Rifles | 6.5x55 Blaser R8 Bolt Action Rifle
6.5x55 Blaser R8 Bolt Action Rifle
Technical perfection merged with classical elegance, the Blaser R8 offers the best of two worlds. The in-line repeating mechanism allows for a lightning fast succession of shots in a relaxed posture while the well-balanced weight distribution provides fast handling and quick target acquisition. The 6.5x55 "Swedish" cartridge packs unusually high penetration for it’s size and has very good accuracy with makes it an excellent round for long-range shooting at medium sized game.

My favourite rifle in the game.
Extremely quick follow up shots, incredibly accurate at long range with little scope sway. The lower damage is mitigated by being able to place shots exactly where you want them, this is the perfect rifle for ibex hunting.

I'm AOK with this because it mimics my thoughts. I'm not into the Ibex much but love this for deer hunting. Starting to seriously rack up hours on it.beamstas wrote:My favourite rifle in the game.

Awesome rifle. My favorite Hirschfelden gun. Very suitable for multi kills.

Forgot to add - sounds amazing. A distinct "crack" that just says "jobs done..."

Re: Rifles | 6.5x55 Blaser R8 Bolt Action Rifle
I was intrigued by this rifle until I shot it.
Maybe it is me but very few red deer will drop on the spot unless I am lucky to have wobbled the shot into an insta-kill organ.
Rated "Poor"

Best looking rifle in the game. Powerful and very accurate. The high reloading speed makes it a must for any serious pigs hunter. I tried it several times in "the death's triangle" (friends knows what i am talking about) and decimated few wild boars herds.
Rated: Very good

Not a bad weapon, all purpose Deer gun. It shouldn't be your first choice in a Deer rifle but will do the job.
As like any weapon (in game) it's only as good as the shooters eye.

The rifle itself is awesome.
Slightly outperforming the .270, it is the best deer rifle in my eyes. Allows for easy shot placement and takes down deer up to Red deer very reliably. Very quick reload speed.
Animation, graphical model and sound are awesome and the open sights a real beauty.
The limitations in species this gun is permitted for, especially that it is not permitted for foxes, are a let-down, though
The need to buy a gun-specific scope exclusively for this rifle and its ugly crosshairs are two additional minus points.
