londonhunter Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Hi I don't post too often so I thought I will share this with you folks I hunt with Blaser since day one. I don't know if you guys know but factory produces 4 ring heights the last exclusively for LRS however Alan Rhone and Open seasons mainly import one height and most blaser owner don't even know there is a choice ! Blaser don't publish it on their corporate website or brochures ! I shoot a lot of clays and good cheek contact is second nature to me I cannot get use to light cheek pressure I manage to convince a gunsmith LADBROKE AND LANGTON near St Albans Who looks after all my competition shotgun requirements to lower the rings for me They have gone even further and made a jig so this can be done accurately and easily Here is the first finished product It's cheap and transforms the whole setup Give Karl a call on 01923-854639 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pork chop Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 nice looking setup there buddy,but why not just add more spacers to the stock or is there a particular reason for milling the mounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonhunter Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I have nine mounts For many many purposes One can have variable tilt On this forum means 10/ 20 MOA ....... For me I hunt up close and personal with this setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcampbellsmith Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 nice looking setup there buddy,but why not just add more spacers to the stock or is there a particular reason for milling the mounts Traditionally, the idea was to mount the scope as close to the barrel as possible. As I look at photos of set-ups, I see the scopes mounting ever higher. I think it's an excellent thing for a stalking/hunting set-up to get the scope down low and for the set-up to come up to the shoulder without any pause for thought. Straight bolt handles are a big part of the problem and obviously the Blaser doesn't have this issue at all. I am surprised there aren't folk out there offering custom bolt work to address issues like this. What I do see happening is the design of the butt of a rifle being flexed to accommodate high mounting scopes as in the attached thumbhole I shoot. http://www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk/gallery/member-galleries/p2948-remington-700-sa-in-260-rem.html My Ackley has a much more traditional look. http://www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk/gallery/member-galleries/p4428-russell-gall-243-ackley-improved.html LH - Thanks for sharing this with us.

brown dog Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Having owned 2 x R93s and one Tac 2 in the past, the K95 is the only Blaser I would own now - wish they did a basic/offroad version. Love the look of that set-up. Great idea on the rings - can't bear having a scope up in the air like an M16 carrying handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 LH That has the look of a very 'fast' handling rifle! Can see your logic of carrying over your shotgun technique into the rifle. Very neat looking, any chance of a photo of the rifle assembled for a feel of proportion? Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonhunter Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Hi terry This is my stalking on foot mode This is my cull mode It can be swapped over within 30 seconds without loss of alignment I have done some surgery to the stock which of course cannot be seen but it balances just where I want it I am talking it to sweeden in November for running whitetails ! This a fox taken running from a pen with a pheasant in its mouth I was on a highseat with the game keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Cheers The suppressor might be practical but it looks f'ugly on the rifle Again, that looks a 'fast' set up! Brgds Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybrock Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Cheers The suppressor might be practical but it looks f'ugly on the rifle Again, that looks a 'fast' set up! Brgds Terry I was thinking exatly the same, first picture its a stunningly beautiful rifle, second picture with the mod fitted and it some how turns it into a Baikal!

londonhunter Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Now that you have brought the topic up How many hunters / stalkers in the UK hunt with an unbalanced , heavy suppressor, unfitted rifle ? I totally agreed it just does not look right or handle right at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizzbangwhallop Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Nice one London! I've used L&L a lot over the years on various shotguns and have been very pleased with their work...and they're only 40 minutes away. I'll bear this in mind for the future. atb Fizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sauer Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 not Blaser related but as years gone on & objective lenses got bigger but stock design not really "kept up" ( apart form adjustable stocks obviously) or taken this into consideration. I always felt I was holding some weight back of the stock rather than really getting "on it" & decent cheek wield .....became even more apparent when I bought my drone pro..... total mare! great unit but not confident in a shot as un comfortable . buggered bout with pipe lagging and duct tape to experiment.... got extremely comfortable then decide trying to figure out what to do to me set ups decide on a karsten kydex cheek piece for both rifles as most convenient option for me...... ( left handed long action & an long obsolete lef thanded short action rifle) as would have been a mare getting new stocks other than custom made im chuffed to bits ....not the most elegant of solutions but practical I believe big problem with shotguns now....premier guns told me that more than 40% of new shotguns they sell come back or are requested with adjustable stocks as comb height not high enough for lot of folk paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I had to do similar to my swarovski mounts about a year ago. I took about 2.5 millimetres of the bottom of them as the scope was too high. I had trouble with my swarovski 6-30 x 50 z6i. When it was zeroed at 100 it only left 15 clicks of wind age to the left then it ran out of adjustment. When I was doing the trim job on the bottom of them I took the mount off and machined the back part of the mount so I could adjust the back ring. I did this by slotting out the recess for the screw underneath which holds the rear ring on. It means I can set the scope to the middle of the adjustment then fire a shot at 100 yards. Pull the bolt back and loosen the screw from underneath and move it till it lines up. I do this and it means I have full adjustment both ways because I can adjust the rear ring to suit to suit my zero. I used a normal cheese head 3mm Allen head screw which the bolt skims by about 0.5 mm when closing. This will give about enough wind age for a 15 mph 90 degree wind at 670 yards. More than enough for my 223. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
