    Show me some more Armies that use the Blaser in 338LM as a sniper rifle ?

    And they have had some issues with the Blaser in Aussie service recently , I think it was along the lines of a blowup or two .

    Also , talk to some Brits about the Blaser in 338LM , that they trialled , the Blaser did not get far , they deemed it unsafe ( they had a couple , not just one rifle ), as it was firing simply by chambering a round , and firing when the safety was removed etc , if you want more info on the Brit issue go over to ukvarminting they have all the info .

    I maybe WRONG , show me all the Blasers in 338LM in service as sniper rifles , outside the silly Aussies & Yanks , Opps .

    All I see is a lot of AI , Sako in the main , with a bit of PGW & Steyr .

    Go talk to SOME Brits, they'll tell YOU all about IT.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Fuck sake. You believe everything you read on the Internet about military issues, written on a varmint forum no less😆

    They are still in service. End of story.
    Britt used/use the SA 80 so you have to question there trialing methods and choices. Its a piece of shit.
    Stop posting what militaries do with weapon systems because at the end of the day you just read about it and most of the shit is written about by other wannabes who have as well.

    I work with ex Aussie snipers who admittedly do not like the blaser but for no other reason but how they were expected to employ it.

    I shoot plenty of blasers and the accuracy is outstanding.




    The aussie that blew his one up was fully lubing the brass with sizing lube before firing (to aid extraction )

    This resulted in excessive bolt thrust, and component failure as a result.

    Just missed a chance to take a pic of a red stag covered in snow roaring in a clearing 100 yrds from the hut.
    Pretty sure he was bellowing just to keep warm.

    It is especially for me. I am struggling with it to be fair. Used to 40° heat and it has even been warm on the coast.
    This is retarded but has got the animals going great guns. Poor buggers.

    We are fenced in. And can't see much more than 100 yrds in this blizzard.
    None of the reds here are worth looking at. All shit heads.

    The Fallow bucks are another story.
    Bloke shot a black fallow day before yesty. Absolute munter of a head and deer.
