R8 Professional Success Stutzen Rifle

The Blaser R8 Professional Success Stutzen has the same revolutionary stock as the R8 Professional Success that gives active hunters the crucial edge for continuous successful shooting. However the Stutzen version is more compact with a shorter barrel (20.5″ to 23″) and split Stutzen fore-end. The R8 Professional Success Stutzen stock provides a completely relaxed posture of shooting hand and arm, regardless of the aiming position. Thus, vexatious flinching is almost completely eliminated by itself providing the most important preparation for the accurate shot in any hunting conditions. The dynamic shape of the R8 Professional Success Stutzen underlines the high demands Blaser is placing on this product: simply the best for successful shooting!

Sporting shooters have been using special rifle stocks for decades. They know that you shoot much more accurately with them! So why should not hunters use the best stock available, too? As hunters are not aiming at inanimate targets, but are striving to cleanly kill live game, the perfect stock is essential. Once a hunter has tried a thumbhole stock, they rarely want to use anything else.
