Wanted: Blaser R8 Attache

[FEJ]

Hello friends,

I have been reading this forum for a while and thought it was time that I properly join as I am looking for a rifle.

I am interested in purchasing a Blaser R8 (with Atzl trigger if possible). It seems that they are not selling these anymore so second hand it is. I am happy to purchase it with or without barrels.

Please reach out if you have one you are willing to sell.

Best,
FEJ

I have never experienced the Atzi trigger.

I would be interested to see how it could surpass the standard R8 trigger for hunting.

My R8 triggers are a clean crisp 2-1/2 lbs.

It's difficult to describe but many people were very surprised by this trigger, which is truly light and smooth. I own 3 Blaser R8, and except my PH in .458 Lott, the 2 others have this ATZL trigger. I also have 2 R93 fitted with Bix'n Andy triggers (made by Andreas ATZL) and I love them. I only use the ligthest weight for ATZL trigger (250 g : 8.8 oz) and Bix'n Andy are also adjusted at 250 g.
I'm so used to them that I find now the classic Blaser Trigger not good at all....

FEJ : I heard in the past that ATZL trigger was not imported to the USA, but maybe I'm wrong ? Anyway good luck to find what you want.

Hey DB,

As others have said the Atzl trigger is just nice and light. For some it might be too light for a hunting trigger but I am used to shooting long range precision guns with hair triggers so I prefer the Atzl.

Happy to share more details if you have any specific questions,

Hey Kevin,

You are correct they don't import them into the USA. The one I have I was lucky to find. And your comments about the trigger are spot on!
