Blaser R8 Intuition 300WM Selous For Sale $9000. Buyer pays for insured shipping to your FFL. I accept most forms of payment including PayPal Friend (preferred), cashier’s check or personal check. When payment clears, I will ship the rifle from my FFL to your FFL.

Specs:
Blaser R8 Intuition grade 4 wood stock with 16 oz Kickstop installed
300WM Selous 19mm barrel with barrel band sling swivel
Swaro Z8i 2-16x50 P (30mm tube) 4A-I reticle & bikini strap
Contessa QD mount for the scope
Murray Custom Leather sling with Talon black stainless sling swivels
Weight 5175.5 grams (11.4 lbs)
OAL 1082.6 mm (42 9/16’)
LOP 352 mm (13 7/8”)

This is my wife’s rifle and everything was purchased at Euro Optic in 2019. There are some minor handling marks from going in and out of the safe or at the range, but it has never been hunted. It loves Barnes 165 grain TTSX and shoots MOA or better with them.

The channel on the stock has been opened (by Blaser USA) to accept 22 mm Selous barrels. At one time she was shooting a 375H&H Selous on this rig which necessitated the addition of the Kickstop, but it also balances the rifle very nicely.

I’d like to sell the entire package of the rifle, scope and sling and not part it out. The only item I’d be willing to remove from the deal is the Kickstop for a price reduction of $200.

If I had to guess to the round count on the barrel, it would be less than 200 and I don’t’ think it’s been fired it in more than three years.

I’m also offering a GunFoam GF-4514 (similar in size to the Pelican 1720) that has custom foam made for this rifle plus another Blaser R8 Professional. Case and foam for an additional $200. If you would like to choose this option, the rifle will ship in the case.

I have a few more and can take more if you have a specific request.

Feel free to ask any questions publicly or send a DM if you prefer. As always, thank you for looking.

Sounds like someone could buy this today and go on safari tomorrow. Nice package, good luck with the sale.

I believe the modern term used today is “turn-key”.

I’m sure the new owner will want to make it their own, but as is…I wouldn’t hesitate to load it on a plane for a trip tomorrow.

Beautiful rifle! I have to ask what the beautiful Mrs BeeMaa is replacing this with my friend? She is a crack shot with this rifle so that speaks to both her skill and the rifle…she must have gotten something great!!!
 
Mrs. BeeMaa has decided to hang up the rifle in favor of other pursuits. Says she's much happier to stand by my side as an observer and experience the hunt in that way...and I'm glad to have her there.

She's still up for hunting, but would most likely be taking animals of opportunity with a camp rifle rather than travel with her own. Plus her skills are good enough to use mine if she so desires.
 
There is nothing to improve on this rig. It has the best of everything. The Selous barrels make quick work of recoil. If I didn't have 2 R8 already, I'd be on it.
 
Hmmm the proceeds would make a nice down payment on a brown bear hunt. Just sayin’ :A Camping:

And this would make a very nice client rifle as well. :cool:
 
The complete package is now off the table as individual items from this rifle have been sold. All that I'd consider selling from this package is the scope & mount.

Scope is a Swaro Z8i 2-16x50 P (30mm tube) 4A-I reticle with a rail mount (no rings). Comes with a bikini strap, but I no longer have the original box. I will include insured shipping to the lower 48 for the price of $3K.

The Contessa QD mount (fits a Blaser R93, R8, K95 and S2) for the scope would also be for sale. In essence it's a QD adapter from the Swaro rail to the Blaser pattern scope mount. If you would like them both, I'll include it for an additional $200. If you would like just the mount, $300. Shipping is also included in that price.

@BeeMaa
I have seen this rifle in person it is absolutely beautiful. BeeMaa is a top bloke ,not a scam artist and only buys the best.
You can be assured that the description of the rifle is accurate and you will be getting a high quality item at a reasonable price.
All you will need to do is book your hunt to go with the rifle.
I can't seeing that rifle lasting long mate

@Scott CWO
Might make a nice down payment on a brown bear hunt but you NEED A NICE RIFLE TO GO WITH IT.
Just sayin'
Bob
This one too pretty for Alaska. No furniture for Alaska is best. @BeeMaa and I just teasing each other because I bought his CZ that is set up for Alaska.
 
@Scott CWO - I really enjoyed seeing that young woman with a big brownie that you guided her on. Seeing a rifle I owned getting the adventure it deserves brings joy to my heart. And let the adventure continue.

Looking forward to seeing you at SCI. Cheers.

To all those looking for the scope, I created a new thread for it.
 
I was worried for a minute here that @BeeMaa was getting off the Blaser train!
No chance of that. My wife originally wanted me to put it up for sale, but had second thoughts. Plus I have a few other stocks with barrels on them.

Grass is green. The sky is blue. And BeeMaa still loves his Blaser rifles. All is right with the world. ;)

Fortunately Mrs BeeMaa loves you as much as you love your Barbie gun.

Be careful of hunting Chewore South, the area has been decimated.....


Curious about this. I hunted Chewore South with D&Y in September and they did tell me it was there last hunt there.

Which outfits shot it out?
Impala cull hunt for camp meat!
