Blaser R8. Top Loading and De-cocking Video

Here's a video I made of top loading and de-cocking the Blaser R8. These two operations seem to be difficult for some people who are new to the R8. Hopefully this will help.

Excellent!

Maybe the basis of a new song?

Maybe so! Goes like this...

I picked her up.....held her tightly...And loaded her with one hand. Why that's so hard, I just don't understand.

And when she was primed for firing, I racked one in her chamber, shouldered her and cocked her with one thumb.

But the urge to fire, it left me, so I slowly let her down. With my barrel pointed safely at the ground.

I've cocked many guns in my life, son.
But I've never had so much trouble de-cocking one.

Good Morning x84958
I have read your post about Jamy Traut and your hunt in Caprivi. I am planning such a hunt for 2026, Oct with Jamy.
Just a question , because I will combine Caprivi and Panorama for PG, is the daily rate the same the week long, I mean the one for Caprivi or when in Panorama it will be a PG rate ?
thank you and congrats for your story.
Best regards
Philippe from France
