Joe Charnigo – USA – 5 FROM EXPERIENCE Our ideas for new gun technology are not The Blaser Mission created on the drawing board; they are born while we are out in the field or on the shooting range, facing the challenges that need to be solved. Our engineers are also skilled hunters and shooters. When they turn our ideas into innovative design, they are doing much more than inventing something new; they are putting the potential for better hunting and shooting in your hands.

Plus: a shotgun that supports your intuition for success. 10 11 INTUITION Igniting Thoughts BALANCE FOCUS SAFETY ! BLASER F3 TRIGGER Within a split second the F3-trigger turns your thought impulse into igniting mechanics. It breaks crisp as glass at 1,400 grams with an extremely short travel. Thus the F3 offers you the best conditions to achieve the ideal forward allowance without any delay and tap your full potential. The barrel selector is located right in front of the trigger in a convenient position. The purely mechanical, selective single trigger function is independent from recoil. The trigger blade allows stepless adjustment in length. It is positioned exactly in the shooting fingers direction of force. The finger automatically takes on the right angle for precisely pulling the trigger. " B L A S E R I B S ®: A N T I - D O U B L E - S Y S T E M The Inertial Block System reliably prevents fan firing, which means that the unintentional firing of a second shot is virtually impossible. Many conventional single trigger functions interfere with the ideal trigger pull. Thanks to IBS® the F3 trigger combines the highest possible safety with the best possible trigger characteristics. # LINEAR GUIDANCE OF FIRING PIN The linear guidance of the striker and firing pin allows for the best possible use of the kinetic energy and thus for lightning fast ignition. 12 IBS: the quickest way from the thought impulse to hitting the target 13 INTUITION BALANCE FOCUS SAFETY ! BLASER BALANCER Perfectly Balanced When you are swinging and the barrel points exactly where your eye focuses, you can be sure that the weight distribution of your shotgun is perfectly adjusted to your needs. To achieve the ideal performance the bulk should lie right between your hands and the overall weight distribution should be fine-tuned to the balance that feels best for you. Two F3 features make sure that the balance of your F3 meets your personal preferences: the balancer and the deep position of the centre bores. The Blaser balancer system not only allows the adjustment of weight distribution to your personal needs, but also to your shooting style: Swing-Through, PullAway, Sustained-Lead or Move-Mount-Shoot. The Blaser balancer system consists of two components: the stock balancer and the barrel balancer. The stock balancer is a threaded rod that can be equipped with one or two weight cylinders. The stock balancer allows you to increase the total weight up to 213 grams. " TRIPLEX® BORE DESIGN Three construction characteristics collude to provide an optimized muzzle velocity, a homogenous shot pattern and a moderate recoil. s)NNOVATIVEEXTREMELYmATFORCINGCONEWITHANANGLEOF 4HESHOT passes into the cylindrical barrel as smooth as possible with minimal deformation and without any dangerous increase of pressure. s“/VERBOREhINSIDEDIAMETEROFMM s'AUGESTEELSHOTWITHADDITIONALSTEELSHOTPROOlNG 14 The balancer system allows for individual adjustment of the F3‘s weight distribution. It consists of the stock balancer with two weight cylinders and the barrel balancer. 15 INTUITION BALANCE FOCUS The Calm Before the Shot SAFETY ! E B S ® : T H E I N N O V AT I V E E J E C T I O N S Y S T E M To some extent whether the shot will be successful or not is decided even before mounting. Smooth movements, controlled by intuition and precise mechanical operations are the winning formula. The process starts with closing the shotgun. Conventional ejector systems cock their ejector springs when the gun is closed. Having to overcome this resistance interFERESWITHTHESMOOTHmOWOFYOURMOVEMENTSANDYOURCONCENTRATION The EBS® system activates the ejectors when the shot is fired and cocks them when opening the gun. The ejector springs are always decocked when storing the gun, so that spring fatigue is prevented. The resistance when closing the gun is always kept at a minimum, whether the ejectors have been activated or not. " S M O O T H H I N G E O P E R AT I O N The extremely soft closing of the barrels helps you to focus your concentration on nothing else but the shot. Patented EBS®-System: Firing the shotgun activates the ejector pin of the barrel with which the shot is released. When opening the gun, the ejectors are cocked smoothly. 17 INTUITION BALANCE FOCUS SAFETY ! PREMIUM QUALITY Experience Quality The superior quality of the F3‘s mechanical parts is as uncompromising as its design. Innovative, computer-controlled heat treatment such as the nitrocarburisation of the F3 action lead to outstanding resistance characteristics. " SOLID LOCK-UP The solid lock-up with a generous locking area is combined with a lockplate in the bottom of the action providing utmost locking safety. # MINIMUM STRAIN Minimal strain on the lock during shooting and maximum durability result from the optimized geometry of the deep positioned centre bores and the high positioned hinge pin. $ STEEL AND MAGNUM PROOFING The F3 is designed for the use of steel shot and officially steel proofed -AGNUMPROOFWIHTADDITIONALSTEELPROOlNG 18 19 Models 20 F3 Game Page 22/23 F3 Competition Sporting Page 24/25 F3 Game Competition Page 26/27 F3 SuperTrap Page 28/29 F3 SuperSport Page 30/31 F3 Model versions Page 32-39 F3 Model overview Page 40/41 F3 Modular system Page 42/43 F3 Wood grades Page 44/45 F3 Custom Page 46-55 21 GaMe F3 Game F3 Game Grand Luxe F3 Game Luxus F3 Game Baronesse F3 Game Attaché Well balanced weight distribution, low weight and stylish design best describe the winning formula which makes the F3 Game an excellent choice for the passionate hunter or wingshooter (Trap and Skeet).
