LOT 444 Blaser R93 Straight Pull Bolt Action Rifle with Swarovski Scope and Case - Serial no. BX-07700, 375 H& H cal., 24 1/2 inch round bbl., black finish, synthetic stock. The Blaser series of rifles are known for their extreme modularity. The design allows the user to change the barrel assembly with just two screws. Their other claim to fame is that they retain zero after doing so by having the scope mounted to the barrel rather than the receiver. This makes swaps quick and easy in the field. The barrel currently affixed is chambered in 375 Holland & Holland Magnum and is fitted with a Swarovski Habicht 1.5-6x42 scope. The action features the classic Blaser straight pull bolt with cocking safety and an import mark on the left side. Mounted in a synthetic pistol grip stock with rubberized grip pads and a Blaser recoil pad. Includes a Blaser case, leather sling, tools, and an illuminating scope turret. CONDITION: Excellent overall, retaining 99% plus original finish, with some light handling marks. Mechanically excellent. Optics clear, reticle crisp. Case is excellent. Estimate: 3,500 - 5,500
