The Blaser F16 Grouse is the field-hunting variant of the F16 platform with a straight English grip, 28-inch barrels, and a more traditional upland aesthetic than the competition F16 Sporting. The F16's single-hinge action reduces recoil on heavy field loads. The Grouse version targets hunters who want German engineering in a traditional field configuration. The name references driven grouse — the most demanding European upland discipline.
