U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Sporting lifestyle brand Ball and Buck and premium firearms manufacturer Blaser announce their partnership with the debut of the special edition Ball and Buck x Blaser R8 hunting rifle. The rifle, reimagined by Ball and Buck founder and sportsman Mark Bollman IV, follows in their long line of outdoor industry-leading brand collaborations that include the likes of New Balance, Danner Boots, and Jeep. Each rifle is hand-crafted from ultra-premium wood, aerospace-grade aluminum, and proprietary Ball and Buck materials.
“Four years ago I began the journey to create the best rifle on the planet–one that combined Ball and Buck’s timeless and understated style on the outside and industry leading technology and performance on the inside. With the precision engineering of German craftsmen and women, we took the iconic Blaser R8 Platform and infused our proprietary materials and design details to create an heirloom rifle that’s fit for a display case, but built to be used afield.”
The Ball and Buck x Blaser Signature R8 rifle begins its life with a hand-carved stock and forearm from high-grade walnut. It’s buffed with a smooth matte oil finish before it’s crowned with Ball and Buck signature leather and a pop of blaze orange stitching for a luxurious feel that only gets better with age. Every detail of this rifle was intentional, from the custom engraved matte black receiver to its gold inlays, bolt head, trigger, and finally, the individually numbered pistol grip cap.
“It was a pleasure bringing Mark’s vision to life and building a custom R8 that represents both brands so cohesively,” said Christian Socher, CEO, Blaser GmbH. “We are excited to introduce this elegant R8 rifle to Ball and Buck customers who, like our own clientele, appreciate superior performance and exceptional craftsmanship.”
The Ball and Buck x Blaser R8 Rifle is available exclusively through Clay Shooter’s Supply in Dallas, TX. Inquire today at ballandbuck.com.
