I’ve owned an AR8 Blaser .22 (350 Ntec) for a year. This is the Pro version. Short barrel and heavy muzzle weight. Suits me fine as I normally shoot a 48 Black Pro. Weight balance is similar, although totally different stock styles.
My answers to your statement.

- barrel droop; No.
- potential scope creep; Four stud one piece mount used with a Hawke Panorama sitting in it. No creep.
- snappy; Yes/No. Stand a pellet on the scope turret and it’s still there after firing. So can’t be that bad.
- very light trigger; Yes.
- best groups of around 10-15mm at 25/30 yards/metres. Even at 18 ft-lbs in .177". Will stack .22’s at this distance at 12fpe.
