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

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.
