Blaser R8 Ultimate Leather Semi Weight Left

With the Blaser R8 Ultimate Leather in left-handed configuration, modern design meets perfect ergonomics and improved swing behavior through the Semi Weight barrel
The optimized synthetic hole stock with elegant leather inlays impresses both shooters and hunters alike with its appearance, feel, and handling. The hole stock ensures a completely relaxed position of the shooting hand and arm in all shooting positions – prone, offhand, or supported. The barrel, which is approximately 300g heavier, optimizes the swing behavior and inherent precision.

The Blaser straight-pull repeating system

enables 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 focused on the 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 750 g trigger weight provide 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 has a DLC A+ 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 and 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 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.
