Six decades ago Blaser Jagdwaffen GmbH set out to redefine the art of gun making. Along the way they have laid milestones to mark their success with such names as the Diplomat, ES67, SR850, K95, R93, S2, F3 and the list continues. Never willing to be second best, the design philosophy at the heart of all models is safety, accuracy, reliability and versatility.

The way forward is often started with a close examination of the past and how we were able to come so far. We examined our existing product portfolio and came to the conclusion we needed to pay homage to the rifle that helped redefine the modern bolt action. The R93 was the straight pull action that started the revolution. Now it only makes sense that we pay tribute to the original and introduce the R8 Professional S into our current portfolio. Built for pure performance; when a split second defines a hunt.

The new R8 Professional S will share many of the features that exist in our current R8 line with the exception of removable trigger/magazine housing. The new R8 Professional S is loaded or unloaded through the ejection port just as the original R93. Sure handling is assured with the elastomer inlays featured in the traditional brown/black stock. All existing barrels, bolt assemblies and scope mounts will function flawlessly in the new platform.

With an introductory price of $2,895 your biggest concern will be where to put your next trophy. Available in calibers from 222 Remington to 375 H&H (standard taper) the time is now! Read more
