ACCURATE

• Precise BLASER trigger: The desmodromic trigger mechanism guarantees 100% hunting success. Even in freezing conditions or with dirt, the firing system works in a controlled manner and will function in the most adverse conditions. The 900g trigger turns your thought into action.
• BLASER saddle mount: The barrel and the mount form a precision unit: the cutouts on the top of the barrel, directly above the chamber, ensure a constant point of impact with your free-floating barrel.
• Optimal barrel bedding: The wide barrel bedding in the robust receiver guarantees increased shooting accuracy after a barrel change. Stock warping due to extreme weather never influences the barrel position.
• BLASER radial bolt system: Balance and precision: the robust concentric bolt system locks directly into the barrel without rotating movements. The 14 locking lugs 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. Anatomically shaped Blaser stocks 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 uncocked mainspring. 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 trigger-magazine unit is not in the rifle, the cocking lever cannot be set to the cocked position. Therefore, this is the best protection against unauthorized use!
• No involuntary 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/1.8"") while pulling back on the bolt handle.

RELIABLE

• Quick 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. Activating the magazine or having it fall out unintentionally is practically impossible. In addition, a tab located on the magazine allows the magazine catches to be locked.
• Excellent protection: The construction of the R8 receiver prevents the entry of foreign objects. When the magazine is outside the rifle, a protective cover protects it from dirt. All metal parts are made of corrosion-resistant materials or are protected against corrosion. The inside of the barrel and the chamber are burnished, and only conventional care is required.

FAST

• Straight-pull bolt system: Quick follow-up shots and a relaxed posture: the bolt handle is in a very ergonomic position above the trigger guard. The rifle and the 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 above the trigger guard. By pressing both buttons at the same time, the magazine is released directly into the hand. A second magazine can be inserted quickly without looking.
• Dual loading option: 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 over 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 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 no matter the continent or the animal.
• Quick scope change: Barrel designed for the BLASER mount, so the scope or red dot sight can be easily swapped.
• For left-handers: Most R8s are available in a full left-handed version, which includes the stock, bolt, and case ejector.
• Compact solutions for women and men: R8 Intuition & R8 Compact.
