Blaser Introduces the R8 Professional 2.0 Rifle San Antonio, Texas (February 3, 2026) – The Blaser R8 Professional 2.0 is the modern evolution of this iconic straight-pull rifle, with enhanced features to improve your hunting experience. Featuring a new, ergonomically optimized vertical pistol grip for increased comfort and improved control when firing, the R8 Professional 2.0’s ambidextrous palm swell fits both right- and left-handed shooters. Other enhancements include new molded elastomer grip inserts, manufactured using 2K technology, which have a better surface texture for improved grip in the worst weather conditions. The Diamond Like Carbon A+ (DLC A+) coating of the barrel surface provides the ultimate protection against corrosion and scratches. A height-adjustable comb is now standard and helps you achieve precise alignment in the shooting position at the push of a button, and the receiver is permanently embedded into the synthetic stock for extra protection, enhanced rigidity, and precision. The fore-end also allows mounting a Harris bipod and/or Picatinny rail. Long known for its speed, accuracy, and durability in the most brutal hunting conditions, this newest R8 is available as a Blaser kit with custom TSA approved hardcase featuring pre-cut interior foam for extra protection on your global adventures.…
