"I thought I should offer you some technical information on the Blaser R8 System.
 
To begin, the Blaser steel work has been plasma nitrided, which is rust resistant but also as durable as glass, reducing or eliminating any wear factor from moving parts.

If you clamp any other make of rifle in a vice, take a hacksaw, and start at the muzzle, you may easily reduce it to 2" lengths; however, you will remove the teeth from the hacksaw blade if you do so with the Blaser!
 
Bedding system- The Blaser's bedding mechanism employs an inverted recoil lug, with the barrel being dragged down into eight bedding pads by two allen key nuts mounted on a duralium receiver extension. This has to be the best bedding method out there.
 
Also importantly the scope is not attached to a receiver which is then screwed to a barrel (this threaded joint is always a potential weak link) When the scope is attached directly to the barrel you are technically ahead of virtually all other makes!
 
The Blaser cartridge feed system has no feed ramps to damage or misalign projectiles in cartridges when being fed into the chamber. The Blaser magazine lifts up when the bolt is drawn back and the round is fed directly into the chamber with the projectile touching nothing hence no damage.
 
Because normal turn bolt action rifles can and do have frontal bolt play (sloppy bolt fit in action), when you combine that with an extractor that holds the cartridge in the bolt face to one side and mostly out of precise alignment with the bore, and a potential loose chamber with undersize ammo, it's no surprise that the projectile isn't looking straight down the bore.
The Blaser tapered radial bolt lock up actually aligns the cartridge to the bore when the primer is ignited. When the firing pin ignites the primer, the primer backs out of the case to take up the headspace, exerting rearward pressure on the bolthead, causing it to lock into its radial lock up and retain the cartridge perfectly in line with the bore.
 
The Safety Decocker system is brilliant, when you push the Safety forward which is Silent you are actually cocking the firing pin spring, if you decide not to fire and release the safety you actually remove the tension on the firing pin spring and the firing pin is then guided into a blind well- thus making it totally impossible for the gun to fire.
 
The Professional stock is made of polyimide 12 and is virtually  unbreakable.
 
The new R8 now incorporates a new trigger and mag removal system that instantly makes the gun no threat to associates in your presence and is easily seen to be totally safe.
 
I have not mentioned the trigger pull, however once tried never forgotten.
 
If you need any further info just give Scott a call.
