I’ve ordered a barrel for my Blaser. There’s a whole lot of people that have used a ruger 375 for dg. Just saying. If I didn’t have the money for a new barrel then I would definitely buy a ruger 375 in lefty. As a left handed shooter it’s a pain in the ass to reach over and work a bolt on a...

On your recommendation, I am waiting delivery of my innomount. Im sure it will be great. And there is NO WAY I would swap scopes back and forth on 2 different calibers. In my mind, Im using a 300 Weatherby with a 180gr. bullet and a 375 with a 300 gr. bullet... I want completely different power...

exactly... sometimes it just doesn't make sense. Oh, don't forget the scope mount for the blaser, thats an additional 500-600 per barrel

I was mistakingly looking at the wrong barrel contour on the 375 H&H R8 barrel, you are exactly right, the safari contour is $3500+ (they got me on "safari") standard contour is what my R8 is, and yo are correct, the standard weight barrel is 1506.00 with iron sights on topdoggunsglobal.com. I...

If I bought a 375hh barrel will I also need to buy a different bolt for the R8?

Eastern Cape, Stutterheim and Sterkstroom to be exact

South Africa. I should’ve mentioned that in the first post. My bad

Thank you for the sound advise. I’ll look into to the 375 HH barrel a little closer. What can I expect as far as accuracy goes with a top shelf factory ammo? And what kind of yardages can I expect to shoot. I’ve read everything from within 100 to around 400?

Factory ammunition

Ive thought about it but the 375 barrels are around 3500. I can buy a new ruger 375 for 1000. Just being cheap I suppose. It's not out of the equation but I could could get a little extra taxidermy work done for the2500 bucks saved. just a thought tho

Hey guys, new member here. Im going on my first safari in may 2025 and Im trying to decide the best 2 rifle options I should take on the hunt. I will be hunting Cape buffalo and PG. (giraffe, zebra, impala, and wildebeest). I am leaning towards my lefty Blaser R8 in 300 Weahterby for the plains...

Thank you for that! Im looking forward to it. Ive heard nothing but good things about Gilbert and Africa Sky, the more research I do.

Thank you for that. That’s the feedback im looking for

not an issue at all, I just want to be well informed beforehand. As I said, Ive never traveled to Africa.

Thats a great service for sure! But, how sketchy is the transport to the lodging?
