    Ask brads?
    I always leave packing shit to the last minute but have still never forgot any shooting related parts.

    So why all these R8s for sale so soon after the owners were singing their praises? Is it just the owners following fashion without thinking about what they actually need want? As I said It reminds me of the march scopes everyone had to have and defended against any criticism but then sold and then a year or so later slowly admitted they were crap.

    No published weights, handled one prior to buying and it felt good, different story on the scales when I'm looking to have lightweight kit all around for alpine hunting, fuck it shoots well

    And back to this question, Can you change the Scopes between the barrels with out losing zero? I'm thinking that might be asking a bit much of it but never know unless you ask. I spose if you know your POI between the different barrels you could just dial the difference when you change them?

    You will never see my blaser for sale, ever.
    Brads and gimp are the only people I know selling.
    Brads has bought another blaser that suits his needs better.
    Gimp is apparently just a sook and has bad taste anyway😆

    So where are all these other R8s for sale?

    As good as the design may be from a repeatability point of view that would be a utter fluke if zero on two different barrels was the same on one scope.... extreamly unlikely.

    Which is why I asked as to the point of the quick release scopes attached to barrels, I guess has a use if you use and carry two scopes for one hunt with one barrel as R93 does but I would rather just use one decent scope.

    If the scope was mounted to an action as many other switch barrels are then quick release scopes make perfect sense as you need to replace the scope for the zero of each barrel or have the poi shift written down or use a scope like on the Sako quad with separate zeros built into the scope for each barrel.

    You have probably seen more bush in the last month than anyone on here has seen all year.
    Can't wait. This time next week I will be bush for 18 days. Could be less if I get what I am after.

    Lr brought a new blaser didn't he?

    I guess there's nothing stopping you from using same scope across barrels if you know what to set dials at for zero on different cals. Same idea as with the larue mounts.

    Handy if you travel a lot or go through nasty areas you don't want to fuck your gear in?

    I don't like pretty much every single thing about Kimbers or Forbes, whereas I like pretty much everything about Sakos.

    Yes as above, so what is so much better with these other blasers than the ones they were singing the praises of but are now selling?
