Blaser R8 Professional link version

The Blaser R8 Professional hunting repeater in left-hand configuration is designed for the toughest use under the most adverse conditions.

The robust, one-piece synthetic stock with black elastomer grip inserts on the pistol grip and forend is very secure even in wet and cold conditions. The stock is available in dark brown, dark green, savanna, or optionally in camo. The stock cap, specially developed for the R8 Professional, offers excellent recoil reduction and great gliding properties. All surfaces are corrosion-protected and weather-resistant. The closed construction prevents the ingress of foreign bodies.

The Blaser R8 Professional equipment options allow the shooter to customize the weapon even better to individual needs. In addition to the selectable stock colors, the rear stock can be equipped with a kickstop or a stronger stock cap. In the variant with the dark green stock, an adjustable cheek piece is optionally available. Additionally, the Blaser R8 is available as a Professional S without a removable magazine.

The Blaser straight-pull repeater system enables lightning-fast shot sequences while maintaining a relaxed body posture, without having to put 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 located 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 repeater 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 barrels have a DLC A+ coating (Diamond Like Carbon). This type of coating, which uses carbon that has the hardness of a diamond, is very environmentally friendly and biocompatible compared to galvanic coatings. Through a thin-film coating process, the surfaces of the barrels achieve a high degree of hardness and become particularly resistant to mechanical damage and corrosion, as well as very smooth. This reduces maintenance effort and gives the barrel its noble, satin matte, deep black appearance. 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 caliber groups is it necessary to additionally replace the locking chamber on the bolt. The large-area bedding of the barrel in the solid system box ensures 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.
