They’re unable to get new R93 barrels. I’m unsure if they can source new barrels from other outlets, I’d guess they’d be hard to come by 🤷‍♂️
Because Blaser never did the 284 I may just need to keep my eyes open for the 6.5x284 although my preference in the 6.5 would be the 6.5x47.
Fun and games 😃

Sorry. Didn't realise that you have an R93. My bad :(

Update on my progress. I was unable to find anyone tthat would rechamber the 7-08. I was looking seriously at buying the 7x64 barrel but then completely changed direction and bought a Kelbly rifle in both 6.5x284 and 6.5x47
It is yet to arrive but it’s a beast of a setup.
I feel a little guilty not following my heart with the Blaser but that guilt will vanish quickly I’m sure.

Versatile as the Blaser system is, two purpose chosen rifles are going to give you better outcomes in their specific areas.:handgestures-thumbup:
