ShootingEgg Posted January 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 If it were me, I would go for the Blaser, but I do love them. Both great rifles. Blaser is a left hand cock but am getting right hand bolt for it in deal. Or its the new M12. Arrrgghh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrrgghh wait a month and a nice guy on here will let you try a new m12 with a nice laminate thumbhole stock in 243 plus a meopta scope on top Edited January 7, 2017 by bumpy22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingEgg Posted January 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Just emailed the shop and have put my order in for M12 synthetic stock.. Meopta scope, and a sound mod. Hoping to pick it up this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornfree Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Good choice 243s don't have a long barrel life and you never know about secondhand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iano Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I have just asked for another M12 in the laminate to try. I wanted a 22-250 but suspect I will get a 243. I know the gun well but interesting to try the laminate stock ergonomics. Best of luck with it! Hope it goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I have been toying with one of these guns in 30-06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingEgg Posted January 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Good choice 243s don't have a long barrel life and you never know about secondhand.One of reason the reasons that swayed me to the new. Im not going to be going crazy, will be using it for stalking, so no boxes of rounds on a range non stop etc. Gone for the synthetic with silver barrel.

Lloyd90 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 We shall see? I get through 2-3 guns a month and as many optics as well. They often get delayed but this M12 is one I'm personally interested to shoot so occasionally I do get a bit impatient although tbh, I only asked for it last week so I can hardly complain. I'm not sure the weather os looking that condusive to range testing this week/end anyway? 2-3 guns a month? What on earth are you doing to them?

Ahwell just a bit more noise until its sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingEgg Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Yet to fire mine, its tucked up in the cab at the moment.. And have to send licence back as fao guys didn't add mods to ticket. Luckily it os written in the variation so its a simple admin error and not cost to me to rectify.. Mod sat waiting in the shop for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootingEgg Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Ah. Well its only 243, the recoil wont kill you, just watch out for the muzzle flash in 243 from that short barrel :-) Watch out.. I dont want to wear a mask whilst shooting. Lol.. Ive fired the howa and tikka in 243 so know what to expect. Just need a calm day and sun shine to site it then I'll be happy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
