Sako is far better in every way.
:) :) :) :)
Like chalk and cheese as far as technology goes. If a traditional rotating bolt and a safety catch is your thing you'd probably be very happy staying with a Sako, they're a quality bit of kit. If you want try something different, the straight pull and cocker/de-cocker of the Blaser system can't be beat in my biased opinion...:D The R8 offers some interesting new features, compared to the R93, in that the entire trigger and mag group drops away from the stock. I actually ordered a wood blued Sako 85 but the importer thought my order was a duplicate and didn't place it so I got the hump and ordered a R93. Bloody glad I did.
Never fired a r8 but they look great your pushing a prettg highend argument read up nz guns and hunting they are testing the r8, but a sako finnlight is were its at for my taste
As I have said, I have never seen an R8 up close. I do not understand why you would want the trigger and mag to be detatchable? I also hear that nothing but the saddle mount can be used on a R93?
I will stick with the R93, got too many things aftermarket done to it.
The search for the next forum T-shirt quote is over !!!!! brillo there R93 :)
And I don't have a MD, i don't even have a toy one, my imaginary one is deep metallic green with tints, hoping it would be a chick magnet :)

Yea I also have an imaginary sako 85 finnlight in 7mm rem mag that I drill 14pt stags with:thumbsup:
I hate testfires done by Jo blow from magazines. Everything is awesome, usually.;) As far as blasers go. I like mine better than I did 10 yrs ago. I do not think, an honest and accurate review, can be done by someone without experience hunting or shooting with one. They take a bit of getting used to.
To true dave.there always is bias involved hell you give someone a highend rifle and let them loose and ask them " how was that sako 85"......." they'd have to say fuckn great mate".............. will have to see my reveiw on the r93 bfore I'm fully commited though:pacman:
