Blazer F3

I have handle the shotgun (not fired). It is pretty, but for the price, I would say that you would be well served with a Beretta SPIII or a B. Rizzini. One thing i don't like about this gun, is that you have to pay a lot more to get engraving on the action. The basic model is very.....basic!

I've handled one as well, couldn't shoot it because I had to leave the club right as the offer was made :bangHead:

The trigger is far from basic - by far the best out of the box I've seen. The tollerances that that gun is held to during manufacturing are quite impressive as well. From what I understand, different barrels or foreends do not need to be fitted - they just fit, plain and simple.

It has been mentioned that it is not an inexpensive gun but first impressions, at least for me, were very positive.

I guess that comes back to the old question what's more important? What's on the outside or what's on the inside. The true workings of a fine firearm are on the inside. Not how many ducks or bunnies are on the outside.
 
For the price I think this is one of the best guns on the market. To get a better handling and trigger pulls you'd have to step into a Perazzi or Krieghoff at a much higher price. When I consider what you get from the Blaser the only possible competition in the same price range is the new Zoli and it hasn't been on the market long enough to prove itself.

The Blaser is admittedly a plain looking gun but spending a lot of money on engraving is wasted IMHO.

Holly s**t CB we are in agreement again :)
 
i've handled it at the store and it balances and points very nice. almost as nice as the krieghoffs i looked at in Kesselrings, but for a lot less
 
The F3 is a lot of competition gun for the money ... price-pointed in between the Beretta 682 Gold E and the DT10. I've shot an F3 a fair bit and have nothing but praise for it. One of Blaser's factory reps was over here a year or so back and I had a chance to take a close look at the F3 completely disassembled. Very nice work indeed, with exceptional lock work and triggers.
The standard gun is a little plain looking, but 100 percent functional ... and upgrades are easily made to this "modular" gun.

The Blaser F3 Sporter's are available in a right hand version, with two different stock heights and two different length of pulls available as standard.
There is a left hand stock version available for a few hundred more ( and apparently a left-hand action as well !) ... wood upgrades, adjustable comb stocks and custom dimensions are all available as upcharges, as are additional barrels. What's not to like ?
