Blaser Introduces New Rimfire Conversion Kits for Blaser R8 Rifle

Rimfire conversion kits for the Blaser R8 rifle are now available in .17 HMR, .22 WMR, .17 Hornet and .22 Hornet, in addition to 22 LR.

The modular Blaser R8 rifle – renowned for its reliability, repeatability, speed, and precision – is one of the most versatile rifles in the world, and these conversion kits with barrel, bolt head, and magazine allow hunters to easily convert their larger caliber, centerfire R8 to a rimfire caliber to hunt small game or practice. Converting to a rimfire also offers the benefit of less expensive ammunition and reduced recoil at the range for those who train extensively with their hunting rifle.

“There are millions of possible combinations in the Blaser R8 platform, and the versatility is extraordinary,” said Jason Evans, CEO of Blaser Group. “R8 owners can hunt varmint and dangerous game with the same rifle, which can be quickly converted from a .17 HMR to large centerfire calibers such as .375 or .458. Those who hunt multiple species at home and abroad will appreciate the ease with which they can adapt calibers to their needs with conversion kits, in the case of rimfire, or extra barrels and bolt heads in centerfire calibers. And when target shooting, you have the advantage of practicing with lower recoiling calibers with the same gun and trigger pull.”
