[Corjack]

I would like to wish DocHolyrood a happy birthday and many more. I also would like to wish that a Blaser BBF97 be in your future.

Welcome to the site mate and Happy Birthday!!

[DocHolyrood]

The recent purchase of my first R93 Luxus in 30-06 was my present to myself. I usualy only spend that much on the turn of a decade, such as 30, 40, 50, but this year I got the bug.

Sounds like a very nice present

A second present to myself was knee surgury yesterday. Nothing too serious, but I have to be on crutches for 30 days. So if you don't hear from me much over the next week or so, that's probably the reason. The good news is I have the sweetest wife and she is being very attentive, as usual. Again, get-well wishes are not necessary, but presents would be nice.

LOL if that's the case we will need a postal address

A good chuckle is present enough.

Happy belated Birthday Doc, glad you got your Birthday present! Another Blaser for you next year , Waidmannsheil, Dom.

My plan was to limit myself to 3 barrels. I bought the Luxus in an '06 because I thought I would get the most use out of that caliber. I thought I would later buy a magnum barrel and bolt face. For the third barrel I like the 6.5-284, but I also like the idea of a 308 in 20" barrel with sights. However, the 308 is too close to the '06 for me to be gaining much. Of course a 22-250 might be nice too.

My latest thought is that I should buy a Professional in 308 20" barrel and leave it in Kansas this Christmas when I go coyote hunting with my dad, that way he could play with it for awhile.

Now the BBF 97 conversation has popped up and I'm all confused. If I showed up with a BBF 97 my dad would smile at me in that all knowing way that dad's can smile. But I bet he would love it when calling in coyotes!

This post says it all! YOU, my friend, have a chronic case of Blaseritis. Unfortunately, as many here can attest, there is no known cure, but the Blaser catalog contains plenty of "medicine" to treat the illness.

retrieverman is correct, no cure, only a little "medicine" now and then, seems to help.

Wonder if my health insurance would cover it. Would not take long to meet the deductable.
