Good- really fast reload, great for Coyote and small deer groups. Good to get 100% on Ibex too. Better to get the 7mm magnum of the two.

It's good.
I really like how it looks. The animations and the reload sounds are very well done. The actual sound of the shot is not the best, but it's fairly good. My usual choice for medium game.

Rated excellent.
This gun feels the most premium of all the weapons in the game. (don´t have the air rifle)
Love all sounds of it it looks excellent. The laser sight scope don´t do much to me and while it´s stock scope is okay the scope variety of the Anschutz maybe hurt it slightly. But very easy to operate. Always felt frustrating I can´t hunt big game with it which make me take it out way to seldom. I don´t care about moose but brownies are important.

Re: Rifles | 6.5x55 Blaser R8 Bolt Action Rifle
Been using this for the past few days and its wrecking my hits to confirmed kills stats when i use it on Red Deer, i aim for the lungs and heart all the time but for some reason 9 times out of 10 it hits a body shot and i have to then waste more shots when i catch up with it again.HooCairs wrote:I was intrigued by this rifle until I shot it.
Maybe it is me but very few red deer will drop on the spot unless I am lucky to have wobbled the shot into an insta-kill organ.

Well, it can hit the lungs of a brown bear at 200m. Pitty Doc gets *****.

Excellent. Great for medium game hunting at range, and also the best weapon with .30-06 to the driven hunts.
Just a question for you: Would everyone rate "very poor" if this gun would be permitted for big game also (like IRL), because it lacks power against .300?
Or would everyone rate .308 "excellent" if it have same permitted species list as 6.5x55 because it would be outstandingly powerful in it's class?
