Bodacious Black Bleikers — $20K Worth of Swiss Perfection
You are looking at $20,100 of Competition Rifles here. (Click Image for full-screen version.)
Don’t inquire about the price of a Bleiker competition rifle. As the expression goes, “If you have to ask, you can’t afford it”. At the Pardini USA booth at SHOT Show we saw a pair of bodacious black beauties — two “full-race” Bleikers, one a smallbore match rifle (.22 LR) and the other a 300m position rifle chambered in 6mmBR Norma. The combined price for the two rifles was a jaw-dropping $20,100.00. Yep, over $20K for the two. The 6mmBR rig was $10,200 while the smallbore rifle was $9,900.00.
Bleikers command such high prices because they win. At recent ISSF 300m and Smallbore Championships, Bleikers have been used by many of the medal winners. A gun is worth $10K if it can really put you on the podium or, better yet, deliver a world championship.
Take a look at this slick feature on the 300m gun. The adjustable cheek-pad automatically tilts up (for clearance) when you retract the bolt. That’s clever Swiss Engineering.

Price`s are insane. I guess its in keeping with shooting in the UK being a white collar sport.
$2000 = stock
$1500 = action
$500 = trigger
$600 = barrel installed
$1,000 = sights
Total = $5,600
Where do they fit in the additional $5,000 of value for either rifle??
Guess those shooters able to afford one don’t think much about keeping their sight picture during bolt cycling huh?
Um, probably not.
Since the centerfire gun is designed for 300 meter competition. And all the rounds are single loaded.
