dannywayoflife Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hi gents, I'm thinking about buying one of these or the lrs2 as I like the idea of been able to have one rifle in a few calibers rather than having several rifles in various calibers! I'd ideally like a 223 for fox and target and maybe either 308 or 6mmbr for target and deer. Do any of you guys have any experience of these rifles in these calibers and roughly how much can they be picked up for second hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.5shooter Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hi there, My friend over here in Northern Ireland has a .223 I think in LRS model, its the tactical version anyway but its a great rifle, very accurate, he shoots a bit of f class comp with it. He looked into getting a 308 barrel conversion for it and I think he told me it was around a grand so hes just going to get a whole new rifle for his 308. Not sure about cost though.

al4x Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 money wise 2.5 to 3K for a second hand one if you can find one, ok as a target rifle but I'd suggest heavy if you carry it anywhere for fox and deer. Then as said its probably another K at least for the second barrel For the money buy two guns one for target and one for foxing and deer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannywayoflife Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 A k for a barrel!! Omg !!!!!! The weight wouldn't be too much of a drama as most fixing would be from my disco roof. But £1000 per spare barrel that's outrageous! Is the UA TPG1 the same with barrel costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.5shooter Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 You need another bolt you see as its a different cartridge size bolt face. To be hobest youd be better getting two rifles and save youreself the hassle of changing barrels and rezeroing everytime you want to use it as the cost wont be a vast difference. Just my opinion.

JRDS Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 McLeods Website has alot of Blaser stuff on it and yes barrels can be over 1k. http://www.rmacleod.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 best option is to just look at other options unless you have a serious gun budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleaner4hire Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 It would be just as expensive to get a custom action and do a swap barrel on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannywayoflife Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Really! I'm assuming tho that a switch barrel custom would be a more difficult barrel swap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
