Blaser R8 Luxury Semi Weight Left

The Blaser Straight-Pull Repeater R8 Luxury Semi-Weight for left-handed shooters is equipped with a walnut stock of wood class 4, the heavier Semi-Weight barrel improves swing behavior and inherent precision
The two-part rear and front stock for left-handed shooters are connected by a system box in a bright steel look, adorned with game engravings. The two-part stock made of fine walnut wood class 4 allows the engraved side plates of the Blaser R8 Luxury to shine elegantly. The rear stock with Bavarian cheek piece and double fold has a straight comb, while the black front stock end adds a contrasting accent. A rubber butt pad completes the stock, reducing recoil and providing a slip-resistant resting of the weapon. The appearance of the Blaser R8 Luxury follows the style of a traditional hunting rifle, while the system is extremely modern and safe.The Blaser Semi-Weight barrels are approximately 300 g heavier than the standard interchangeable barrels. This makes the repeater rifle more front-heavy and improves its swing. Additionally, the inherent precision of the barrel increases, and the recoil of the repeater rifle is reduced.The Blaser Straight-Pull Repeating System allows for lightning-fast shot sequences while maintaining a relaxed body posture, without putting the weapon down. This keeps the shooter's eye and the barrel of the weapon continuously focused on the target. The time gained in target acquisition leads to a safer 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 intentionally 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 characteristic of the Blaser direct trigger with a trigger weight of 750 g is 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 and thus 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 19 mm at the muzzle in barrel lengths of 52 cm and 58 cm, both with and without sights. Optionally, the barrels are delivered with an M17x1 barrel thread.
The selection of barrels is enormous, allowing one to hunt any game species on any continent with a Blaser R8. The Blaser Semi-Weight barrels are approximately 300 g heavier than the standard interchangeable barrels. This makes the repeater rifle more front-heavy and improves its swing. Additionally, the inherent precision of the barrel increases, and the recoil of the repeater rifle is reduced. The barrel profile of the Blaser R8 interchangeable barrel Semi-Weight is 19 mm at the muzzle. The caliber selection is also large for R8 Semi-Weight exchange barrels. Blaser distinguishes between different caliber groups: Mini, Standard, Medium, and Magnum. The reason for the classification of the barrels is the modular Blaser principle. The Blaser R8 systems and stocks can be individually combined with various barrel types in different calibers. Only when changing the caliber group is it necessary to swap the bolt head on the bolt. The Blaser R8 barrels in the Semi-Weight barrel profile are available in different barrel lengths depending on the calibers: 52 cm or 58 cm. Additionally, the barrels are manufactured with and without M17x1 barrel threads. There is also the option of whether the barrel is delivered with or without sights.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 papersTechnical data of the weapon:
