The Blaser R8 is a bolt action rifle that enjoys high popularity worldwide and is technically unique. Above all, the R8 is known for its straight pull repeating system, which allows for very fast firing sequences, thus helping it to achieve the status of a very popular driven hunt weapon that is manufactured according to all the quality standards of the Blaser brand.
Blaser relies on a proven trigger system with "dry" characteristics for the R8, which is said to ensure high precision. Blaser is equally known for its manual cocking safety system, which is said to give the guns a high degree of safety and allows the striker spring to be cocked only immediately before firing.
Furthermore, a feature often appreciated by hunters is the R8's ability to quickly change barrels of different calibers with little effort and without the use of complex special tools. In addition, the R8 can be cleaned quickly and easily and is therefore quite weather resistant.
With the R8,Blaser also offers customers a high degree of customization of their own hunting rifle and many different model variants.
