Thread: Blaser R8/R93 Saddle Mount - lower cost alternative...

I recently freed up a Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x32 for the Blaser, but all my saddle mounts were running 1" rings for the Loopies I have been using. So I set about sourcing some 30mm rings for the Blaser mount and found a lower cost solution on Ebay from this Bulgarian guy, Bojan Stoyanov, who uses the ID zruncho. He is manufacturing quality versions of the Blaser saddle mount with a variety of ring sizes and base options including picatinny, QD and non-QD. I took a punt and bought a complete QD saddle mount with 30mm rings for US$330. It took 10 days to get here from Sofia, came with spare cap-screws and allen keys and it is very well made. As you can see from the pix, it's a bit bigger than an original Blaser version, and has been lightened by the machining of additional holes, we can be used to fit the rings in alternative positions if required.




Here's my original mount with a compact Loopy...


And here's Bojans one with the NightForce...


I'm pretty pleased with the machining he's done on the cam/clamps, and I don't think there is going to be any zeroing issues with it.
