The R93 Tactical is a German sniper rifle, designed by Blaser Jagdwaffen. It is based on the Blaser R93 hunting rifle, but has a detachable magazine, muzzle brake and fully adjustable stock. Its production commenced in 1997. This weapon and its versions are used by a number of military, special forces and law enforcement units from all over the world. Users of the Blaser R93 Tactical and its variants include Germany, Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, France, Iceland, Malaysia, Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Ukraine and the United Kingdom. Production of all R93 series rifles was stopped in 2017 in favor to the new R8 bolt-action rifle.

The Blaser R93 Tactical is a bolt-action rifle. However this weapon has a straight-pull action design, that was introduced in the Blaser R93 hunting rifle. This action is more comfortable to use and allows for faster follow-up shots compared to traditional bolt-action rifles. However such design is more complex. This weapon does not have a traditional receiver. Instead it uses an aluminum receiver block, located underneath the barrel and bolt assembly. The Blaser company made its name for its quality and tight machining tolerances.

The Blaser R93 Tactical has a 600 mm (23.6") barrel. There is also a version with a 762 mm (30") barrel. Barrel of the Blaser R93 Tactical can be replaced within 60 seconds.

This weapon is fed from detachable 5-round capacity magazines. When inserted, the magazine sits flush with the underside of the body. Also there are optional 10-round capacity magazines.
