Optional Atzl Match-Hunt-Trigger
The Atzl Match-Hunt-Trigger provides the possibili-
ty of choosing between a light, competition orien-
tated trigger pull and a heavier, hunting orientated
trigger pull. Selecting the trigger pull is performed
without use of tools by using the selector on the
magazine frame with the magazine removed (refer
to Pic. 4.2.1). Besides the exchangeable magazine
with selector, a special trigger unit in the receiver
is also required (refer to Pic. 4.2.2). The fitting of
the Atzl Match-Hunt-Trigger may not under any
circumstances be fitted by anybody else than Blaser
Jagdwaffen GmbH in Isny.
When using calibers .375 Blaser Mag., .375 H&H
Mag., .416 Rem. Mag. and .458 Lott, the cartridg-
es cannot be used in the Atzl Match-Hunt-Trigger,
if the total length (maximum cartridge length L6)
exceeds the length of 90.5 mm.
Function
Choosing which trigger pull is achieved by moving
the selector:
• Postion "Match" : 250 g / 0.55 lbs
• Position "Hunt" : 650 g / 1.43 lbs
NOTE:
The Atzl Match-Hunt-Trigger exchangeable maga-
zine can be used without limitations in an R8 with-
out the Atzl Match-Hunt- Trigger unit. The trigger
pull will correspond with the specific weight of the
currently fitted trigger unit. The selector will have
no function. The use of an exchangeable magazine
without selector in a receiver with the Atzl Match-
Hunt-Trigger is not possible, the exchangeable
magazine will not engage.
CAUTION:
The Atzl Match-Hunt-Trigger reacts sensitively
when selected on "Match" because of the low
trigger pull. If the trigger blade is pushed forward
and quickly released, this could cause an accidental
discharge. Precaution is required when the trigger
finger contacts the trigger blade and general safety
regulations should be strictly followed when using
a loaded and cocked rifle.
CAUTION:
The Blaser bolt action rifle model R8 is equipped
with a direct pull trigger. Its setting can and may
only be changed at the factory. Please check the
trigger regularly for smooth movement, with the
rifle unloaded and locked (decocked). Hardended
oil and/or foreign matter may affect proper func-
tioning of the trigger and cause malfunctions.
