Try convincing a Blaser owner of that statement. They have a narrow, but loyal following. I don't own one, and wouldn't, but I do know a guy who has one. He claims it's the best .308 he's ever had in his life and I assure you, he's had a bunch with cost not being a factor at all.

Germans make some good stuff. Just look at Feinwerkbau.

I have a friend that owns a gun shop in Utah (Heritage Arms) and he is one of Blaser's biggest dealers in the West.
Like any other fine rifle, Blaser has options that a standard rifle does not (ie: custom wood, engravings, extra cartridge holder in stock, etc), but aside from that, they are made to exacting tolerances that most regular firearms cannot achieve on a mass production scale. They are often hand crafted and fitted as well to ensure better quality.
The R93 and the new R8 are very unique rifles that have interchangeable barrels so as to allow a shooter to change from a .243 to a .308, to a 7mm-08. All of which are on a repeating platform bolt rifle (straight pull) unlike a Thompson Center which is a single shot.
Are they the best rifles in the world? I couldn't say, but I would guarantee that if you had a chance to hold one and feel the way they balance and operate, you'd like them. It really boils down to why someone buys a Mercedes Benz as opposed to a Toyota. Both will get you where you want to go, but one has a lot more prestige.
Ps- look at their D99 drillings rifles, and the K95. Those are cool! The K95 chambered on .222 is gonna be my graduation present to me this spring. ( also look at the F3 shotgun, that thing is pricey! )

I wish you could have said that in the same accent they talk with in a Mercedez Benz commercial. That would be cool.
I always wanted a Blaser, and one day when am rich and famous I might have just one. It would be a stand deer hunting rifle. To the stand and then back to the safe. Every now and then I might let someone other than myself hold it.

If it was in the budget I would try it. They don't get that price for nothing. I doubt I will ever try it though.
Much like the saying "if you have to ask what the gas mileage is, maybe you can't afford it"
I do have Sauer rifles that are known for setting the standard for smooth actions. They are smooth and beautiful.

I've shot with a guy who had a Blaser shotgun. It was cool but...didn't do anything my Browning XT doesn't do at a $2000 pricetag.
It was purty though
(the letters t h o (short for though) is bleeped? WTH?)

Been asked a few times, I've never seen a post as to the reason why.

I don't care for the sporters, but the Tac 2 does it for me. They just plain shoot. Same class as the Sako TRG22, Accuracy International, Anschutz, Cooper, Stolle action custom. If you have never shot one, you wouldn't understand. Harder than heck to justify the $$$ until you do it.
