The D99 drilling are quite the work of art, as are the K95 single shot rifles.

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!

Pretty much on 3k. Cheaper to get full gun and sell one you have now.

I was quoted 2100 euro, just about fell of my chair, need senator to make one. He would to, he just needs one to use to make a mould.

A bedding block cant be that hard to make and a stock that has been run over or dropped off a bluff must be around somewhere, get one and give it to someone with a cnc mill, probably spit out 30 an hour.

He couldn't take his eyes off ours that's why he hid his sako in the dark places

Haha! The lab is compulsory. Bought a 243 kimber the other day - now that thing is too light. Nice to carry all day but I probably couldn't hit anything with it in a standing shot. Needs a suppressor to make it a bit more front heavy.

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.

With after market saddle mount, lighter scopes and carbon wrapped barrel it lost 1 1/2 lbs.
I also lost some weight in the stock.
(Original offroad)

I had exactly the same set up as you with fluted barrels and march.
My .223 set up is heavier now than my .260
