Blaser R8 Ultimate X Rifle

Product description

MODULAR OPTIONS

1. Adjustable comb

The multi-level adjustable comb is operated intuitively without tools – thanks to its memory function – and ensures a perfect mount in any situation. With this system, the comb can be adjusted to individual body proportions or different optical equipment in a matter of seconds.

2. Recoil Absorption System (RAS)

The recoil pad with absorption system is attached quickly and easily, and is designed to provide a pleasant shooting experience – even with large calibers. The internal absorption elements are available with different degrees of hardness, which can be adjusted to the shooter's preferences and notably reduce muzzle flip when firing.

3. Adjustable recoil pad (ARP)

The ability to adjust the length, weight, and pitch of the recoil pad offers a wide variety of practical advantages. It can be adjusted quickly and easily for different shooters or, depending on weather conditions, for different clothing.

 PRECISE

Key features

• Precise BLASER trigger: the desmodromic trigger mechanism guarantees 100% hunting success. Even if frozen or dirty, the firing system operates in a controlled manner and will function under the most adverse conditions. The 900g trigger turns your thought into action.
• BLASER saddle 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 extensive barrel bedding in the robust receiver ensures greater 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 rotational movement. 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 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 position of the wrist and arm, shooting precision increases considerably in any shooting position.

 SAFE

• Manual cocking system: for decades, Blaser's 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 again.
• Protection against unauthorized use: if the R8 trigger-magazine group is not in the rifle, the cocking lever cannot be locked in 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/0.12"") while pulling the bolt handle back.

 RELIABLE

• Rapid 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 work.
• Magazine lock: the R8 magazine is only unlocked by pressing both catches simultaneously. Accidental operation or dropping of the magazine is practically impossible. Additionally, 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 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 blued and only conventional care is required.

 FAST

• Straight-pull bolt action: fast follow-up shots with 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 the 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 into 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 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 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 no matter the continent or the game.
• Quick scope change: barrel designed for BLASER mount, so the scope or red dot can be exchanged easily.
• For left-handers: most R8s 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.
