PRECISE

• Precise BLASER trigger: The desmodromic trigger mechanism guarantees 100% success in the hunt. Even when frozen or dirty, the firing system works in a controlled manner and will function in the most adverse conditions. The 900g trigger translates your thoughts 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 ensures greater shot precision after a barrel change. Stock deformation due to extreme weather never affects the barrel position.
• BLASER radial locking system: Balance and precision: the robust concentric locking system locks directly into the barrel without any 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 precision. 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 wrist and arm posture, shot precision increases considerably 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 firing pin spring. 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 is therefore 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/1.8") while pulling the bolt handle back.

RELIABLE

• Fast 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 frozen or very dirty, the R8 trigger system continues to function.
• Magazine lock: The R8 magazine is only unlocked by pressing both catches simultaneously. Accidental operation or dropping of the magazine is practically impossible. In addition, a tab on the magazine allows the magazine catches to be locked.
• Excellent protection: The R8 housing construction prevents the entry of foreign objects. 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 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 remains in a very ergonomic position above the trigger guard. The rifle and eye stay 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 options: 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 from the top quickly and easily.

HANDY

• Short design: The design of the R8 magazine above the trigger allows the total length of the R8 to be significantly shorter than any conventional bolt-action rifle.
• Optimal balance: 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 exchanged.
• For left-handed shooters: Most R8s 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.
