This setup had peaked my interest. Anyone have one one? Use one one? Seems like a 300 wby and spare 375 h&h barrel ought to cover it. Assuming same bolt, bolt head etc could be used? Feel free to share aything you know about them.

Who sells these in Canada?

Those packages are available everywhere.
Dandy rifles, just wish they used something nicer than Tupperware for a stock.

You might have to settle for a custom ordered one when contemplating one of these fine rifles.
Did a quick build from the web page and was over 15K in no time.
Only problem was trying to decide between Grade 11 wood or Grade 12
Very Nice European Craftsmanship.
Very Nice Indeed.

He is talking about a specific package, that isn't too flexible on options.
They can get very pricey.

Thanks for the info so far. I emailed blaser asking them what the plastic stocks were made of and if they had lifetime warranty like McMillan. They never got back to me.

They're some sort of injection molded plastic, more sturdy than Rem or Savage though. Blaser warranty covers all metal and plastic for 10 years to original purchaser. I'd assume that includes synthetic stocks.
