What problems have you encountered with your Blaser R8?

[BeeMaa]

Nothing at all
Only one I returned was a 500j because the Canadian importer failed to obtain a bolt head after 8 months

Was it a Canada government bureaucracy problem or the importer had issues?

We've just had our first problem. My son evidently put the rifle on safe with the bolt open. Now it won't fire. Why or how he did this is a mystery to me.

Don’t need to run the R8 bolt hard. A smooth, efficient stroke is reliable under pressure.

Sez a man shouldering the tip of the buttstock onto his collarbone...

Any updates on the issues?
