Rifles Descriptions
Blaser Jagdwaffen GmbH R8 Semi Weight
Blaser found an ergonomically superior solution that essentially supports fast and intuitive handling. Magazine and trigger unit merged into one compact module. The magazine buttons are positioned right above the trigger guard. Thus, the magazine can be released blindly and within a split second. When removing the magazine, the R8 automatically de-cocks and once the magazine is removed, the cocking slide cannot engage anymore. Enhancing the reliable and precise performance of the trigger posed a very special engineering challenge that has been brilliantly mastered. The new Blaser Precision Trigger breaks crisp as glass at a trigger pull of 750 gram / 1 5/8 lbs. Thanks to its extremely short release time it turns the shooter’s thought impulse immediately into an accurate shot. The innovative design does not rely on a spring to reset the trigger after firing, which marks the next leap in rifle technology. The desmodromic trigger mechanism offers unsurpassed reliability in extreme conditions such as freezing rain and blowing dust. Different from traditional stock shapes the straight comb of the R8 diverts recoil forces horizontally on the shoulder. This results in increased muzzle stability and a substantial reduction of felt recoil. Thanks to a steeper angle, the palm support and a distinct cast, the R8 pistol grip provides a relaxed hand position allowing for controlled shooting and better shooting results. An increased barrel weight provides a stable shooting position and therefore offers enhanced safety when shooting – even on long ranges. Muzzle diameter: 3/4“ approx. 0.66 lbs more weight than with the Standard barrel (depending on barrel length and caliber) fluted barrel optionally available. Extensive test shooting gives evidence that Semi Weight barrels reliably improve shooting performance. Even when the rifle is not positioned optimally on the shooting surface or when shooting free-hand, a medium-heavy barrel stabilizes the rifle. Recoil is decreased considerably and muzzle jumping is minimized allowing for more inner peace.
