N E 450 No2New bbl for the Blaser R 93
While visiting Aleko at Heritage Arms in Salt Lake City I bought a Safari barrel in 375 and a Safari forearm for my Blaser. I had a chance to shoot my buddies on our Idaho bear hunt.
My wife is going to use my standard bbl with Magna-Port in Zim, and I felt the Safari bbl would be better for me in Africa than the Tracker bbl.
I like the iron sights on this bbl pretty good, and have mounted a Swarovski 1.5-6x42 with the circle dot reticle.
I shot the bbl a little this weekend at the lease and I like it.
Since this bbl is heaver than a standard bbl I put a Blaser recoil in the buttstock which makes the rifle balance perfect, as well as reducing the recoil some.
The more I shoot and hunt with the Blaser R 93 the more I appreciate its design.
