Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Blaser rifle one scope for two barrels

I was wondering if someone could tell me something?
I have a blaser r93 in 300wm and just purchased a barrel for it in 7mm-08, I have a detachable mount on the scope on the 300wm, if I use the same scope on the 7mm-08 barrel would i have to re adjust the scope? i have the scope set at 2.5 inches at 100yds now.

Yep, you will. No way around it. Better off getting another scope, and mount. Some of the multi zero scopes sort of work, but most guys quickly tire of keeping track of the settings.

Yes sir,you are going to have to make an adjustment.Be sure to make a note of corrections and when you want to go back to 300wm you will be all set other than shooting to verify and possibly making a minor adj,mainly due to having to re-adjust scope mount itself.This process can be done although another scope and mount by far is more convenient.

I agree with the others here. I've had an R93 an now a K95; both have the same scope mounting set-up as the newer R8. Your scope once sighted in with one barrel may be able to be taken off and then put back on the same barrel with good repeatability, but not so if then used with a differently chambered barrel.

If you don't mind the re-zeroing with your other barrel, fine, but if so, your best bet is to buy another Blaser ring/base set and another scope...for Christmas!
