Blaser just dropped its latest competition shotgun, a bespoke-quality over-under with a staggering retail price of $13,995. Make no mistake, the Blaser FBX Sporting aims to deliver the ultimate in shotgun shooting.

High-End Competition: Blaser FBX Sporting

The shotgun builds around a fat body receiver design. The latest in the Blaser F3 line, the FBX brings balance and stability for peak performance, according to Blaser. The aligned components target balance and weight distribution for effortless swing and fatigue-free shooting. The fat body receiver, with its semi-round contour, promotes a stable center of gravity on the hinge. The design contributes to improved balance between the hands. An FBX balancer system, integrated into the forend, adds customizable weight distribution.

The FBX also features the proven Blaser IBSAnti-Double System and Ejection Ball System for reliable function and fast shot sequence. The receiver is a monocoque design with detachable trigger unit for easy maintenance. Felt recoil is noticeably reduced due to the large contact surface of the recoil pad and special stock geometry. The steeper pistol grip design with optimized palm swell increases control of the gun before and during shooting and allows the hand to absorb part of the recoil. The comb shape and drop allow for repeatable, precise mounting and reduced muzzle flip, making it easy on the cheek bone. Stock balance can also be set to personal preference thanks to the integrated balancer system in the butt stock.

“You feel the difference the minute you pick up the FBX,” said Jason Evans, CEO, Blaser Group. “The balance and handling are a thing of beauty, and its overall design and performance is German engineering at its finest.”

High-End Finish

The elegant-looking black Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coating on all visible steel surfaces provides increased durability due to its hardness and effective protection against corrosion. The barrels are available with Briley thin wall extended chokes or a fixed choke option and feature ventilated side rails for reduced weight and improved barrel cooling. The newly designed barrels have consistent wall thickness and contour even with the extended chokes, along with extended forcing cones to help reduce felt recoil.

Initially available in sporting stock configuration and with an adjustable comb paired with a 12-gauge low rib competition barrel. For more information, visit: Blaser FBX.
