Both barrels manufactured in 1998. 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 .30-06 and is fitted with a Leupold 3x9 Vari-XII c scope. The action features the classic Blaser straight pull bolt with cocking safety. The barrel and action are fitted in a synthetic Schnabel tip pistol grip sporting stock. Included with the rifle is a 22 3/4 inch .243 Winchester barrel with the same Leupold scope as the affixed barrel, a leather sling, soft case, and Americase aluminum travel case.
