Brand New Blaser R8 Ultimate 6.5 PRC

[Lefty Brad]

I was picking up a pistol at my local gun shop and noticed that they had two Blaser R8s sitting on the shelf. It caught me off guard because they are not a Blaser dealer and I live in a rural, blue-collar area. They told me that they had to take them as part of a larger inventory buy from one of their distributors. They were priced so well that I came home with both of them. The funny part of this story is that I already own three R8s and I am left handed! My wife says that I have a problem.

The other rifle is a Professional in 6.5 Creedmoor with savannah color stock. I was considering keeping this one and selling the bolt housing/head and buying left hand bolt/head, but, I may end up selling this rifle as well. I wanted to give some background info as to why I'm selling a brand new gun. Also, I bought the left hand Heym 500 NE from @Manny R last year so he can vouch for me that I don't mess around.

This is a Blaser R8 Ultimate 6.5 PRC with the adjustable comb. Standard profile 17mm barrel. Blaser calls the barrel length 650mm (25.6"). It has the Illumination Control bolt housing. Rubber inserts on the forearm, grip and cheek piece. If you would prefer to have the 6.5 Creedmoor I can switch the barrel, bolt, magazine insert off the other new rifle. The Creedmoor is 580mm length in standard profile. I live in western Pennsylvania. This will need to ship to your FFL. For PA residents we can either meet up or figure out shipping. $5,900 for the Ultimate and you choose which caliber configuration. You can PM me for my cell number and we can discuss further if you'd like. Thanks. -Brad

I see that Mad Dog has these listed for $7,800 but that seems way high.

Would you sell the Savannah Professional Stock and Trigger Box?

 

[Nhhunter]

Mad dog is 5800 for the ultimate go to there website and build it.

 

[Lefty Brad]

Thanks for the price check. I couldn't find a site for Mad Dog but I found Top Dog Guns Global in AZ and the price was $5,921 plus shipping for this configuration. Either way, I'm dropping the price to $5,200 for the Ultimate with either caliber configuration.

Would the Ultimate stock take a match contour barrel?

How much does it weigh with the PRC barrel?

 

[Lefty Brad]

The barrel channel would need to be opened up in order to fit the match contour. Blaser USA can do this or easy task for a gunsmith or even DIY. I don't know what Blaser charges. They opened one of my stocks up for "free", but I was getting a barrel cut down and threaded at the same time.

I will get you a weight this evening. Thanks.

 

[Lefty Brad]

I only have a bathroom scale but I measured it several different ways. I'm getting 7.5 lbs with the PRC barrel. Thanks

Would you sell the Savannah Professional Stock and Trigger Box?

?

 

[Lefty Brad]

Sorry @AES I missed your original post. I didn't want to start parting things out until I at least sold one complete rifle. I will sell the complete Savannah Professional rifle in either caliber for $3,600. I can get pictures tonight if anyone needs but it's brand new with the box just like the Ultimate. Seems like a good price from what I can see but you guys can price check me again. Thanks.

 

[Lefty Brad]

Price drop to $4,900 for the Ultimate in caliber of your choice.

 

[Lefty Brad]

Price drop to $4,700 for the Ultimate with adjustable comb in either caliber. These are over $5,900 plus tax online from EuroOptic and Top Dog Guns Global. Thanks.
