In 1957, the gunsmith Horst Blaser founded the now world-famous hunting rifle forge. From the very beginning, the focus was on machine production and thus consistent quality. In 1985, Horst Blaser parted company with his factory, and Blaser set about rapid growth, taking over the traditional Mauser brand. In 1997, SIG and Blaser merged, bringing Sauer and Hämmerli on board. When SIG divests itself of weapons production in 2000, L & O Holding takes over the individual companies Blaser, J.P. Sauer & Sohn, Mauser, and later SAN Swiss Arms, GSG, Diana Mayer, John Rigby & Co. and the trading company Kettner International. The commercial success of the Blaser R93 could not be slowed by controversies over safety. With the R8, the modular straight pull repeater has finally been accepted.
