What? You confused it by squealing like a girl, when you seen it. Poor hapless friggin thing.
I always let you shoot them anyway.
I will get a big eight in May and you will be carrying it out for me😆

What is the weight difference between the r93 and r8 and merkel in same cal/configuration?

Dunno, my 93 weighs just on 7 lbs with a carbon fibre stock to come. Its got a few mods. Was heavy originally around 8.5lbs with scope.

One of these?

Who's or what make is that stock Kokako?
Barrels are easily made significantly lighter by carbon wrapping. I have 2 300 gram scopes. Aftermarket saddle mounts. And no I am not getting a Christensen stock.
There are others or very soon will be at half the price of a christensen

R93,
The alternative stock your referring to is a "senator" item I assume. I discovered this myself after I received my Christensen stock :o Oh my shit happens & the stock is very, very nice. How much weight did you save by going carbon wrapped barrel? Like you I think the R8 is over weight so built a R93 with carbon stock, fluted barrel, 2.5-25 march scope & aftermarket scope mount. I might look at adding some carbon wrapped barrel's if the weight saving is worthwhile.
So like every other gun nut (most of us here !!) reading this , you spend shit loads to buy one then spend shit loads modifying it so its lighter ? :ORLY:
Carbon fibre this, aftermarket that .. Ha ha that's half the fun though for real !!! ;)
I figured they would have to be perfect in every way from the factory Not the case obviously .. , Not much changes eh ... Just the $$$$ :thumbsup: :D
I wouldn't want my R93 any lighter , it already rattles my mojo when I'm using the 7mm Mag barrel .
I found the easiest weight reduction was scope and mounts .
With my 7mm barrel I've got a reasonably heavy Zeiss scope mounted as low as the scope eyepiece will allow .
With my 223 barrel I tried a couple of different scopes Zeiss and Meopta but in the end Imounted an old Leupold 6 power scope . I've had it for a while and it is a fantastically tough scope that weighs practically nothing and has survived the rough and tumble of bouncing in a ute better than any other .
I mounted it on a picatinny rail mount with old fashioned weaver low rings to get it as low as I could .
I got it so low that it only just clears the safety - cocking button with room for a couple cigarette papers to spare .
I wish I'd discovered Blaser years ago .

Fuk, is the devil still doing 'soul deals'?......about the only way i can get one....or two!!!!!!
Are blaser ever going to make a normal looking nice bolt action do you think?
I had a feeling that would be your answer haha
But on a serious note did they ever make a turn bolt or whatever you call them. A normal bolt action? I can't find one on their website
Doubt it Tobes, I believe Mauser and Sauer are under the same ownership as Blaser so they will probably never make a turnbolt as it would step into the market share of the other two.
Same way that Tikka will never make a premium rifle again as that would encroach on Sako's territory.
I agree with you though, they are awesome quality rifles but not to my taste either.
I can't find anything on google, know where a pic is?
Blaser make a beatiful single shot rifle.
Someone on the forum had one, and had trouble with it though. Maybe it was Norway?
They make some nice double rifles too that I like, only complaint I have heard on them is the decocking safety, on a dangerous game rifle phs are wary of not having a quick flick off safety.
I was looking at a drilling yesterday on the blaser site thinking what calibers I'd have. I couldn't really decide.
Let's say you got one what barrels would you have?
@Blaser Do you know what the going rate for one in a R93 is?
Over engineered piece of German shit. Get a sako. The finns held the Russians back for ages......and not with poxy Blasers!
@R93. That Blaser envy really is kicking in aye
