Hello I'm new to this forum... I'm looking for insight on the Blaser O/U BB97 in either 30-06 or 45-70. Its basically out of my reach to run and buy but I am thinking of letting go of a couple rifles to get into a Double and this one has caught my eye. My use would be Deer and an occasional black bear hunt. As of now its just a thought but possibly may be a reality. so... any info would be great! :) thanks in advance...
 
The Blaser BB97 is a fine double rifle and a fairly rare one on this side of the Atlantic. You can get a nearly new used basic model for $4 - 6K in 30-06. I am pretty sure that Blaser doesn't chamber anything at all in 45-70. I believe the BB97 is offered in 9.3x74R in OU double rifle configuration which is a fine load for heavy North American game like bear, and still makes a great woods rifle for deer and elk. Of course the 30-06 isn't real shabby in that role either. Like all modern Blasers, it is easily scoped with their detachable mount.
 
Yep your right I got my wires crossed on a sabatti 45-70 I saw on gunbroker. But from what I have read about sabatti leads me to believe unless I can handle it and inspect it in person it isnt worth the possible headache. and even then... If I buy something like this I would like to buy once and cry once.
 
Blaser and Sabatti are very different things.
 
The Blaser is a fine instrument - if you like an over/under built on a 20ga action.

Personally, I prefer a 28ga action for a small double. They just feel better to me.

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
