Blaser R8 Intuition Rifle

BLASER R8: unrivaled in every way

The most advanced straight-pull bolt-action rifle on the market; fast, accurate, and safe.

As diverse as hunting itself are the demands that hunters place on their rifles.

The R8 is more than just a bolt-action rifle; it is a platform that allows for interchangeable calibers while providing ergonomic perfection in its stock and unrivaled trigger performance.

The BLASER R8 Intuition is the base model, in wood, but with all the benefits of the high-performance hunting rifle that it is.

Its stock is specially designed for the female anatomy.

ACCURATE

• Precise BLASER trigger: the desmodromic trigger mechanism guarantees 100% hunting success. Even if it freezes or gets dirty, the firing system works in a controlled manner and will function under the most adverse conditions. The 900g trigger turns your thought into action.
• BLASER mount: the barrel and mount form a precision unit: the notches on the top of the barrel, directly above the chamber, ensure a constant point of impact with its free-floating barrel.
• Optimal barrel bedding: the wide barrel bedding in the robust casing guarantees greater shooting accuracy after changing the barrel. Deformation of the stock due to extreme weather never influences the position of the barrel.
• BLASER radial locking system: balance and precision: the robust concentric locking system locks directly into the barrel without rotating movements. The 14 locking points provide a 360-degree closure.
• Hammer-forged barrel and chamber: precision and durability: the barrel and chamber are cold hammer-forged in most calibers. The barrel and chamber are perfectly concentric.
• Perfect stock design: a relaxed hand position promotes accuracy. Blaser stocks, with their anatomical shape, provide an ideal grip. The thumbhole stocks of the R8 Success models go even further: thanks to a completely relaxed wrist and arm posture, shooting accuracy increases significantly in any shooting position.

SAFE

• Manual cocking system: for decades, the Blaser manual cocking system has been a benchmark. It is known as one of the safest in the world. No mechanical system offers the safety of an un-tensioned firing pin spring. The R8 is cocked just before firing. If you do not fire, simply press the cocking lever to uncock the rifle.
• Protection against unauthorized use: if the R8's trigger-magazine group is not in the rifle, the cocking lever cannot be set to the cocked position. This makes it the best protection against unauthorized use!
• No unintentional opening: if the R8 is uncocked and the bolt is closed, the bolt handle is locked. To open the bolt safely, simply move the cocking lever slightly forward (approx. 3mm/0.1") while pulling back the bolt handle.

RELIABLE

• Quick disassembly - easy cleaning: the R8 can be disassembled and reassembled in seconds. The R8 can be easily cleaned of snow, dirt, leaves, and pine needles at any time.
• Controlled trigger system: maximum reliability - even if it freezes or gets very dirty, the R8 trigger system continues to function.
• Magazine lock: the R8 magazine is only unlocked by pressing both release buttons simultaneously. Actuating the magazine or having it fall out unintentionally is practically impossible. Furthermore, a tab located on the magazine allows the release buttons to be locked.
• Excellent protection: the construction of the R8 casing prevents foreign objects from entering. When the magazine is out of the rifle, a protective cover protects it from dirt. All metal parts are made of corrosion-resistant materials or are protected against corrosion. The interior of the barrel and the chamber are burnished, requiring only conventional care.

FAST

• Straight-pull system: fast consecutive shots and a relaxed posture: the bolt handle remains in a very ergonomic position above the trigger guard. The rifle and eye stay on target to save time and ensure a perfect shot.
• "Blind" magazine change: the magazine release buttons can be operated "blindly" due to their perfect positioning above the trigger guard. By pressing both buttons at the same time, the magazine is released directly into your hand. A second magazine can be inserted quickly without looking.
• Dual loading capability: the R8 can be loaded and unloaded in two ways: with the magazine removed or inserted in the rifle. With the bolt open, cartridges can also be loaded or unloaded quickly and easily from above.

MANEUVERABLE

• Short design: the R8 magazine design above the trigger allows the total length of the R8 to be significantly shorter than any conventional bolt-action rifle.
• Optimal balance: the balanced weight distribution promotes intuitive handling, as well as a fast and fluid shooting position.
• Simple disassembly: the R8 is disassembled, stored, and reassembled in a few seconds without changing the point of impact.

VERSATILE

• Around the world with the same rifle: thanks to the interchangeable barrel system, the R8 is the ideal companion regardless of the continent or the animal.
• Quick scope change: barrel designed for the BLASER mount, so the scope or red dot sight can be easily interchanged.
• For left-handed shooters: most R8 models are available in a full left-handed version, which includes the stock, bolt, and shell ejector.
• Compact solutions for women and men: R8 Intuition & R8 Compact.
