FEATURES

SAFARI BARREL CONTOUR

Features a larger muzzle diameter (22 mm). This increases weight compared to the Standard R8 barrel (depending on barrel length and caliber).

KICKSTOP

A stainless steel cylinder filled with tungsten beads is inserted into the stock. The stock weight is increased as well as the balance of the gun. This kickstop reduces recoil by about 20%.

RECOIL PAD

Silver recoil pad in red. The 2.7 cm recoil pad reduces recoil considerably.

R8 STEEL RECEIVER

The blued steel receiver is black bronzed and increases weight of the rifle by approximately 550 g.

VERSATILITY

The R8 Versatility is a class of its own. This interchangeable system offers calibers from .222 Rem. to .500 Jeffery. Flawless return-to-zero accuracy for both scope mount and barrel insure perfect shot placement. Ideal for travel.

ACCURACY

The R8 Trigger breaks like glass at 2 lbs (900 g). Desmodromic design for reliability under all conditions.

SPEED

The R8 Straight Pull Action eliminates unnecessary movement. Insuring enough time for perfect shot placement. When aiming is measured in heartbeats. Ergonomically perfect in design and function.

SAFETY

The R8 Manual Cocking System offers superior safety. No conventional safety system surpasses an un-cocked striker. Pushing the cocking lever forward in the off safe position cocks the striker and the rifle is ready to fire.

ILLUMINATION CONTROL

Optional add-on Illumination Control (iC) couples the control of the reticle illumination to the operation of the rifle. A sensor in the eyepiece recognizes the position of the cocking slide and automatically regulates the switch-on/-off function of the illuminated reticle. Rifle Cocked = Illuminated Dot Active
