Blaser R8 rail to picatinny conversion

This video shows a cost effective way to convert your Blaser R8 saddle mount from a ring system to a picatinny rail system for night vision or thermal imaging. You can read my blog about all sorts of deer hunting kit at
thedeerfinder....
You can find Tier One at www.tier-one.eu...

Huh. Look at that. So simple I wish I had thought of it. We will be picking one up to use on an extra Blaser base.

Just one question ,why is it not better to buy a ready made weaver ? Good video btw

[@timweston1978]

csinor79 It just means that you can use your existing mounts saving lots of money

Hello Tim, if you remove the rail and put the scope rings with scope back. Is the scope stil zero ?

[@timweston1978]

piet buks it will stay zeroed if you have a rail and a ring set not if you take the rail off the base

I have the blaser r8 saddle the one I have has no inlets on it, it just has the two holes, I'm wondering which picatinny rail to order? I emailed Tier1 and rang them but didn't get a response after speaking with them. Any help would be appreciated.

That sounds like mine. It should fit
