For Connoisseurs and Experts

Driven hunts, where the use of a multi-shot rifle makes sense, are usually limited to just a few days in the fall and early winter. Most of the other time of the year, you are alone, either on a raised hide or stalking. If you come across game, you always want to be able to take it down with a single shot. With the legendary excellent trigger and the outstanding shooting precision of Blaser's K95 single-shot rifles, a perfect shot is particularly easy.

But it is not only this good feeling that makes the K95 such a popular rifle. The fact that it can be loaded and unloaded intuitively and completely silently is particularly appreciated by fans of this type of rifle. Add to this its low weight and extremely compact design. Both are extremely noticeable when hunting in the mountains and in narrow blinds. Another advantage of the K95 is that it can be quickly disassembled for ascents in the mountains, stowed in a backpack and then reassembled with absolute accuracy, which is particularly appreciated by mountain hunters.

A success story

Blaser's founder, Horst Blaser, recognized the potential of single-shot break-action rifles as early as 1971. Since at that time, rifles of this type were almost exclusively manufactured in smaller gunsmith businesses and were therefore quite expensive, Horst Blaser endeavored to construct a single-shot rifle that would be accessible to a larger customer base. To achieve this goal, it had to be possible to manufacture it using the most modern machines, just like the Blaser combination rifles such as the Bockbüchsflinte, which were already very successful at the time.

The result was the Blaser single-shot rifle K71, which was both elegant and easy to handle, and also offered a small sensation. Unlike the hunting rifles of the time, it no longer had a set trigger, but instead a so-called fine trigger developed by Horst Blaser. At the time, no one could have guessed the triumph this type of trigger would achieve.

As many customers soon asked for larger calibers, Horst Blaser decided to replace the K71 with a new model. This single-shot rifle, called K77, was equipped with an extremely stable locking block that could easily handle even the strongest magnum calibers. The fact that the K77 (renamed K770 with the beginning of the computer age at Blaser) underwent certain design changes in 1995 was due to a very special circumstance: the invention of the ingenious Blaser saddle mount!

This was introduced in 1993 together with the revolutionary Blaser bolt action rifle R93 and is still considered to be the most functional scope mount for hunting rifles. It is therefore no wonder that the Blaser single-shot rifle is now also prepared for this type of mount.

Unimagined possibilities

Demands and tastes are as different as the hunters themselves. Blaser takes this into account with the K95 by offering a whole range of model variants. Starting with versions in a classic look with traditional wooden stocks, to modern variants that are equipped with indestructible, ergonomically optimized synthetic thumbhole stocks. Even these can be upgraded ex works with useful features, such as a height-adjustable comb or a recoil-absorbing butt plate. Since fewer and fewer hunters want to do without the thumbhole stock, in particular, a further K95 variant, the K95 Success Vintage, has been added to the production program, in which this type of stock is made of carefully selected walnut wood.

Furthermore, the Blaser Custom Shop can fulfill countless other customization requests. The possibilities are virtually endless.
