The History of Blaser

Blaser Jagdwaffen GmbH was founded in 1957 by Horst Blaser in Isny im Allgäu, a town in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It was then taken over in 1986 by the company’s master gunsmith, Gerhart Blenk. Since its beginning, the company has specialized in high-quality hunting rifles. In 1993, Blaser developed a straight-pull bolt-action hunting rifle, Blaser R93, with which they achieved great success in Europe. By 2016 – when the R93 model was discontinued and replaced by Blaser R8 – they had produced more than 200,000 R93 rifles. In 1997, they merged with Sigarms but remained autonomous in their rifle production, and in 1999 they began distribution of their rifles to the USA.

Blaser has revolutionized the way riflescopes are mounted on rifles by introducing a unique mounting system, called the Blaser Saddle. They were one of the first rifle manufacturing companies that introduced a barrel-mounting system. Most Blaser rifles are made with the same barrel mounting surface with four notches. Today, their rifle products include Blaser R8, combination guns, single-shot rifles, and shotguns. They have also started designing and producing binoculars in 2017, and telescopic and reflex sights in the year after that.

Blaser BBF 95 Rifle Review

Blaser BBF 95 is an over-and-under combination shotgun rifle introduced in 1995. It consists of two free-floating barrels: the upper barrel is a shotgun barrel, and the lower one is a rifle barrel. The rifle is available in two versions (95 and 97), the difference between them being the cocking mechanism.

Contrary to the Blaser BBF 97, the 95 version has a so called single-lock action which de-cocks the firing pin spring after shooting from one barrel, while the 97 version stays cocked. This makes the 95 version a safer option since there is no way the rifle can be accidentally fired a second time – but it also makes it slower to fire again than the 97 version which can fire again immediately.

The rifle features interchangeable barrels and can be disassembled and packed away in a matter of seconds, making it very practical, portable, and discrete to travel with. The receiver comes with grained side plates and both versions are equipped with Blaser precision triggers.

Blaser BBF 95 Variants

Blaser BBF 95 is available in the following variants:

  • Standard

  • Prestige

  • Luxus

Blaser BBF 95 features a barrel-mounting system where the mounts are mounted directly on the barrel instead of on the receiver. All modern Blaser guns (repeating rifles, break-barrel rifles, combination rifles, express rifles etc.) have the same four notches on the barrel. Therefore, the same mounts fit on all Blaser modern rifles. The only exception here are some red dot sight mounts that are made specifically for R8 or R93 - these do not fit other Blaser rifles.

Scope Mounts Interchangeable With Blaser BBF 95

Rifles That Have One-Piece Scope Mounts Interchangeable With Blaser BBF 95

The necessary condition for rifles to have one-piece mounts interchangeable is that the mounting surfaces of these rifles match in every dimension. Again, most Blaser rifles feature a special Saddle mount mounting surface, making their mounts interchangeable with most of their rifles. These are the following:

Rifles That Have Two-Piece Scope Mounts Interchangeable With Blaser BBF 95

For two-piece mounts to be interchangeable the mounting surfaces of the rifles must match in every dimension except the B dimension which can vary. This is because the distance between the two pieces of the mount is not fixed. Blaser rifles have a special Saddle mount mounting surface, making their mounts interchangeable with most of their rifles. The following rifles have interchangeable mounts:

Please note: once a mount for a Blaser rifle is mounted, it cannot be used on other Blaser rifle barrels – these mounts are designed so that they can only be used with one barrel. This means that you can use multiple optical sights on one Blaser barrel, but you cannot use one optic on multiple Blaser barrels.
