Blaser straight-action rifles have long been a symbol of the best that can be bought in hunting rifles. Excellent ergonomics and patented systems not found in other guns make the Blaser R8 the top of the line in the hunting segment.

With the Blaser R8 hunting rifle, the calibre of the weapon can be easily changed while retaining all other functionality and parts of the weapon.

For calibers, there is a distinction between the diameter and shape of the bottom of the cartridge case, which must be embraced by the exchange clamp (nut, or breech head) of the breech. The following calibre categories can be selected

 Mini: .204Ruger, .222Rem, .223Rem

Standard: .22-250, .243 Win, 6.5x55SE, 6.5x57, .270 Win, 7x64, .308 Win, .30-06 Spr, 8x57IS(JS), 8.5x63, 9.3x57, 9.3x62

Medium: 6,5x68, 7,5x55 Suisse, 8x68 S

Magnum: .257 Weath.Mag., .270 Weath.Mag., .270 WSM, 7mm Blaser Mag., 7mm Rem Mag., .300 Blaser Mag., .300 Weath.Mag., .300Win. Mag., .300 Rem.Ultra Mag., .300 WSM, .338 Blaser Mag., .338 Win. Mag., .375 Blaser Mag., .375 HH Mag., .416 Rem Mag., .458 Lott.

Lapua: .300Norma Mag., .338 Lapua 

If you are planning to, or already have a caliber from the same caliber group as the new barrel, there is no need to change anything (the magazine is always included with the new barrel). You just insert the barrel into the stock, tighten the attachment in the stock and it can be used within 30 seconds.

If you buy a calibre from another group, you must also buy a breech head (pliers / nut) Standard/Magnum 5 850Kč,left forceps 6 590Kč. This pliers can be replaced in seconds.

The vast majority of shooters make do with standard calibers, where it is possible to buy 22-250 (very similar to 223 Rem. caliber, only with a wider barrel) up to 9.3x62 caliber. In this case, a new barrel in the classic version will cost you 20 400Kč. For this money you can buy an average plastic rifle, instead you get a barrel where the manufacturer guarantees a maximum possible dispersion of ½ MOA (12mm) at 100m !!!

Several additional modifications can be specified for the Blaser R8 interchangeable barrels:

Channeling 16 900Kč

Semi-heavy barrel diameter 19mm - 8 100Kč

Magna-port (stretch brake) 10 500Kč

Without sights

Barrel shortening (depending on caliber to 52cm, 58cm, 60cm, 65cm) 5 100Kč

Hi-Viz sights - 3 000Kč

The difference between the Blaser R8 and the previous R93

Comparing the current Blaser R8 with the previous R93 model is quite simple. The R8 has a newly reinforced breech that can handle even the most powerful calibers such as .338 Lapua Magnum, .458 Lott and .500 Jeffrey. Because of this reinforcement, the caliper has different barrel lock dimensions where barrels from the R93 model cannot be used, even though they have the same stock mounting system.

The range of manufactured stocks (also from other manufacturers like GRS) has been expanded and a magazine exchange system has been added along with a trigger system (switchable trigger resistance, 800g standard)

Mountings for Blaser R8 repeating rifles

The R8 rifle has a huge advantage in the mounting of the rifle scope. When the rifle scope is mounted directly on the barrel with 4 retention points. In more than 15 years of using these guns, there has never been a time when the mount had to be adjusted or otherwise re-shot after long term use. The fitting of the mount directly to the barrel of the gun is incomparably better in the Blaser R8 compared to the competition, where the mount is attached to the frame, into which the barrel is then inserted.

This method of mounting has amazing accuracy and simplicity at the same time, you can change barrel mounts several times a week, commonly used collimator, hunting rifle scope, or night vision. You are always 100% sure that the shot will be in the same place as the first time you shoot it.

The latest novelty is the Italian Contessa quick-release mounts, where the manufacturer produces mounts for night vision of Dedal, ATN, Pulsar and rifle scopes for rings or Swarovski, Zeiss. All these are top quality mounts without any modifications.

Left-handed design

If you want a left-handed rifle ( left-handed rifle), there is nothing easier than replacing the bolt on the Blaser with a left-handed bolt (this left-handed bolt includes a left-side ejection pinch). This swap can be done on any Blaser R8 rifle. There are straight stocks available in this model line that are neutral for both left-handed and right-handed shooters- Blaser R8 Professional, Professional Hunter, Professional Tracking. Wooden stocks and plastic stocks Succes,Succes Leather, Stutzen, Luxus, Black edition, Standart, ... - for left-handed can be delivered in 1-4 weeks, depending on availability at the manufacturer.

ATZL sporting/hunting trigger unit

Blaser R8 rifles can be equipped with an interchangeable ATZL trigger unit, where the trigger resistance can be switched to 250 grams (sport setting) or 650 grams (hunting setting) in seconds. This ATZL accessory must be integrated in the Blaser R8 trigger unit and also in the stock.

This system can be added to an existing Blaser R8 for an additional 13 000Kč. The same surcharge is also for a new gun if you want to supply it with this trigger.
