phillips321 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Guys, I've currently got a few quotes from the local gun shops for a Blaser R8 223 but they all seem to take a few minutes and then come back with a figure, this figure differs by £500 between 3 quotes which is a little crazy, so it seems like figure they calculate and then add on their own random percent afterwards. Does anyone know what i should realistically be able to get a R8 223 for? I don't want to get ripped off just because a shop thinks "if this guy can afford a Blaser he can also afford to be ripped off", because that's certainly not the case. Currently a Blaser R8 is out of my price bracket and i'll end up with a Tika T3 or Howa 1500 or similar, but, if i can get the price down a little further on the Blaser and reuse a scope off a different rifle i should be able to afford my dream rifle. (Not that a T3 or 1500 is a crap rifle, i just want something that I can keep for a long time and grow with me). Thanks in advance to anyone able to assist.

As a new rifle is a big spend I suggest you buy a copy of Gunmart and get phoning around , an hour of calls could save you a considerable amount , if a dealer has what you want on the shelf he may just do an amazing deal , dont be scared to do some driving if necessary , good luck. Where are you from anyway ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hancock Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Blaser and "cheap" do not fit in the same sentence my friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offroad Gary Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Gregor Mcleod in Tain is the man to deal with, straight as they come, a true gent. If youre struggling to justify the cost, work out the time and expense to get a lesser rifle to shoot straight. Buy once, cry once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzarM1 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I am a Blaser fan and always seem to get the best deal of Gregor McCloud. He has quite a comprehensive stock too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
