any Blaser rifle owners near Louisville?

[Glenn S.]

Hello,
I'm considering purchasing a Blaser R8. There are no retailers near me; might there be anyone near Louisville that would permit a visit so as to get a feel for the rifle?

Thanks,

Glenn

I’d want to handle one before laying out the $$$ too, but I find the R8 to feel very natural, and I’ve had no difficulty using mine. They do require your reloads to be resized precisely, and they also require you to close the bolt decisively but those are probably the biggest quirks.
