Blaser R8 OWN | Perfection with a purpose, commemorating the 150th anniversary of Hungary's first hunting show. Thus the Blaser Custom Shop has created a truly first-class hunting companion for the 2021 “One With Nature” (OWN) World Hunting Exhibition in Budapest: the R8 OWN. The action is made of steel and gracefully features the OWN logo. Approximately 40 grams of fine gold, carefully hand-inlaid in action over 70 hours, with diamonds being added to elegantly complete the design of this unique work. Altogether, a total of approximately four carats of diamonds adorns the BLASER R8 OWN.
The master engraver Ralph Salzmann has also developed a floral ornament from the world exhibition logo, which playfully runs across all surfaces of the rifle. The grade 11 noble walnut stock is finished with a recoil pad that has been perfectly upholstered in leather by hand.
But the commitment of Blaser does not end with the creation of this bespoke shotgun. From 25 August onwards, the R8 OWN will be auctioned (until October 14) via https://store.blaser.de/en/R8-OWN/Auction. The minimum bid is 20.000 euros. The proceeds from the auction will go to the company's sustainability strategy. They will be used to expand the wildlife protection project "Blaser Fawn Rescuers"Internationally in 2022.
One of the reasons is the great interest in the project this year. The large number of investigations underlines the great potential of the wildlife protection project. Only in 2021 the "Blaser Fawn Rescuers”Came to Germany to rescue over 270 fawns, three young cranes, 3 hares, three mallard fry and a deer calf. This is why from next year, drones with thermal imaging cameras will also be made available on loan to district hunting associations, hunting clubs and hunters in Hungary (but also in other countries) for more effective protection of small game when mowing lawns. early summer.
This project reflects the spirit of OWN, which wants to show how the harmony between hunting and nature conservation can lead to a sustainable approach to nature.
