Got my shooting iron

Post by shutzen » Fri Feb 22, 2008 12:04 pm

HI! Finally the folx at blaser factory were done with the spit and polish shine on my blaser lrs2 and lucky for me that the BB NSCC got delayed and I will get to use this /test it out in the coming nationals . My release from customs got delayed by a day cuz one dude wanted a explanation regarding a spelling mistake correction on my import lic. by the DGFT and secondly - you wont believe it - A lady customs office wanted 3K bcoz of all the things she could not "find" any serial numbers on the barrels! even after I got on the phone and found where that serials are located Neways she was adamant on not reducing her fees so next day had to wait for her duty change and more agreeable & sensible folx to come on duty and got the shipment released. Donno how she adds up her salary ;)

Here are some links to some camera phone pics on photobucket. Will post more pics/better ones once I get the lic endorsement done and go to shoot!

close up view of the match barrel showing the flutes and the loopy scope and qd scope mounts :) Have not clicked any pics with the scope attached as my torx allen key set is stored away and due to ongoing renovation work at my house I have to locate and find it :oops:

well will get you folx upto speed when I goto the range and shoot a few ;)

Congrats on a really fabulous rifle. Maybe sometime I'll come down to yer town and try out a few plus take coaching from you.

Good shot against the red tape. These customs women are really blind as even the one in Delhi couldn't find the correct invoice. Finally, her colleague helped us out.

Glad that she didn't make a penny.

Regards,

Dev

Nice piece of kit Shutzen, congratulations! Do keep us posted on how she shoots... :) This rifle has quick change barrels - right? Have you gotten yourself more than one set (different calibres)?

Cheers!

Nice acquisition Shutzen, whats the twist rate of this barrel and is it single shot or mag capable?

Very nice Rifle and I wish you the best at the Nationals. Maybe you can have some IFG stickers on your gun case and have the other shooters join our group.

Please post some targets you've shot with this one.

Gentlemen - Thank you all for your good wishes . In fact you have inspired me to give you the guided tour "full House" tour. I fished out the torx allen driver and have clicked some more pics to try and give you a complete perspective of this - "Highly Controversial rifle " according to some . Have fun & enjoy ;)
Pics are hosted on photobucket. Short de.scriptions of each are provided here:

A close up of the polarised adjustable rear iris . Polariser is a must for long range shooting .
Image

close up of adjustable aperture front sight



View of the RH & LH butt. note the adjustments and the sling swivel

ImageImage
RH bolt close up view
Image

action open view

Image


close up of the qd sling swivel mounts - these can be put on lh or rh as per users choice

Image

Closeup view of the blaser proprietry saddle mount and the qs scope mounts

Image

closeup of the scope with one qd mount in closed & one in open position
Image

Side profile with scope mounted
Image

View of cleaning rod with VFG adaptor and the "european style" cylindrical cleaning felts. The tip take two cleaning felts in one go and on the stroke from the chamber to the barrel end. On the reverse stroke the first felt automatically drops off and one felt cylinder does the reverse stroke. - Lets see how it will work in actual practice

Image

Well sice this will be my main competition rifle I have a spare barrel in .308 cal - for use with the more expensive moly coated bullets exclusively. On this frame I can later on add any other modern competition caliber which the SAI permits . Shown in the pic are the spare barrel, spare trigger, spare bolthead and the small repair kit. Beauty of this rifle is that it is fully modular and anyone with a slight techhie background can change the parts without the need of " scrambling around in the Woods findding 'smiths"

Hope this was a informative look at the blaser modular system. Once again thanks for all your good wishes and will post some targes as soon as I complete all the paperwork before taking it out for the trials. :)

Shutzen, with the QD scope mount and the scope, how well does it retain zero ? The notches in the barrel seem meagre to grab a good bite on the QA mount.
