Blaser R93 Semi Weight Sporting Rifle - .308 Winchester. The same rifle is offered in a "Sporting" configuration.

The Blaser R93 LRS2 is a German made, precision sniper rifle, chambered in 7.62 NATO, .300 Winchester Magnum, .338 Lapua and 6.5x55mm. The rifle is also available in a plain sporting version (a high end hunting rifle) with a traditional looking wooden stock and none of the tactical 'features'. Surprisingly enough, there is a HANDGUN version of the R93. It is an ultra short R93 with a bolt action, short barrel and pistol grip, though all of the calibers fired by the R93 must have murderous recoil in a handgun.
