Blaser R8 Field Evaluation

[rbutcher1234]

Thanks guys, I am starting to get a grasp about what you are talking about now.

Here’s an example. A Swfa 3-9 fits in a low height, but a 3-15 gen 2 does not. It needs a medium.

A medium is a +3?

Apologies if you already stated it, but what’s your setup?

Professional 2.0 stock, Akila barrel extension with pic rail, 6BR ACE semi weight barrel, OG6-s.

I like the stock, it makes me tempted to buy another R8.

Do you know what your rifle weights without the scope?

I can weigh tonight. Compared to the previous professional, the forend is slimmer, the grip more vertical and shorter trigger reach, and obviously adjustable comb.

Does the Pro 2.0 Stock , come with a trigger? Or is that a separate purchase?

I have an Ultimate success and am trying to plan out what I need to buy once the Pro 2.0 stock shows up in Canada.

It should come with a trigger. You'll need to buy the bolt and bolt housing.

Is that a 20” or 18”?

It came with a trigger. Plastic guard and housing vs metal on my professional.

Can you change the guard and housing to metal? I know plastic should work since it goes in car engines, but just curious. Thx.

Half the time the metal trigger guard from my professional is in the 2.0 just because changing the trigger group is easier/faster than changing the magazine insert. So yeah, if you already have a metal one, super easy. I wouldn’t go out and source a metal one just to have a metal one though.
