Blaser R8 Professional Success Now Available in a Left-handed Version
OutdoorHub 02.26.13
Blaser USA is pleased to announce the availability of the R8 Professional Success rifle in a left-handed version. Left-handed hunters will benefit from the unrivaled advantages of the R8 Professional Success leading to a higher accuracy in every aiming position.
“The perfection of the R8 Professional Success is the result of a number of technical enhancements which make all of the R8 models so unique“, says Blaser CEO Bernhard Knöbel. Due to the excellent ergonomics, the shooting hand is perfectly positioned to the rifle. By putting the exchangeable magazine above the trigger, the R8 Professional Success is, as well as all other R8 models, considerably shorter than a conventional bolt action rifle, at any barrel length. “The center of gravity is located right between the hands and weight is perfectly distributed towards the muzzle and recoil-pad. Put simply: intuitive pointing and unmatched huntability”, says Blaser CEO Bernhard Knöbel.
The exchangeable magazine allows reloading at lightning speed while at the same time providing for the highest possible safety level. When the magazine unit is released, the rifle is automatically decocked, providing yet another safety advantage to the R8 Professional Success.
The left-handed version of the R8 Professional Success is available with the synthetic stock in dark green and dark brown or as the Professional Success Leather model with weather-proof leather grip inlays and a stainless steel brace in the buttstock. The R8 Professional Success will be available in the US by mid-year.
