Blaser

This category holds three 12 gauge (12/76) shotguns: Lygiavamzdis Blaser F16 Sporting 12x76, Lygiavamzdis Blaser F16 Game 12x76, and Lygiavamzdis Blaser F16 Game kal. 12/76 with a 71 cm barrel, grade 3 wood, right-hand fit. All three share the same base gun, built for different jobs in the field or on the range.

What the Blaser F16 shotgun is for

The F16 is an over and under shotgun built for fast, reliable shots both in the field and on the shooting range. Its low center of gravity and rounded lines let you swing it up and track a target in one motion, when a pheasant flushes without warning or beaters push game through the brush.

Which model to pick

F16 Game

The Game version suits classic hunting in open fields and along the tree line: driven hunts, walked-up bird shooting with a dog, sitting in wait at the edge of a clearing. Weight and balance are set so you can carry the gun all day over wet ground without it wearing you down.

F16 Game with grade 3 wood

This variant comes with a 71 cm barrel and a higher grade 3 stock. The wood grain and finish matter to hunters who see the gun not just as a tool but as a piece passed down through the family.

F16 Sporting

The Sporting model is built for practice on the trap or sporting clays course ahead of the season. Regular rounds at flying clays keep your swing and reaction sharp for the moment a bird lifts off near the marsh.

How to choose the right F16

1. If you mostly go on driven hunts or walk fields with a dog, the Game version is lighter and quicker to mount.
2. If the gun is meant to become a family piece, or the wood finish matters to you, look at the grade 3 stock variant.
3. If you want to stay sharp between hunting seasons, the Sporting model with its longer barrel suits range practice.
4. Check barrel length: a longer barrel swings steadier on a far target, a shorter one handles better in thick cover.

Using it in the field

On a driven hunt the shot often comes without warning, an animal or bird breaks from cover and there is little time to aim. The F16 is built to mount and fire in one motion, without a long pause. In cold, wet weather, after hours sitting still in a high seat or waiting in ambush, the action needs to work reliably even with numb fingers, and a clean lock with a crisp trigger break matter here.

Care after the hunt

Back from the field, wipe the barrels clean of moisture and powder residue so rust does not set in, especially after a rainy day or a ride in the boot wrapped in wet clothing. Oil the wood stock now and then so it does not dry out or crack from the temperature swings between hunting seasons.
