Blaser R93 Tactical 2
Характеристики винтовки Blaser R93 LRS2 так понравились руководству и сотрудникам силовых ведомств Германии, что Blaser Jagdwaffen GmbH получила заказ на разработку и изготовление специальной версии винтовки для эксплуатации полицейским спецназом. Так, в конце 2001 года, появилась ее боевая модификация под названием Blaser R93 Tactical 2, которая также постепенно совершенствовалась. Отличие этой модели от гражданской предшественницы заключается в следующем:
– доступны калибры .223Rem, .308Win, .300WinMag;
– добавление калибра .338LM под мощный 8,6 мм дальнобойный патрон;
– ствол длиной 760 мм;
– удлинение ствольной коробки согласно добавленному боеприпасу;
– добавление на переднюю часть ложа тактического обвеса с дополнительными планками;
– пистолетная рукоять;
– складывающийся вбок приклад.

Design
The LRT (Long Range Tactical), LRS 2 (Long Range Sporter 2) and Tactical 2 rifles are straight-pull bolt-action take down sniper rifles. The straight-pull action design was introduced in the Blaser R93 hunting rifle line. These actions allows for faster follow-up shots compared to traditional turn bolt actions. The rifles are designed to fire small groups (sub 0.07 mrad (7 mm at 100 m; 0.25 moa) with factory match ammunition.
Bulgarian Army snipers
The LRS 2 version, comes chambered in .223 Remington, 6mm Norma BR, 6.5×55mm, .308 Winchester and .300 Winchester Magnum.
An uncommon part of its design is that it is a straight-pull bolt-action rather than a turn-bolt, which allows for much faster follow-up shots. The 14-lug radial collet ensures the centering of the cartridge when fed into the chamber assisting in its accuracy. Barrel changes by an experienced person can take place in under 60 seconds.
The Tactical 1 (very low production) or 2 version is available in .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, .300 Winchester Magnum and .338 Lapua Magnum and has a larger frame, action and barrel to accommodate the use of the .338 Lapua Magnum chambering. The sight is mounted directly to the barrel as normal, however, the design allows the barrel and sight to be removed from the body of the rifle by undoing the two hex screws with a hex key accessed from under the body. This allows the rifle to be carried in a more compact fashion and can be reassembled easily in less than 30 seconds. The safety catch is mounted on the rear of the bolt and reveals a large red dot when pushed forward and up to the “fire” position. One feature of the bolt is that when unloaded and no magazine inserted, the safety has to be pushed forward slightly in order to pull the bolt back. The 5 round magazines in .308 calibre sit flush with the underside of the body when inserted.
