Look on ebay for R8 mounts. I have 2 of them (offered by zruncho).

My Blaser R8 Jaeger was advertised as Grade 8 wood. I believe that it it achieved that subjective assessment.

I am also picky on triggers. My 1992 No 1 is a light sporter. The rifle without scope weighs 7lbs 2oz. The trigger pull was 6lbs 11oz. Absolutely unmanageable. Swiftly replaced with Jard trigger at 1.5lbs.

@rookhawk I agree those refinish suggestions are spot on and will research how to accomplish them. Hopefully it will somewhat match the finish on my R8 Yaeger.

@rookhawk, @kevin Peacock Thanks for the interesting comments. The rifle appeared to be unfired when I purchased it a few weeks ago. I had decided not to buy another...and found this one. Oh well...this is the first light sporter I've owned.

It's not clear to me whether it was refinished...I think not. It is definitely a satin finish.

Exactly what I used on this Leupold 4.5-14×40. Worked out very well. Now to figure out if it shoots.....

I have owned three Number 1s over the years and have sold them to friends who just had to have one. After reading this thread and others, I have purchased another...a Model 1A in 30-06. It appeared to be in very good shape from the listing pictures. Received the rifle today and was pleasantly...

It is an upgraded factory stock. The 147 EL usually has really nice wood. Found this one at Pacific Sporting Arms in California.

I have noticed a few shotguns posted, so I'll add my Merkel 20 ga. to my earlier R8 post. Just added a NECG pad.

Thanks @BeeMaa. My R8 does have the double rabbit. It is a bit unusual but I live with it.

The R8 Jaeger..sorry for the clutter.

My Blasers - R8 Jaeger and F3 Supersport...

You can do wood and steel with an R8....
