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
