The ability to change left bolt yet retaining right ejection or vica versa is absolutely a game changer. For the first time in 20 years im interested in buying a new rifle. EXCELLENT THANKS Edit. Im going affectionately call this rifle BREXY

I got a 6.5 Cr all black. I had my gunsmith mount a scope on it and then brought it home. The Bolt was not on the rifle. And the safety switch was on Red. I didn't know how to get the switch down to the locked position (white). I kept pressing on top and nothing was happening. Till I started watching your review and at 6:45 you pressed "forward" on the switch to get it to move. I put the video on pause, grabbed the rifle that is been sitting behind me in a case and pressed as hard as I could and what do you know, it worked. So, thank you for that. Your video review paid off. I had problem getting the bolt mounted since I brought it home from my gunsmith. First, there was a part of trigger that was in the vertical position blocking the bolt to be mounted. I was pushing it down with my finger to lock down but it wasn't. I emailed my gunsmith photos and he called me and said to use a screwdriver to push it further down to lock it in and it worked. Then I tried to mount it again, but it wasn't going in. I looked at it in detail and apparently there is a tiny, tiny button on the left hand side that you are supposed to press and hold and then press the bolt forward to fall in place and it did. But, it took like three days of research to solve three issues with the bolt. But, I tell you after mounting the bolt I tried it and it is totally awesome and as smooth as can be. I kept playing with it forward and backward and just brought smile to my face after getting it to work. I am planning to add two other calibers as soon as they become available. I bought mine from the folks at Gunzonedeals dot com. If you want the lowest price anywhere on a firearm, they are it. BTW, love your reviews, you get into the nitty gritty details that might be missed. Keep up the good work and thanks for solving my last problem :)

Really an impressive rifle. So when you swap ejection to the other side, the bolt lugs are seemingly all locking into a different recess? Obviously this would change point of impact, but its amazing to me that they were able to get the tolerances such that it works in either configuration safely and reliably

Beside some 49 years of gunmaking under my belt: were a small ‘former’ part of it consisted of several years of repair, maintenance or alterations work on Blaser rifles through Euro/NZ importers after having enjoyed some ‘former’ training at their ‘Isny am Algäu’ gunmaking-factory, I wished all gun companies would be honest & more forthcoming for once! This just considering that this is basically a Blaser R93 knock-off, so I call Beretta’s 7 yrs development total ‘bs’! It could well be that with the ongoing increasing success of their R8 design, Blaser no longer had any use for their old R93 design? Similarly to Merkel: Beretta has either managed to purchase their 30 yr old partial/full patent outright or made the usual simple, small design changes to circumvent their patent rights for the Blaser R93 all together, as Beretta has indeed made a few small improvements on the original design!
