Blaser R8 Intuition

The stock of the Blaser R8 Intuition hunting rifle features a specially adapted Monte Carlo-shaped buttstock, 35 cm long, designed for female hunters.
The pistol grip is also ergonomically tailored to the size of delicate women's hands. The steeper angle of the pistol grip allows for comfortable trigger operation and a better grip feel. The high comb ensures better contact between the cheek and the stock. The elegant walnut stock from wood classes 4 or 7 is divided into the butt and fore-end, allowing the matte black action with the golden R8 inscription to stand out elegantly. The noble impression is rounded off by a black fore-end cap. The buttstock is equipped with a recoil pad and adorned with a stainless steel inlay. The extra-soft comfort recoil pad offers excellent recoil reduction and gliding properties. In combination with the shorter stock length, the Blaser R8 Intuition enables a smooth mounting and a relaxed arm position.

The Blaser straight-pull repeating system allows for lightning-fast shot sequences while maintaining a relaxed body posture, without having to set the weapon down. This keeps the shooter's eye and the barrel of the weapon continuously on target. The time gained in target acquisition leads to a more secure shot release. The manual safety system is considered one of the best safety systems. No other mechanical safety can provide the security of a relaxed firing pin spring. The R8 is deliberately cocked just before the shot by pushing the cocking slider forward. To relax the system, a light pressure on the cocking slider is sufficient, and it glides back. At the same time, the weapon cannot be unintentionally opened, as the chamber handle is blocked when the bolt is relaxed and locked. If the magazine, including the trigger unit, is not in the weapon, the R8 cannot be cocked and is thus safe from unauthorized use.
The magazine change is quick and easy with a short press on the two release buttons, which are ideally positioned above the trigger. The magazine buttons can be locked, preventing unintentional removal of the magazine reliably.
The excellent trigger characteristics of the Blaser direct trigger with only 700 g trigger weight are the perfect prerequisite for a precise shot. Optionally, the Blaser Atzl trigger system is offered: the trigger weight can be adjusted to either 200 g or 600 g. Retrofitting is possible at the factory.

The modular Blaser principle: Every Blaser R8 repeating rifle is freely configurable. There are countless equipment variants that can be individually combined.
The Blaser R8 barrels and chambers are cold forged, making them perfectly concentric. They are characterized by high precision and durability. The barrel surface is plasma-nitrided and blued. The ball barrels are manufactured in the standard barrel contour with a barrel profile of 17 mm at the muzzle in barrel lengths: 42 cm, 47 cm, 52 cm, 58 cm, 65 cm, both with and without sights. Optionally, the barrels are delivered with a barrel thread M 15x1.
The selection of calibers is enormous, allowing one to hunt any game species on any continent with a Blaser R8. Blaser distinguishes between different caliber groups: .22 LR, Mini, Standard, Medium, and Magnum. The reason is the modular Blaser principle. The Blaser R8 systems and stocks can be individually combined with different barrel types in various calibers. Only when changing the caliber group is it necessary to additionally exchange the locking chamber on the bolt. The large-area barrel bedding in the solid action guarantees that the weapon shoots accurately again after a caliber change. Another advantage: the R8 can be disassembled and reassembled in seconds without changing the point of impact. Most R8 models are also available as a complete version with a left-hand stock and left-hand system.

Included in the delivery: Cover caps for magazine and magazine well, hex key for disassembling the weapon, small tube of gun grease, operating instructions, warranty papers.
