Blaser R8. Top Loading and De-cocking Video

Here's a video I made of top loading and de-cocking the Blaser R8. These two operations seem to be difficult for some people who are new to the R8. Hopefully this will help.

Excellent!

Maybe the basis of a new song?

Maybe so! Goes like this...

I picked her up.....held her tightly...And loaded her with one hand. Why that's so hard, I just don't understand.

And when she was primed for firing, I racked one in her chamber, shouldered her and cocked her with one thumb.

But the urge to fire, it left me, so I slowly let her down. With my barrel pointed safely at the ground.

I've cocked many guns in my life, son.
But I've never had so much trouble de-cocking one.

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
