Description
Technical perfection merged with classical elegance, the Blaser R8 offers the best of two worlds. The in-line repeating mechanism allows for a lightning fast succession of shots in a relaxed posture while the well-balanced weight distribution provides fast handling and quick target acquisition.
The 6.5x55 “Swedish” cartridge packs unusually high penetration for it’s size and has very good accuracy with makes it an excellent round for long-range shooting at medium sized game.
