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!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
