Max posted a link to this Bleiker test in the chat and I thought it would great to slot it in here.
NICE piece of kit!



Here's the webpage it's found on with details.

Here we go again eating up my data elocation, bloody good to see though, Maybe a couple of clicks right might have been the ticket as I see he was prodominently hitting the left side of the ten ring but having said that he might have got a nine on the right. thanks Wheelz. My wife thought it looked pretty good too ........... until I mentioned the cost ... silly me

Just looked at the other pix on the web sight, interesting to see that their bench tester consists of a machine vice clamping on the barrel just forward of the action.
Thinks Danny might like one but it seems he might have to go to Prague to pick it up.

That would cost about $12,000 as that is what I priced up!

Really is a beautiful piece of engineering. Can only hope one day I might be good enough to need one... haha

Haha! You n me both. Oh to be worthy.

Think Ryan Talor from Levin has got one similar but in blue Grunnig stock

To justify spending 18 grand on a rifle you would just about have to be hitting constant 590+ scores at a minimum or have alot of surplus cash lying around. Yes these things can shoot, but in my opinion unless your are at or near the TOP level you are better of spending the cash training. Yes these guns can shoot, but you can get good barrels at a fraction of the price.
At that price you are talking a number of thousand dollars for each mill tighter. My barrel has done a 8mm group at 50m before and that cost 2000 NZD at the time (it was using some bloody good ammo). The accuracy at the other end is a factor of the barrel, ammunition, and shooters ability.
Just because the Bleiker is alot more expensive than other options does not mean it is always going to be the best. The Bleiker has an action which allows less movement to load, especially helping those with short arms. However, if you do some research this function has been produced in the past via different methods. There is alot of gear out there that we don't see. If the gear allows good grouping capabilty and it fits YOU then you have found your perfect gun. Your perfect gun may be different to anothers due to your personal requirements and you don't always have to buy the most expensive option. Price is not always a measure of comparative quality.

yeah I've still got it. It was some good ammo that was used to test it when it first came into the country. I havn't been able to replicate those groups with my own ammo. I can't remember the size of the groups with my best lot of ammo (might have been in the area of 10m - llmm), but it was pretty good. I have about 500 rounds of my good batch left at the moment. (Had this lot for 3 or 4 years and I will only use it for really important matches).
