This barrel came from the factory 20.5” long with sights. I used it sparingly and ultimately returned it to Blaser to have sights removed, length cut to 16.5” and muzzle threaded 5/8-24. It currently has a Thunderbeast 30CB suppressor adapter installed with red Loctite (271). Low round count. Comes with a magazine insert and a thread protector if you want to take the adapter off. $1500.

Shoots great. I zeroed it with SIG Sauer 150 grain HT copper hunting ammo. 3 shots under an inch at 100 and I went hunting. Took 2 wild pigs with that combo.
 
I’ve removed the muzzle device and lowered the price. $1150 shipped.

I think that would be a great little carbine, with the R8, the action shortens the over all length considerably. One bullet to try in it would be the CEB 130gr. flat based Raptor. Nifty! Brian

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
