lot tb be desired and the new 710 well the less said the better
