    Blaser K95

    G'day fellas

    K95.... Who has got one? What do you think of it and what caliber did you get?

    I assume they come left handed or can be used ambidextrous.

    I like single shot rifles due to their short and compact size.
    I have too many shooters and want to consolidate to "the one". Could this be it??

    I don't imagine there's too many k95 owners here but keen to hear your thoughts

    Cheers G

    Bottom line up front, I seriously doubt you’d be disappointed with one.

    I’ve had R93’s and now have R8’s, the accuracy and quality have been fantastic. If the single shot is your thing, don’t hesitate to get a K95. I’ve just added their Infinity 2.8-20x50 IC to my collection, it’s also a quality and impressive unit.

    Yep I have one in 7x65R. Bloody awesome rifle. I’ve shot a 3.5” group at 550yds, also a 5l oil container at 900ish yds. Take down and re-assemble does not affect zero at all.
    It would probably be worth getting a LH version to make it easier to use the top lever, but it will probably be spendy.
    I got a rimmed cartridge because I felt a nice break open needed one, but my friend has one in 270 and has no issues with extraction, but you do need to pull the cartridge out. I just need to raise the barrel and the cartridge falls out.
    Fire away with any other questions

    @Gkp sell up the tupperware rifles and get the K95 in a decent do everything caliber
    They are light and accurate
    Blaser will make you any stock you want if you are prepared to wait
    Some very smart engineering in the locking system makes it as strong as a bolt action without the weight
    Don't go to anything bigger than a fast 6.5mm, 7mm or 300 or the recoil will become an issue even if you aren't usually worried by it
    Being light they do surprise some people and you do get into some funny shooting positions when alpine hunting

    Cheers @stug interesting about rim vs non. I have never found it an issue with the TC single shots, they require manual extraction as well.
    I was leaning towards the 7mm Blaser as I already have one and rate it.
    How do you rate the trigger? I am a bit of a snob in this department lol

    Cheers @akaroa1 the pack down aspect is a bonus.
    I know you like your single shots so I am glad to hear you rate the k95.
    Do you have a pic with of the shooter assembled with scope on top? I am interested to see the scale of the rifle. They look quite slim in the pictures online. I am guessing they probably are to weigh 2.5 kg.

    The trigger is awesome, very crisp light weight but I don’t know what weight the trigger pull is. The 7 Blaser will have pretty stiff recoil in the K95. I personally would stay away from magnums unless you are going to muzzle brake or suppress it.
    The Blaserbuds website has some pretty good info about the K95
    If you want to see some pics of assembled rifle I have some in a thread I posted a while back. From memory mine with a Leupold vx6 2-12x42 is around 7lb.

    Yeah I have one in 6.5 x 55 , I was tossing up between rimmed or no-rimmed but spoke to enough people that said they had no issues so went with the Swiss . They are pretty lively recoil wise ,especially on the bench sighting in , 7mm Blaser would be a handful plus some .
    Mine is has the hog back stock , they do one with a straighter comb now that might help @Dreamer has one .

    Yep as @Lucky mentioned I have the straight stock version. As soon as I seen they had brought it out I ordered one not a fan of the hogs back myself.
    I went with 6.5x55 as well wanted to keep it classic. Recoil is pretty noticeable as Lucky mentioned as well even for the 6.5 off a bench and I’ve had to change my technique a wee bit too but I love the wee K95.

    As with Dreamer and Lucky regarding recoil
    My 6.5x65R is even faster than the 6.5x55
    It's not the amount of recoil but the recoil velocity that gives people a surprise
    No problems at all in the field
    Personally I would say 7mm Blaser would be a step too far for me

    And I shoot big bores all the time
    500 BPE
    50 muzzleloader heavy conicals and heavy charge
    .72 musket
    All much heavier recoil but slow
