Blaser R8 Success Semi Weight Left

The stock in the left-hand version of the Blaser R8 Success repeating rifle is ergonomically optimized, and additionally, the semi-weight barrel improves swing behavior and inherent precision.
The grained stock made of walnut from wood classes 4 or 7 particularly appeals to lovers of fine stock woods who value functionality. State-of-the-art technology combines with classic elegance to create an extraordinary hunting rifle. The stock is divided into a rear and front stock, allowing the matte black system housing with the golden R8 inscription to stand out elegantly. The noble impression is rounded off by a front stock end made of ebony. The buttstock is equipped with a rubber butt pad and adorned with a stainless steel band. The hole stock ensures a completely relaxed position of the shooting hand and arm in all shooting positions – lying down, offhand, or supported. The shooter's accuracy is immediately increased, and shooting errors such as the annoying "flinching" are almost completely eliminated. The elegant walnut stock gives the modern hunting repeater Blaser R8 a particularly elegant and traditional touch.

The Blaser straight-pull repeating system allows for lightning-fast shot sequences while maintaining a relaxed body position, without having to put down the weapon. 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 more secure shot release. The manual cocking safety system is considered one of the best safety systems. No other mechanical safety can offer 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 a trigger weight of 750 g are the perfect prerequisite for a precise shot.

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 and thus perfectly concentric. They are characterized by high precision and durability. The barrel surface has a DLC coating (without sights) or is plasma nitrided and blued (with sights). 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 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 replace the locking chamber on the bolt. The large-area barrel bedding in the solid system housing 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.
