That's the tradeoff of bringing the production to this level I'm afraid, someone has to finance it. In this case Zeiss Germany.
Awesome, good on Zeiss helping put it out there.
I want a GRS stock for my R8......

That scope looks bad ass!! You are quite a funny bugger really :thumbsup:
Wicked video,
Those GRS stocks are hewn from a big chunk of ugly tree.
Very impressive Thomas. I didn't think I wanted a 338LM barrel or a GRS stock for my R8 prior to watching that...

Very impressive, @Norway. Can I ask you what App you use to calculate your drops based on the 100yd zero and then actual drop at 800 yard ???
Thanks for your awesome work and passion !!!
I think I would be right in saying you wouldnt be paying for too many hotels if you ever decided to visit New Zealand ...

What is the bipod on the rifle?
That's a first!:) Cameramans woe was generally my lack of smiles, and work has permanently classed me as "grumpy" I think...Quote:

You can see the process filmed here

It is an RPS Titanium bipod. It was one of my private items as I did not want to enter too many variables into this job. It was bad enough to shoot an unknown rifle, scope and ammunition - at least I wanted a recoil pulse I was familiar with.Quote:

Stunning photography. The wind reminds me of our weather and the challenges of long range. Have you made any other films?

I've participated in a basic longrange DVD which can be downloaded via the production company's Vimeo account https://vimeo.com/user14430847/revie...394/67a9dfb780
Other than that, I put out small non-scripted films on Youtube where I try to include the odd trick or tip every episode

Nice. What calibre is that?
This makes me want to get a new barrel for my R8. And a trigger upgrade to bix & andy.

Let me know when you want to sell it, I'll be keen... [emoji106] [emoji14]Quote:

Looking at the price differential between the Blaser GRS and one inletted for a Sako,Quote:

I'll try and find the website, may have been Mulliners in the UK.

Yep that's what I am thinking too... Unless the fact that its for a Blaser makes it some how worth more...?
Hmmmm, its gonna be about $6.5k - $7k landed.
Maybe I dont need one.......
I think the most "cost effective" way to get one would be buying the complete gun in 338LM etc then selling the barrel if you only want the stock. I'll revisit the idea after I win Powerball...
Complete rifle or stock with internals?, that seems more than the one I sawQuote:

I'm not sure, but I assume it is integrated as GRS is a Blaser partner. It is a bit heavier than the original stock.
I don't think Bix'n Andy is available for R8, but the Atlz is. Not tried that one but supposedly very good.
So $NZD4300, I think that's taking the piss for just the stock considering a Professional S Off Road R8 ( fixed mag/trigger)retails for $USD2895 ex EuroOptic.( complete rifle )Quote:

$5900 USD for the complete rifle in 338LM. Looking at around $2.7k to get a 338LM barrel, bolt head and mag insert here in NZ. So its still expensive to buy it complete...
The R8 338LM barrel is significantly more expensive than the ordinary barrels.
For the R8 the Atzl trigger is only available via Blaser and it requires a stock modification. For the R93 it's an add on directly from Bix'n Andy ( company name- by Mr Andy Atzl). I have the 250grams Atzl trigger on my R8 and I don't wanna have anything else anymore!
