Blaser R8 375 H&H...amazing wood

[Triathlete3]

I lucked into this Blaser R8 375 H&H a few months ago and the Schmidt and Bender on top makes for a perfect match. Don't think I can do much better on the wood. Its an absolute dream to shoot. Looking forward to taking it to Africa next June.

Amazing wood! What grade is that?

I am not positive, but it has to be damn near the highest grade if it's not.

Very Nice rifle! Is that a standard length and contour barrel? What thickness is the recoil pad? Did you get a recoil reducer in the stock?

Excellent set of wood on that R8.

So it begins with one barrel but I am sure it won’t end with just that bbl.

That looks superb. Yes, please bring it to Africa and write up the story. Perfect calibre too.

Did you buy it used, or from a dealer? Stunning wood, congrats!

I bought it used from a friend. He killed a rhino, buff, elephant, and many PG with it.

Beautiful stick of wood. Let me know if you decide the Blasers are not for you. Wood like that does not come around very often.
