Why did noone warn me of what happens when you even consider a Blaser. I agreed to buy a used one for an excellent price in 30/06 with a known degree of pitting in the barrel. I am still waiting for permission from "the fuzz" to complete the purchase. Since that time I have acquired a barrel in 6.5x55, another in 6.5x47 and two saddle mounts!! Im a bit worried if this disease strikes so fast before I even own the rifle what lies in store once it arrives!! My bank manager is also concerned on my behalf!!
