R8 Ultimate Bolt-Action Rifle: New From Blaser
Blaser USA is pleased to introduce the new R8 Ultimate bolt-action rifle. This latest addition to the Blaser R8 line is available in two options: R8 Ultimate and R8 Ultimate Leather. Both feature an ergonomic synthetic thumbhole stock that ensures a comfortable, relaxed shooting position and optimal control of the rifle when firing. The new modular stock options can be tailored to individual needs and include an adjustable comb, adjustable recoil pad and adjustable recoil absorption system.
A .22 Long Rifle (LR) conversion kit is also now available for the Blaser R8. This long-awaited .22 caliber rimfire kit includes the barrel and newly designed magazine and bolt head. This new offering will allow current and future R8 owners to easily change from larger calibers to the small bore .22 LR for training.
“We are excited to expand our R8 rifle product line with the addition of the Ultimate and Ultimate Leather models and new .22 LR conversion kit,” said Jason Evans, CEO of Blaser USA. “Our customers have been asking for a .22 caliber model. This is an ideal add-on for those who like to train intensively with their hunting rifle but want the option of reduced recoil and less expensive ammunition. The new R8 Ultimate stock options are our most ergonomically advanced to date and provide serious hunters with numerous options that can be tailored to their specific needs and personal preferences.”
