For sale is a complete, used twice, near mint condition Blaser R8 Jaeger 6.5 Creedmoor rifle along with some additional Blaser accessories, a NightForce scope, and a scope storage / transport container. All was bought new in 2022. For additional info/photos or a phone call, please send me a “Direct Message” via AfricaHunting.com.

Sale Price
The price,if new and from the least expensive Blaser dealer and/or online sites I can find would be $11,395 before tax and shipping. My Sale price is $8,000 plus S/H and a 3% credit card convenience fee, if applicable, for the “Features and Accessories” listed below. I, the Seller, will pay for shipping delivery insurance to cover any shipping damage or a Lost package. Additionally, the seller will pay for GunTab.com escrow service fees.

Reason for Sale
I am selling only because I can no longer shoot a long gun due to a chemo port installed on the right side of my chest…..major disappointment for me.

Features and/or Accessories for sale
o. R8 Jaeger Grade 5 wood stock (#1)
o. Black receiver/ trigger with “R8” in gold (#3)
o. 6.5 Creedmoor standard 17mm barrel (#2)
o. Right hand R8 bolt housing (#4)
o. (1) standard caliber group bolt head, installed
o. (1) extra bolt head (#6)for Blaser R8 magnum caliber groups
o. Installed Kickstop stock insert for reduced recoil
o. Standard stock / receiver connection (#7) replaced with kickstop insert
o. Detachable magazine and magazine case (#8)
o. Blaser Quick Disconnect (QD) scope mounts (30mm) guaranteed return scope to zero each time detached and reattached
o. Blaser hard shell gun case Type C. Accommodates 2 barrels and all standard R8 Jaeger components
o. Barrel T-wrench (#5)
o. Forearm T-Wrench (#9)
o. NightForce scope NX8 4-32x50 F1 .250 MOA
o. Eeylar 20" Large Gear Hard Case, Waterproof, Dustproof, Shockproof with Foam (SA00002). Used for Night Force scope storage / transportation

Accuracy Experience
Rifle was fired no more than 60 rounds during 2 trips to the rifle range. On the second trip, I hit a 15” x 15” steel plate at 600 yards 3 of 5 shots from the Blaser 6.5 Creedmoor and NightForce scope. Ammo used for sighting in was Norma Match Golden Target 6.5 Creedmoor 143 gr BTHP. This was my experience of what’s possible with the rifle and scope, but not a guarantee for the buyer.

Scam Protection
I’m not new to Africa Hunting, but have only been an occasional user. To mitigate the risk of me or the buyer being scammed, I’m using the escrow payment platform Guntab.com. With it, the seller ships once funds are escrowed from the buyer and funds are released to the Seller once buyer receives purchased item and is satisfied the Seller delivered what was described in the ad.

One thing about Blazer, they don't mess around when it comes to the wood they use on their rifles.

Absolutely beautiful.

Best of luck with the sale, and may God add his blessings to you and your family.
 
That’s a really nice grade 5 wood set.
Hope you get some relief and get well soon.
Thank you. God is good. Hope to find a good home for the Blaser. Maybe someone who will share their experience with it and I can live vicariously through them.
 
Does your scope have the lighted reticle, and which reticle is it?
 
Does your scope have the lighted reticle, and which reticle is it?
Yes, the NightForce NX8 4-32 x 50 F1 uses Digillum, Nightforce Optics' proprietary digital reticle illumination system for its high-end riflescopes, offering precise control over red or green illumination via a single button for optimal visibility in varied light, featuring multiple intensity levels and auto-shutoff for convenience and improved target acquisition in low-light conditions.

I will find out what reticle is used and get back to you this afternoon. I believe it is MOAR, but will confirm.
 
Yes, reticle is MOAR F1. See photo from scope box.

I wish you a speedy recovery.
This may sound trivial, but is it possible for you to switch over to shooting lefty to avoid disturbing the port?

Good question. Yes, I think so. However, I think I’d need to purchase a left handed bolt housing, relatively a small price to solve the problem if that was my only challenge. A lot of practice from the left side might do it. However my next challenge is my Parkinson’s Disease which makes it extremely difficult to hold the rifle steady even if from my right side.

Thanks for your question and kind words of encouragement.
 
Would you consider a standalone sale for the scope? And scope mount?

Rifle and accessories, without scope, can be bought for $6,500.
Scope by itself would be $1,500
 
I am surprised the rifle is still here at that price separated from the scope. Somebody buy this and save me from explaining to my wife why I bought another of my brother’s guns.
 
The Purchase Payment and Transfer Process
As a reminder, I will use Guntab.com as the payment escrow platform to avoid scams. Once buyer and me the seller agree on a sale price, I will initiate a Guntab purchase transaction thru Guntab to be sent to the buyer. The buyer will then log into Guntab with their free account or create an account so they can select payment options (e.g. credit card or bank account). Next the buyer will make the payment to Guntab to hold until the firearm is received by the buyer’s FFL and inspected by the buyer. Once the buyer accepts the firearm and the ownership has been transferred to the buyer, Guntab will send the escrowed payment to the seller to complete the transaction.

I am a newbie to Guntab, so my process explanation may not be as they describe it.

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
