The Blaser F3 is manufactured in Germany in a new ultra-modern plant. The F3's modular construction allows the shooter to put together a gun to fit his exact needs and likes. The stocks, barrels and fore-ends are machined to such close tolerances that they easily interchange without gunsmith fitting.

The action has a crisp selective trigger that, combined with the in-line hammers/strikers, provides extremely fast lock time. The action, despite locking up with a single Purdey-style underbolt, is very slim. This year Blaser introduced 20-gauge barrels in 28, 30 and 32 inches with long forcing cones and Briley choke tubes.
