Blaser drug problem….

May be a stupid question - Was it a MA bolt head or an ST bolt head fitted when you had the problem? I was advised to ALWAYS ensure that thy are matching. MA/MA or ST/ST etc. or problems may arise. Cheers John

I have a Blaser R8 Success (timber) and a one Makura Ulrich Takedown R93 and had a Blaser R93 Professional, zero problems encountered. I have owned many different rifles and would put the Blaser right up there with the best of them.

Recently sold a Blaser R93 Pro and three barrels and some other rifles, deciding on a timber stocked R8 Success for most hunting. Super portable, shoots well and handles great, however I was kind of blah on the stock shape as I generally like a more tradition stock. Surprised at just how good...

The 168 TTSX is a superb 30-06 bullet.

I bought a Bog Pod tripod and that was okay especially with my late 70's father shooting, helps him steady the rifle. I then bought the Fenris II quad sticks, worlds apart, culling feral goats out to 400m with 300Win in a Sendero weight Rem700, very very effective in tall grass. Now I am...

Just my take, I was recently hunting western Queensland, Australia & shot a small boar, maybe 35kg, quartering away at approximately 120m with Tikka Forest 30-06 150gr Super Hammerhead ammo (same bullet). Rear leg removed, full length body traversed and a dramatic exit through the left eye...

I have two Blaser R93, one is a green stocked Professional and the other is a Makura Ulrich Takedown with superb walnut stock. 25-06 with open sights, 30-06 with open sights, 7mm Rem Mag no sights and Magna-ported and 375 H&H with open sights and a Blaser radial brake. All have quick release...

Hi I have this bottom of the scope clearance issue with my Aimpoint 9000, I have two INNOmounts for my R93 with a 6x42 and 8x56 S&B, both have ample clearance in low 30mm rings. My Aimpoint has a fat belly and will NOT mount in low rings as it bells out on the mounting base. Cheers John

Based on one of the slickest actions ever, Husqvarna Carl Gustaf 1900. Certainly beautiful!

Totally agree Bob, I will hunt with cup & core non-bonded bullets in 30-06 class cartridges. I have a Barnes load for my Mauser and Blaser but do not regularly shoot it. Standard bullets have worked just fine for a long time, however for my 300 Weatherby Magnum I prefer a Barnes TTSX and drive...

My Mauser M12 30-06 Expert likes the TTSX 168gr bullet but shooting with a 2MOA Aimpoint those bullets are more accurate than me. Forget the benchrest groups, if it's under 2" your good to good hunting at stalking ranges.

Thought I'd add a photo, I had to trim the front extension base and re-blue as I did not want it hang over the front or rear of the receiver. Rifle weighs a light 8.1lbs with optics. Cheers John

Straight from the Mauser website - M12 : see below and they REALLY like 30-06 so it gets a mention twice over 8x57 remains and they have dropped 7x57 for 7x64 (not really a loss) Calibre: .243 Win., .270 Win., .308 Win., .30-06, .30-06, 7 mm Rem. Mag., .300 Win. Mag., 6,5x55SE, 7x64, 8x57IS...

While I agree that the M18 is the low end of the market I couldn't agree that the M12 is like a Rem700 which I have owned plenty of. I currently have a Mauser M12 Expert chambered in 30-06, trigger is awesome, fine cut chequering and stock work fit and finish is perfect, grip cap and ebony tip...

Turned this over to someone with longer arms (LOL)

Don't bother responding, easier to sell the rifle.

Hi all Looking for any info if anybody has shortened the length of pull on a synthetic Sauer 100? Tips, tricks etc.. I bought a 270w Sauer 100 Ceratech however at 14.25" LOP I can only JUST get a proper eye relief with a t-shirt. Definitely won't with a pack or winter cloths so I am looking to...

Love my 30-06 M12 Expert, went with Warne steel bases and steel rings with an 2MOA Aimpoint 9000L.

Gold Coast Shooters is owned by a friend of mine, good shop for finding things that aren't always available. I have been looking at the odd 9.3x62 hmmm and there is a whole different thought...

Nah that would be Dad, figure I will drop into Ebor on the way down, he started me hunting when I was six there so I thought it'd be good just me and him for a couple of days. The 243 is a little ZKK601 that I have just picked up, not sure what I will do for it yet, use to load for the wife's...

Heading down to guyra next week although a bit hot, border finally open so the old fella (75) can come for a weekend walk in the paddock. I have a new Mauser M12 Expert in 30-06 with an Aimpoint to chase some pigs hopefully.

Located o the Gold Coast and usually hunt New England area or out western Qld although it's been a while since I've hunted out west. Normal game is everything from rabbits to deer, pigs and goats etc.. Reload 222, 243, 25-06, 6.5x55, 270, 30-30, 308, 30-06 & 300Win.

Usually hunt New England area, deer, pigs, goats etc.. Never hunted buffalo or scrub bulls but imagine it'd be pretty good.

Hi all Newbie intro from Australia, into rifle and bow hunting, range shooting and reloading. Cheers John

Hi all New to the forum from Australia. I have a CZ 557 full stock with a 20.5" barrel (6.5x55SE marked) that I have commenced loading for. With 140gr Woodleigh PP bullets loaded to 0.030" off the lands is the starting point over ADI powder AR2209, CCI200 primers and full length sized Sako...
