A History of Passion

1. A History of Passion Blaser shotguns now considered amongst the finest in the world World renowned German rifle manufacturing company Blaser was founded on passion. Founder Horst Blaser was a milkman when he met the love of his life, but her father would not allow his daughter to marry Horst unless he took up his profession of rifle making. Horst obliged and the rest – as they say – is history. Blaser firsts The first Blaser was introduced in 1957. Called the Blaser Diplomat, it was an over-under rifle/shotgun. The enigmatic design of the Blaser Diplomat still defines Blaser rifles today. The first Blaser bolt-action rifle, the SR 830, set a benchmark and won international recognition. The American version was called the Blaser Ultimate until 1986 when it was renamed the Blaser R84. In 1993, Blaser released the Blaser R93 rifle and set a new standard for rifle manufacturing around the world. Later improvements yielded the Blaser R8 rifle, a superior hunting shotgun in every respect, and set the manufacturer apart as producing the safest rifles and shotguns in the industry today. A passion for hunting Blaser has built its reputation on a passion for hunting as makers of shotguns for hunters, by hunters. Driven by a firm desire to benefit hunters in the field, their developments have ranged far beyond the firearms they produce to a harmonious collection of first-class hunting equipment that gives hunters the best chance of success under the most challenging circumstances. Ethical innovation With a keen eye for the best use technological advancements, Blaser is at the forefront of innovation in the industry. At the same time, the company is aware of its ethical obligations.

2. This is particularly evident in the level of safety and standard of quality built in to every Blaser shotgun. Blaser shotguns are known as the safest hunting rifles in the world today and show exceptional durability. Attention to detail Blaser’s standard of excellence is evident in their attention to detail in every step of the manufacturing process. System parts are manufactured from solid blanks to offer superior sound quality, reliability and durability. Labour-intensive manufacture on the most modern CNC machines creates the basis for minimum tolerances and consistent shooting accuracy. Quality materials Traditional craftsmanship combined with the latest in engineering technology bring the elements of highly tempered steel, forged light metal alloys and walnut together into a harmonious whole that functions at a superior level in challenging conditions. Blaser shotguns are specifically finished to resist corrosion and damage from foreign objects for consistent performance over decades. Latest innovations The latest innovation from Blaser is the Blaser R8, a highly versatile bolt action rifle that offers 40 interchangeable calibres in a single shotgun. With a desmodronic precision trigger system, Blaser saddle mount and optimum barrel bedding, the Blaser R8 offers high accuracy and German precision in every shot, even when heavily soiled or iced. What began as a love story has continued to become a history of passion for Blaser shotguns. The R8 typifies the Blaser approach to hunting rifle manufacturing: precision, speed, reliability, safety and ease of use are the key elements that set Blaser apart.
