We are thrilled to be teaming up with Blaser to offer this sensational prize: a Blaser R8 Professional Success with brown stock, black elastomer inlays, and fluted barrel with a threaded muzzle.

Blaser’s R8 Professional Success has fast become one of the most desirable rifles on the planet, combining Blaser’s legendary accuracy with a revolutionary stock design to further aid shooting comfort and performance. The straight-pull bolts means rapid reloading while the detachable trigger and magazine delivers crisp pulls and added security.

Compact, huntable and engineered to the highest standards, the R8 Professional Success will help you maximise your hunting success.

So how do you win? One of the biggest challenges we face as shooters is making people understand why our sport is still relevant in the modern world.
