    I have the same R93 I bought in the late 90s.
    Would never part with it.
    Every barrel I have or had for it shoots better than me.
    Practical, fast and reliable. Especially the mounting system for scopes.
    I alway carry 2 scopes. One on the rifle and one in my pack. Using same load you can go from bush shooting to open tops in a as long as it takes to swap the optic over.

    Mine with bush scope and supp weighs 3.2kgs with my main hunting barrel on it.
    Don't have much experience with an R8 to compare them other than weight.
    I have 2 crank bolt rifles in my safe and only use 1 of them regularly. I get muddled up if I ever need a follow up shot as I am so used to the straight pull

    Do you still have the F3 ?
    I think they are one of the best Shotguns out there .
    Blaser’s modular system and interchangeable barrels etc are not just confined to their rifles , the F3’s ability to swap everything around is very underrated and not mentioned much .
    FALL IN LOVE WITH THE NUMBERS , NOT THE IDEA

    No mate sold it to a mate when I gave up sporting clays and took up shooting 3 gun and stuff.
    I would like one in the safe but it was a fair bit of coin sitting there doing nothing.
    If I ever get rich I will buy another for the sake of it.
