I ended up getting a R8 Ultimate with the adjustable cheek and recoil pad. Such a different feeling being able to fit the gun to me vs the other way around.

I ended up purchasing a R8 Ultimate with the adjustable cheek and recoil pad. I really like it so far. I have never had that kind of adjustability and what a difference it makes.

Cool set up and have seen it but can’t remember how heavy it is. Would be even better if the 300 Norma was an Improved version.

For your R8, do you have the thumb hole stock or standard?

I will check them out. Han not heard of them before.

I am 6’6” with long arms. I agree a custom stock can be done but due to time constraints not really a great option at this time. I don’t do much shotgun shooting so haven’t really done much with them to reference.

Would like to see what experience individuals with a long length of pull prefer for rifles. I have a very long length of pull at over 16.5". A standard length of pull for American sporting rifle off sticks isn't the most comfortable to have a repeatable set up all the time. Have been looking...

Seriously considering a R8 at the moment as well.

In a 300 Winchester, I prefer a 210-215 grain bullet and you need a 1-10” at a minimum. I haven’t made any final decisions on anything new at the moment.

I ended up not going with the Sauer 404. There is a lot I like about it and was close to pulling the trigger on it. I looking through the specs that and the twist rates were slow and limited the choice of bullets. That wasn't disclosed by the sales person at the time. I prefer to shoot...

Thanks for passing along that carry technique. Something I hadn’t heard previously.

Thanks. I was am meaning to 225 Hammer bullet with Swift A Frame or TTSX as options as well.

Thanks for the input. Will reach out as suggested.

I am doing a PG hunt in 2020 and will be my first trip to Africa. For some reason, I feel like a wood rifle is what I should take. Was thinking about a Weatherby Deluxe in 340 Wby. My one concern is around the fact that it is not a matte finish but a gloss blue on metal and gloss wood finish...

Makes sense. Thanks.

I have never hunted DG. Why is a break a definite no go? Understand PG can be a preference item.

Got it. I didn’t realize that until I was able to dig out the specs online. They weren’t discussing that at the dealer. You answered my question about being able to do something after the fact.

I did a search and didn’t see anything pop up so if this has been discussed previously, let me know. In regards to rifles for Africa, what is the acceptance of muzzle breaks for use when hunting? I know this can be a preference item and guides here in the states have varying opinions as well.

Thanks for the review. That is really the same way I am looking at it. The two things that give me pause are lack of mount options which isn’t a deal killer. The bigger item in my list for the 404 or R8 is slow twist rates for the calibers. I think the 300 Winchester was an 11 twist which really...

BeeMaa-Thanks for the photos and advice. Very helpful.

That is what I was assuming but figured I would ask to confirm.

Thanks for the welcome and perspectives. I have been on the fence on a switch barrel rifle and was leaning to R8 but for reasons referenced above the 404 has my attention when they showed it to me and all the features. I did some safe cleaning this year and am looking to make a couple of...

I was out this weekend looking at a R8. They showed me a Sauer 404 as well. Until that time, I have never handled one or even considered one. There are a lot of things I like about the rifle but don't know anyone who has owned one and reviews on the web are minimal. Does anyone have any in...
