Could the blaser r93 be at risk of being fased out by the pushing of the r8? I would hate to shell out for the former when the parts are not interchangeable to find in a couple of years the bits have disappeared, :doh: all thoughts welcome, bb

I doubt it not while folks are still "daft" enough to buy them.

Ok got me tin hat on and safely under the mantlet............................................. INCOMING!
 
I think it is pretty safe to say they will be at some point.

I am buying a R8 tomorrow. Couple of hundred more and its a big improvement on the R93, to top it off there is no risk as there is with a R93
 
The r8 is marketed as being an improvement on the r93, if it proves to be a commercial success and sales of the r93 fall off as a result I cannot see any commercial reason why Blaser would continue to make them. atb Tim
 
There was a long discussion about this on an American web site and it seems they have stopped production but there is enough replacement parts to keep them going for the forseeable future.
A company in Bulgaria are already making parts, enough to make a whole R93 rifle, so regardless of what Blaser do there will not be a problem.
It seems the Bulgarian company has looked into this and the Blaser patent expires some time in 2012 so they have not gone into world wide advertising just yet.
I have already had a Bulgarian Saddle mount, identical to the Blaser and at £220 very good indeed.
 
Having 4 x R93 Blaser's can you give me the contact details please.

Also pretty sure the reason why you can get the good deals on the .243 R93 is because they are off loading old stock.
