New LR Toy
Just put together a Blaser LRS2 rifle for distance shooting. It presently has a 308 Match barrel on it, but I have a custom barrel in 338 RUM on its way soon.

Biebs if it is half as accurate as it is ugly - you will have a super accurate rifle Smiler

Very nice! I went with a Sako TRG 22 and nightforce. Extremely accurate with 168gr Bergers

What make of barrel are you having fitted in 338RUM?

It's a Blaser 338 Win Mag in Semi-Weight (heavy) profile, with a Holland brake. A 338 WM chamber "cleans up" quite nicely into a 338 RUM.

Its so ugly i want one. Do they make one in left hand.

How accurate is it Biebs ?

I assume barrels from regular R-8 do not work with this set up.

Mike, the LRS2 and TAC-2 are still based on the R93 platform.

Inletting? Talk about free-floating a barrel! :-)
