PRECISE

• Precise BLASER trigger: the desmodromic trigger mechanism guarantees a 100% success rate when hunting. 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 floating barrel.
• Optimal barrel bedding: the ample barrel bedding in the robust receiver ensures greater shooting accuracy after a barrel change. Stock deformation due to extreme weather never influences the barrel position.
• BLASER radial locking system: balance and precision: the robust concentric locking system locks directly into the barrel without rotating movements. The 14 locking lugs provide a 360-degree seal.
• 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 precision. Blaser stocks, with an 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 is considerably increased 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 security of a de-cocked mainspring. The R8 is cocked just before firing. If you do not fire, simply press the cocking lever to de-cock the rifle again.
• Protection against unauthorized use: if the R8 trigger-magazine group is not in the rifle, the cocking lever cannot be set to the cocked position. This is therefore the best protection against unauthorized use!
• No involuntary opening: if the R8 is de-cocked and the bolt is closed, the bolt handle is locked. To open the bolt safely, simply move the cocking lever slightly forward (approx. 3mm/1.8") while pulling the bolt handle backward.

RELIABLE

• Fast disassembly - easy cleaning: the R8 can be disassembled and reassembled in seconds. The R8 can be cleaned of snow, dirt, leaves, and pine needles at any time very easily.
• Controlled trigger system: maximum reliability - even if it freezes or gets very dirty, the R8 trigger system keeps working.
• Magazine lock: the R8 magazine is only unlocked by pressing both catches simultaneously. Accidental activation or dropping of the magazine is practically impossible. In addition, a tab on the magazine allows for the locking of the magazine catches.
• Excellent protection: the construction of the R8 receiver prevents the entry of foreign objects. When the magazine is out of the rifle, a protective cover shields it from dirt. All metal parts are made of corrosion-resistant materials or are protected against corrosion. The inside of the barrel and chamber are burnished and only require conventional care.

FAST

• Straight-pull bolt system: consecutive shots with great speed and a relaxed posture: the bolt handle stays in a highly ergonomic position above the trigger guard. The rifle and eye remain on the target to save time and ensure a perfect shot.
• "Blind" magazine change: the magazine release catches can be operated "blind" due to their perfect positioning on 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 possibility: 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 reloaded or unloaded from the top quickly and easily.

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 quick and fluid shooting position.
• Simple disassembly: the R8 is disassembled, stored, and assembled again 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 no matter the continent or the animal.
• Quick scope change: barrel designed for the BLASER mount, so the scope or red dot can be easily interchanged.
• For left-handed users: most R8s are available in a full left-handed version, which includes the stock, bolt, and casing ejector.
• Compact solutions for women and men: R8 Intuition & R8 Compact.
