Only six months have passed since the launch of the R8 bolt action rifle. Now Blaser continues its success story with the new R8 Professional. This exciting addition to the R8 line stands out as a true workhorse that is purpose built for hunting in extreme conditions.

No detail has been overlooked in the design of the stock for the R8 Professional. It has been optimized to offer ergonomic perfection in all shooting positions. The ambidextrous stock with Elastomer grip inserts in the pistol grip and forearm provide secure handling even when wet. The matte dark green stock is highlighted with a black forearm tip and black pistol grip cap. To customize the modern classic, a wide variety of optional grips caps has been introduced. However, innovation does not stop there. The new recoil pad offers outstanding recoil reduction. Combined with superb sliding characteristics it also provides a snag free mount for a quick shot.
