Thread: Gun Porn, show off your new toys

Blaser R8 with my 6.5x55 barrel on it. Barrel arrived on Wednesday morning and was in the hills on Thursday. All load work done by the norma factory, cost $75 per 50 rounds.



Shoots ok to. First 5 shot group with only 10 rounds down the barrel. This group includes the cold and clean bore shot to, so there is no need to foul this barrel before you go hunting.

Norma factory ammo. Norma brass with a 144gr Sierra HPBT BC is .580. Almost cheaper than buying norma 6.5x55 brass by itself.

lot of great minds thinking alike at the moment it seems (or thinking alike 9 months ago, with wait times.... )

Yeah, I don't think so sunshine. It's a one holer setup. Seen it plenty of times, including the one in the photo.

But haters gonna hate.

That was me zeroing the scope. The two shots I fired to zero are probably better than your groups on a good day

Just taking the piss mate. Figured you wouldn't be showing it off otherwise.

You have your pic of the rifle reversed? Bolt is on the gay side😊
I suspect you can improve your shooting with a lighter cheek weld. It will tighten that group up at least😂
Very nice......for a gay 8

There's a Blaser takeover brewing in the forum

They won't take over but they have their place.
