Blaser R8 Rifles sit at the pinnacle of modern hunting rifle technology, while still managing to be one of most elegant and stylish rifles on the market. Due to its modularity, a single Blaser R8 can be configured to take down anything walking on four legs. The German engineered Blaser R8 is unlike almost any other rifle on the market, the R8’s straight pull action isn’t just incredibly slick but it’s incredibly safe as well.
Versatility through Modularity
By design the Blaser R8 rifles are completely modular, within minutes you can turn your heirloom quality safari rifle with Grade 11 wooden stock into a rugged and lightweight deep country rifle. The Blaser R8 Rifle can be configured into a wide array of popular American and European chambering from the .204 Ruger to the .500 Jeffery. Changing calibers is quick and incredibly easy, just requiring the loosening of two screws to swap the barrel, magazine change, and the changing of the bolt head if chambering’s are vastly different.
Accuracy
In terms of accuracy the Blaser R8 is at the top of its game—the stock, trigger, bolt, and barrel have all been engineered to ensure that every R8 rifle is dead-on. R8 rifle stocks are designed to feel like an extension of the shooter, and better yet help mitigate recoil with options like KickStop (not available with Success Stocks). The R8 has a light crisp trigger enhancing the accuracy of well-placed shot. The barrel and chamber form two perfectly concentric circles, this kind of attention to detail results in the unparalleled accuracy Blaser is known for.
Safety
The design of the Blaser R8’s action make its one of the safest rifles on the planet while out in the field, during transport, and in the home. Unlike most conventional hunting rifles that cock when a round is pushed into the chamber, the Blaser R8 cocking and safety mechanisms are completely dependent on each other. To in order to cock the rifle, the bolt must be closed and you must push forward on the safety/cocking lever, only now is the rifle ready to fire. This design allows you to carry the rifle—safely—with a round in the chamber but is easily cocked the moment you’re ready to fire. To decock the R8 you simply pull back on the cocking lever and the gun is once again completely safe. To ensure the gun is completely safe in the home just remove the magazine from the R8 and the rifle will be unable to cock.
