What is a Blaser R8 Professional Success worth?

£1,900

Median of 1 sold result.

Too few sales to average

Only 1 confirmed sale on record, so treat this as a single data point rather than a market value. It will firm up as more sales are added.

1 of 1 beat the auctioneer's top estimate.

What moves the price

Blaser is to modern British stalking what Beretta is to clay shooting — the default, and consequently the easiest rifle to sell. Our results across the R8 range are unusually consistent, which means a figure here can be relied on.

The R8 is a switch-barrel system, so what you are really buying is a receiver plus whatever barrels and bolt heads come with it. A second barrel in a useful calibre is worth £600–900 on its own; check the advert lists which calibres and bolt heads are included.

The Success stock is the thumbhole version and the most common. Condition of the barrel matters less than on a fixed-barrel rifle, because a worn barrel can simply be replaced — which is exactly why these hold value.

Retail expectation: £2,400 to £3,200 from a dealer for a single-barrel rifle; more with a second barrel and glass.
