figgy Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Don’t see why the brought out a cheaper gun. Know two people who bought them either kept them long and bought f3’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Having tried TWO, certainly not my cup of tea either..........................even with 2 sugars ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I remember John Bidwell leaving Browning for the Blaser when they were first introduced, and always fancied one. Still haven't tried one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I have tried a few of them and the F3 pro and vantage shoot well. The F16 looked nice shouldered well but I didn’t like the recoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B525 LIGHT Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I have the game version. I love the handling and very crisp trigger pulls but would prefer an auto safety. I shoot well with it. It’s like anything, you buy what you prefer. It’s a different gun to an F3, shallower action, lighter and I feel it lends itself better as a game gun.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what Blaser had in mind. The game version came out first and the sporter always seemed a bit of an afterthought. No doubt the F16 is a decent gun but it sits in a very competitive sector of the market where there are no bad choices and with all the volume makers producing guns around that price point.

The Burpster Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I love ‘em. My mate has one and if they did one in 20g it would be on a ‘serious want’ list! Love plain actions and love the adjustable balance in the stock too. No it’s not an F3 but it is a very good gun in its own right. (Caveat is that it is my opinion for whatever that’s worth!).

Uilleachan Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 I've tried one (from cluny guns with their try before you buy scheme) liked it but it didn't really fit me, with the standard stock I was seeing too much rib for my liking. I'd like to try the lower stock configuration, possibly a tad longer too, in 30" rather than the 32" that I tried . A lot to like with the f16 if it suits.

grahamch Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Handles nicely and is well made but no auto safe option means will be sticking with my 725 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
