1. Around the Globe with One Rifle
Safety, Speed and Accuracy Epitomise the Blaser R8
The sport of hunting is undoubtedly diverse. Representing the most dynamic change to the
bolt action rifle in the last 20 years, the Blaser R8 meets the challenge of contemporary
hunting with unrivalled versatility in the field. Added to this is its ideal balance and weight
distribution, making the Blaser R8 one of the most sought-after new models on offer today.
Key advancements in calibre
While conventional rifles operate on a rotary bolt system, the Blaser R8 locks the bolt
directly to the barrel with a unique design that offers unmatched speed and versatility. This
method of locking enables a fully interchangeable calibre system to work, unleashing 40
calibre options from 222 Remington to 500 Jeffery.
Trigger assembly improvements
The Blaser R8 features the first of its kind removable fire control system. The system
combines a detachable box magazine and trigger assembly into a single unit. This unit can be
locked into place for those who do not prefer a detachable magazine. Recoil control is
superb with a parallel comb stock that offers just the right cast for enjoyable large calibre
shooting.

2. High accuracy precision trigger
The trigger mechanism is positively closed by a cam and leverage system rather than a more
conventional spring, guaranteeing the trigger will function even when iced or heavily soiled.
In addition to the 900g trigger, without creep, the barrel and saddle mount form one
accurate unit. Notches are machined into the top of the barrel to ensure a constant point of
impact.
Optimum barrel bedding
The large-scale bedding of the barrel into the solid receiver guarantee consistency when
exchanging the barrel. The radial concentric locking system locks directly into the barrel
without any rotary motion and offers 14 locking surfaces for 360-degree engagement. The
barrel and chamber are perfectly concentric and cold hammer forged for most calibres for
precision and durability.
Safe and reliable
Blaser’s manual cocking system is regarded as the safest in the world. The R8 is cocked the
instant before shooting. Should the shot not be taken, simply pressing down on the cocking
lever causes it to slide back smoothly into decocked position. With the R8 integrated trigger
guard, the cocking lever cannot be set in cocked position by unauthorized users offering
protection against misuse.
The R8 magazine is only released when both the release buttons are pressed making
accidental drop out of the magazine almost impossible. In addition, both release buttons can
be locked by a lever inside the magazine. Damage from foreign objects is prevented by the
close construction of the R8. All metal parts of made of rustproof material or specifically
finished to protect against corrosion.
Design considerations
The overall length of the Blaser R8 is a full 3” shorter than traditional rifles. The shortened
length lends unequalled balance and weight distribution to the Blaser R8. The cheek piece
features a Bavarian style design that provides amply surface for a proper cheek weld. The
ergonomics of the Blaser R8 are immediately apparent and are available for left and right-
handed shooters.
Ergonomic stock
Blaser stocks feature a distinct palm swell and optimal cast to provide an ideal grip that
encourages a relaxed shooting position and reduces the risk of flinching. The thumbhole
stocks of the R8 Success models offer completely relaxed wrist and arm posture for
significantly enhanced shooting accuracy in any firing position.

3. The last word
Benchmark safety mechanisms combined with ergonomic design and the versatility of easily
interchangeable barrels make the R8 the ideal hunting companion across the globe.
