Blaser R93/Makura Ulrich Takedown question

[JohnCZ]

Hi team

Chasing some Blaser R93 info, firstly I am late to the R93 party having just purchased a (shop demo) Makura Ulrich Takedown R93 chambered in 30-06 which is yet to arrive. I have noticed that there seems to be a few secondhand R93 barrels in the UK so I may have to import one into Australia. I am thinking a 25-06Rem (30-06 bolt face/mag), 6.5x55SE (I would imagine 30-06 bolt face/mag would work) or what appears to be the most available 243Win (30-06 bolt face however will the short 243 case feed from the 30-06 magazine? These three calibers are excellent for general feral game in Oz, possibly 9.3x62 for Sambar, scrub bulls and buffalo, all would compliment the 30-06 really well.

I have shot a few long action bolt guns like the Rem700 chambered in a 308, 6.5x55, 260 and 243 and they work fine without modifying the magazine, is it that easy with the R93 magazine or is the 243 magazine a must for reliable feeding?

Any info is appreciated, safe shooting and good hunting
Cheers
John

Usually the mag insert comes together with the barrel. These inserts will also limit the travel of the bolt on short action chamberings like the .243.

I know literally nothing about Blaser rifles, held a couple in a shop and felt good, so thanks for the info.
