Luke Cuenco 03.11.24
Blaser’s rifles are world-renowned for their high-quality cutting-edge designs and ultra-refined choice in materials and construction. While these high-end rifles are squarely for the discerning hunter, even those who select high-end rifles can see the practicality of having a similarly equipped rimfire rifle for smaller varmints or rimfire practice. That is why Blaser is proud to introduce their new R8 Rimfire rifle conversion kits in .22 LR, .22 WMR, 17. HMR, .Hornet and .22 Hornet.

Blaser’s New R8 Rimfire Conversion Kits – From Big Game to Varmint
To be able to hunt around the world with the same rifle, using that with which you are already familiar with, creates the best possible scenario for hunting and at the shooting range. For Blaser, it goes without saying that changing the barrel or stock should be as easy as possible for the hunter. Having the familiar trigger weight and handling of a rifle enables the hunter to concentrate on the shot 100 percent.
Each of the caliber conversions has a new capacity of at least 5 rounds with the magazine conversion inserted into the rifle’s bottom metal. The 22LR (listed as .22 lfb), .17 HMR, and .22WMR conversion kits feature a standard capacity of 6 rounds. Both of the .17 caliber options feature a shorter barrel length of just 9 inches while the .22 caliber offerings all feature a barrel length of 16 inches. The Blaser R8 Small Caliber Set Rimfire Conversion Kits will all retail for an MSRP of $1,714.00, putting them in the typical price category you’d expect for a Blaser product – they don’t come cheap.

With the new small calibers, the trusted versatility of the R8 will be increased yet again. The rimfire conversion kits in the calibers, .17 HMR, .22 lfb, .22 WMR, .17 Hornet and .22 Hornet allow you, with only a few steps, to get your R8 ready for hunting small game or varmint. Additionally, with the lower priced ammunition for small calibers, cost savings when practicing extensively at the shooting range can be significant.
