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 fluted heavy barrel bears the 1997 date proof, maker, caliber, and model info on the left and an importer mark on the right. The barrel is topped with a Kahles K525i 5-25x56 scope (commonly retails around $3,000). The receiver is currently set up with a single shot "sled" installed. Mounted in a multipoint checkered forend and thumbhole stock with Bavarian cheekpiece, and solid recoil pad.
