Thread: Blaser K95

I have fantasized about a k95 for awhile out of interest recoil on something like a 6.5x55 in a k95. Surely would be less than the 6 pound scoped 7mm08 kimber I run now or is the stock shape a bit of a factor. They do look lovely. I'd also live to know if you spend much time worrying about the finish? I'm using abit rough with rifles.

It's just the weight re recoil

I don't worry much about the finish
The scars are a badge of honor
My one fell over 100m down a cliff and looked just fine compared to me

One day have to get the Mrs a fieearms license so she can surprise me hahaha

@Dreamer @Lucky are you guys using a suppressor?
I know what you mean about weight vs velocity, it is physics. I have a 6.5 prc shooting a 147 at close to 3000 fps and had to put a heavier scope on the light weight tikka to tame the recoil.
@akaroa1 what is your load for that 6.5 cal? Can't find F. A on the Web about it. Sounds interesting.
More people than I thought with the k95 which is cool!

@Gkp I got mine factory threaded but just don’t think it’d be right to hang a supp off the end if you know what I mean and as @akaroa1 said re the stock I’ve taken mine for one walk so far and already marked it. It’s not going to be a safe queen.

@Gkp , not at the moment , I was thinking of getting another barrel at some stage and suppressing that one , there was a second hand one at Rivers to Ranges in Hastings at Xmas , think it was a 25-06 and was $5500 from memory , be worth giving them a call as there is quite a wait when you order new .

Only prob would be my left handedness. Worth a call but. Thanks.
HRE would be able to re barrel it to any caliber using the old barrel.

Dont discount 2506 as a calibre it might actually be a perfect match of recoil and performance with a K95. 110 AB at 3300 and very easy to shoot well

Gkp,

I know you asked about Blasers but if you see a Merkel K3 or 4 they are also well worth looking at. Very similar in design, quality and ability.
This one is in 7x57R. Has a 3-9x42 Khales on it in QD Rectnagle mounts. 2.4kg bare and 2.8 scoped. Scarily accurate.

For the 6.5 x65R in a K95 you can use 264 mag data
Most of the European data is for older style single shots that aren't as strong as the Blaser

I thought the big 6.5 was an ideal alpine caliber
It was a toss up between a big 6.5 or 7mm
Then a 20 year old left hand 6.5 that has never been fired came up for sale in Germany
Grade 4 walnut
Nice engraving
It was a cabinet queen !

I have heard of the Merkel. What kind of cost comparison are they? Looks like another good option

That's a great score! What is the recoil like?

I can feel the single shot sickness coming on! Hopefully the nx8 is not too big for one

A lovely wee NXS compact 2-10x42 would be the ducks nuts?

NZ Ammunition co have some Merkels on the way, don't know if they have included the K3 or K5 etc but might be worth a call to ask.
