Blaser R8 Standard bolt action rifle made for the hunter's hand.
Six are the principles on which the German manufacturer has based its design of the R8: speed, accuracy, safety, hunting readiness, reliability and versatility. It is made of grade 2 wood, Bavarian cheek-piece stock, rubber butt pad, black fore-end and metal sights.
Magazine capacity: 4 + 1 in standard calibers and 3+1 in medium and magnum calibers.
Total length: 102 cm in standard calibers and 110 cm in magnum calibers.
Weight: 3.3 kg approx. with standard barrel.
Barrel length: 58 cm approx. in standard calibers and 65 cm approx. in magnum calibers.
Stock: R8 stock design with straight cheek-piece and cheek piece.
Also available for left-handed users.
Available in Standard and Luxus versions.
- Reliability
Supported by the trigger system, and by a receiver and magazine cover that protects them from soiling. - Safety
The three-position manual cocking safety, selectable by simply moving the safety lever a few millimeters. - Speed
Straight bolt. And even faster because of the position of the bolt, closer to the trigger and the new magazine, which can be removed by pressing two buttons on either side of the trigger. - Accuracy
The trigger has no travel and offers a clean action. The locking system, the new design of the pistol grip, which is slightly curved outward, and the new straight stock also have an impact: a perfect grip on the weapon, absolute control over the trigger, and more comfortable and effective recoil absorption and loading. - Versatility
Thanks to its interchangeable barrel system, it is possible to hunt on all five continents with a single rifle, thanks to its interchangeable barrels and scopes (with the Blaser mount system). Also, the magazine does not need to be replaced if we change caliber, since each barrel comes with a housing that "adapts" the magazine to the new caliber. - Ready for hunting
The R8 is a rifle whose length, weight and weight distribution are designed to make you "feel the rifle in your hands". The balanced weight distribution has been achieved by reducing the length of the receiver and barrel by about 10 centimeters compared to a standard rifle.
Standard configuration of the R8 model: 58 barrel, smooth snorkel and no muzzle brake

When the word Rifle is used, anyone, including a non-expert, evokes a classic Mauser bolt-action rifle of military type. We could say that it is the current rifle par excellence, it is the most used in any hunting modality, the most universal for its variety of calibers, weights, sizes, finishes, applications, manufacturers and prices.
It is a repeating rifle, that is to say a rifle that allows repeating the shot whose action consists of a bolt that, manually operated by a rotation and thrust movement, captures the cartridge from the magazine and introduces it into the chamber "locking it" (closing it), arms the punch or needle, to subsequently allow the shot to be fired.
The mechanism of the bolt can be variable, currently there are bolts with axial action without apparent rotation. The ammunition magazine admits a variable number of cartridges, usually 5 for non-Magnum calibers and 3 or 4 for the latter. Some models allow the use of a detachable magazine.
Repetition should never be confused with automatism.
They are the most accurate rifles and the simplest to build.
In some models, barrels of different caliber can be interchanged, in which case the long action group (Magnum calibers) and the short action group (Magnum calibers) are compatible.
Advantages
- It is the most robust and reliable of all
- High ballistic accuracy (unmatched by other repeating systems)
- The extraction and reloading mechanisms provide total operational safety
- It is slow firing, making it difficult to shoot quickly and fluently
- It is too large for long days of hunting on foot
- The manual action of the bolt unholsters the weapon at each shot, which forces the hunter to retake the aiming elements and means a loss of time that can be crucial in the second shot
