Manufactured as the newest iteration of the iconic Blaser straight pull rifle series. The R8 features an upgraded magazine/trigger group design over the previous magazine insert system of previous Blaser rifles. The most well known feature of Blaser takedown rifles is the scope mounting to the chamber of the removable barrels allowing zero to be kept when changing calibers. The rifle is currently configured with a sightless fluted barrel chambered in .308 Winchester, on top of which a Zeiss Varipoint M 3-12x56 iC T* scope, and a left handed bolt housing. The receiver block is mounted in a synthetic pistol grip stock with rubberized grip panels. Included with the rifle are two extra barrels (one in .375 Holland & Holland Magnum and one in. 300 Winchester Magnum), two Pelican travel cases (one of which has several Russian airlines stickers on it), a padded sling, an extra bolt head, five extra magazine inserts, and an extra trigger/magazine body.

Excellent overall, retaining 99% plus original black finish with minimal handling marks. Mechanically excellent. Optics clear, reticle crisp. Illumination functions.
