I finally got my new Succes stock in the house. I have been waiting for it for a while cause i am a lefty.
My R8 Camo was great but the Camo dress started to peel off. ( Should not happen on a rifle at THAT price fi you ask me) Here it is mounted with my Aimpoint Pro. |

I was looking at those. My initial impression was good... surprising since I've never been enthralled with thumbhole stocks. Alas, at over $4100 (U.S.) it seemed a bit much. Congrats on yours.

I loved my Blaser, just couldn't fall in love with the bolt pull like I thought I would. messed me up everytime I grabbed a different gun to go out with other than it.

Thanks guys. I am real pleased with it. From the first time i shouldered it, it felt right. The pistol grip is formed so it feels like it's made for my hand only. Im learning to use the Aimpoint right. Went on a drivenhunt in Germany in December and learned a lot about shooting at moving target. |

Yes, i shoot with both eyes open. It took a little while before i got used to it, but it actually is a fantastic way to aim, i think.
Before the Germany trip i was practicing on the tv, having a wild boar hunting movie on it, driving my wife crazy Must have shot at least 100 pigs before i went hunting.

Excellent Claus how does she shoot and how do you like the success stock compared to the old synthetic one. I can only find right hand ones here in SA, which doesnt help me as im left handed.

It shoots as well as the other Blasers i have had. This is the first 6 shots, on 200 meters, after sighting in the last one i had. The Succes are doing the same thing, but i have no photos yet.

Thats some real good shooting Claus, especialy at 200m. Do you prefer the feel and handling of the success over your old stock. I have never been a fan of thumb hole stocks, because i'm left handed they dont suit me. I have tried to find a left handed Success stock here in SA to have a feel, but cant find any. Whats your input and thoughts on the left handed Success stock?

I like both stocks, but i think the hole stock gives me a more controlled grip. The hole was something i had to get a little used to, especially if repeating is supposed to go real fast. It's not a problem, just something i had to get used to. The grip really feels like it's made especially for my hand. My buddy is also a lefty, he had the same feeling and he is a big guy with a lot bigger hands than me. Why don't you send an email to Blaser and ask them if there is any dealers around you, who has a left hand stock? http://www.blaser.de/index.php?id=89&L=1 |

There are several left handed R8 Success rifles listed on Gunbroker right now. Obviously, they are available.

Nice rifle, and good shooting, Claus!
I've never been a fan of thumbhole stocks, but I like the proportions of that one. I have a Blaser K-95. Blaser's quality and accuracy is both outstanding! |

Excellent shooting, Claus. I have mixed feelings on thumbhole stocks, but the one on my CZ700 "feels" good and I like it. Some don't fit my hand well. That appears to suit you pretty well.

[/QUOTE] That is the exact same thoughts i had... Acturly i felt the Succes stock was a bit to " hi tec " the first couple of times i saw it. I changed my mind when i shouldered it the first time. I have only seen the K95 on pictures. It looks REAL nice, and i have no reason to doubt the accuracy. |
