375 H&H Blaser R8 barrel for sale

[jbirdwell]

Used, Blaser R8 barrel for sale. No sights and is 25 1/2” long. Bought as part of a rifle package but I don’t need the barrel. Previous owner said it has around 100 rounds thru the barrel. Crown looks good but I have never fired the barrel.

Asking $1200.00 shipped in the lower 48.

I have done several deals on this site so I can supply references if need be.

Thanks

@jbirdwell is a stand up guy. Buy with confidence! Good deal on the barrel as well!

Does this include the magazine insert?

for us Blaser luddites, how do you tell what barrel profile that is?

A few ways.

First is price. The 19mm semi-weight and 22mm safari/Selous barrels have a starting price over $3K. Finding one of these for sale at $1200 would mean something is seriously wrong with it.

Second is the look, it takes some time but eventually you can "see" it.

Third - The seller should put this in the description although it doesn't look like @jbirdwell did it. But it's not a huge deal seeing as we are sorting it out now.

That's a great deal on a very good barrel. I prefer that profile and have the same barrel in .375 for my R8. It carries very nicely and the recoil is minimal. Most guys will not need a heavier barrel for 375.

I’d buy one If it had sights, I can justify a lighter caliber without sights but not a 375, wonder what blaser would charge to make it proper?
Thanks for the reply gents!

Blaser quoted me $280.00 to add sights to a plain barrel.

I did not mention it but I might be interested in trades like a barrel of smaller caliber or optics

I’m not familiar with the Blaser system, but is the insert for 300WM accepting 375H&H cartridges?

 

[jbirdwell]

They are 2 different magazine inserts

 

[PantaRhei]

I was hoping my 9.3x62 mag would work, but it looks like the 375 has its own magazine.

 

[jbirdwell]

Yeah the 375 mag only work with 6.5X68 and 8X68S I believe

 

[jbirdwell]

Bump

I’ve decided that I will throw in the magazine insert for the same price shipped in the lower 48 if that will help with the sell.
