My Blaser R93

My GOD! It worked!!

Nice wood

Congratulations on your new found skill!
I love your R93.. Tell us more about it..

Metric, if that's your 1st Blaser, you will soon become an addict, with extra barrels, a synthetic stock, etc, etc, etc. I bought one 7 or 8 years ago, and I've been bitten ever since. Great rifles.

Thanks!

Yes, it's my 1st Blaser. And, yes, I've been bitten
One of my hunting friends is a Blaser-freak, with heavily upgraded R93 and K95 models. He's the one to blame getting me into this..

Great rifles indeed; superb system rifles. I have barrels in 6,5x55, 30-06 and 9,3x62 for this one. Very accurate sadel-mount. My 6,5 has a S&B 3-12x50, the 06 a Zeiss Victory 2,5-10x50 and the 9,3 is vaitng for it's VariPoint...

This is a R93 Luxus, with upgraded wood. All barrels are 57,7 cm, making it a handy rifle in the woods.
Excellent shooter; my 6,5 barrel puts 5 shot within 2 cm with ANY LOAD yet loaded!!

Now I'm dreaming of a R93 Black Edition with 52 cm Semi-weigth fluted barrel in 8x57IS.....

That is a very nice bit of wood on your rifle. You state it's an upgrade, what grade is it?

oldun:

It was ordered as a standard luxus, but I was able to choose a bit ..
It's supposed to be a 4 grade, but it's actually closer to a 6

Thats interesting, my estimation was that the but was a grade 6.
Do let us know how you get on with the varipoint,I'm considering getting one too.

Come on, tell the truth. Were you testing or just showing off were the kids inheridence has gone?

He-he Albert..

this IS the first time I've put a picture out here. But, of course, it's a nice picture

metric,
If you want your wood to stay in good condition might I suggest you buy and apply some Balsin Schaftol, porduced by Klever of Germnay. It comes in three types;
Bright, Reddish Brown and Dark Brown.
I found that a couple of light coats of Reddish Brown followed by a couple of light coats of Bright enhances the grain very well. It's my intention, after having done the above, to apply the occational coat of the Bright as and when needed.
When applying the oil around the grip and foreshaft checkering I used a cotton bud dipped in the oil, this aids even application and reduced the likelyhood of gumming up the checkering.
You may want to give these products a try yourself, the oil is inexpensive but very good.
