I absolutely love my R8 Ultimate in .308. It is no budget rifle and you cant look at it thru those eyes. What it is however is the single best hunting rifle you can buy today. The mount is proprietary and expensive but its rock solid and perfectly repeats zero every single time, you just dont need to test fire it, trust the system it will work 100% of times. Barrel changes are something you might not utilize but its really nice to have. If you do decide to use a differend caliber for a differend application down the line you can get a barrel that will cost as much as a decend complete rifle but you get a premium R8 for your money. Even holds zero when swapping between barrels as long as the mount and the scope stays with the barrel.

Unfortunately theyre very expensive as are the accessories. Worse yet they dont support the R93 anymore so those who own them are left out in the wind without any barrels or bolts. Thats a raw deal.

Can't argue with that, but, as I said in the vid; Blaser know their potential and are great at marketing and know, regardless of price and as a prestige product they have no problem selling rifles. The same could be said of any top end brand and the truth is they do not shoot any better than more, well made budget rifles. Buy a Rolex or a Timex and they all do the same job, it's just a matter of how much money you can throw at them. Regardless, I like my R8 system very much.

Yeah, it's an old can and I just pulled it off the shelf, but it's now due for the bin.

I've tested a couple of models and they seem OK, build seems good and optical quality acceptable, maybe a tad on the heavy side. Also a red dot, which is a bit like an AimPoint Micro-style, a seemingly good design. They were imported by Ray Trade UK, but a look at their website shows they no longer have them on their product lists, which might speak volumes. There are so many scopes on offer these days, it's hard to make a choice, but if the price is right, then they might be worth a look.

Thanks for the info, wasn’t sure if Highland Outdoors imported them. Will keep an eye out at the BSS in February, will you be there?
