Just as diverse as hunting, so are the demands hunters place on their rifles. To say the R8 is just a bolt action rifle is the understatement of the century. More than just a rifle it is a platform that allows you the flexibility to interchange calibers while providing ergonomic perfection in stock design and unequaled trigger performance.

The R8 Professional is designed for hard use: elastomer inlays support secure grip and aiming even in wet conditions. The specially developed recoil pad combines outstanding recoil reduction with excellent sliding characteristics.
