Blaser R8 Professional Success Rifle

Product description

ACCURATE

• Precise BLASER trigger: the desmodromic trigger mechanism guarantees 100% hunting success. Even in freezing conditions or when dirty, the firing system remains under control and will function in the most adverse conditions. The 900g trigger turns your thought into action.
• BLASER mount: the barrel and the mount form a precision unit: the notches on the top of the barrel, directly above the chamber, ensure a constant point of impact with the free-floating barrel.
• Optimal barrel bedding: the large barrel bedding in the robust receiver ensures increased shooting precision 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 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 on the R8 Success models go even further: thanks to a completely relaxed posture of the wrist and arm, shooting accuracy is significantly 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 safety of a decocked mainspring. The R8 is cocked just before firing. If you do not fire, simply press the cocking lever to decock 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. This makes it the best protection against unauthorized use!
• No unintentional opening: if the R8 is decocked 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 the bolt handle back.

• 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 frozen or very dirty, the R8 trigger system continues to function.
• Magazine lock: the R8 magazine is only unlocked by pressing both catches simultaneously. Unintended operation of the magazine or it falling out is virtually impossible. In addition, a tab 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 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 interior of the barrel and chamber are burnished and only require conventional care.

FAST

• Straight-pull bolt action: rapid consecutive shots with a relaxed posture: the bolt handle remains in a highly ergonomic position above the trigger guard. The rifle and your eye remain on the target, saving time and ensuring 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 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 above, quickly and easily.

HANDY

• 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 encourages intuitive handling, as well as a fast and fluid shooting position.
• Simple disassembly: the R8 can be disassembled, stored, and reassembled in 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 BLASER mounts, so the scope or red dot sight can be easily swapped.
• For left-handed users: most R8 models are available in a complete left-handed version, which includes the stock, bolt, and shell ejector.
• Compact solutions for women and men: R8 Intuition & R8 Compact.
