Description
Like the Blaser R93, the Blaser R8 is a modular system capable of switching barrels. When changing from one caliber to another within the same caliber family, no bolt head change is necessary. If going outside of the caliber group during a barrel exchange, the bolt head has to be changed as well. However, the bolt head can be exchanged quickly and easily. R8 barrels come with the suitable magazine insert.
The semi-weight barrel weighs approximately 300g (0.66lb) more than a standard barrel. This provides stability when the rifle is mounted and increases the certainty of a successful shot. Extensive test shooting shows that Semi-Weight barrels consistently improve shooting performance.
