Hi from a rainy Stellenbosch

[Stefan_R8]

Hi all,

Nice to check in ! I am a SA local hunter and nature enthusiast. Happy to refer / assist as SA local where possible.

I look forward to the expertise and knowledge of fellow members and sharing experiences with a like minded crowd.

I am considering the Blaser R8 and have more questions than available reviews and info on the web. The rifle system is not common amongst locals for a host of reasons and local outfitters/shops don’t have enough experience / support to answer my questions.

I am hopeful this community will be able to assist !

Ah jeez @spike.t, I haven’t wandered that far down the road to perdition - simply trying to recognize and savor my idiosyncrasies.

Welcome Stefan. Yes, there are a number of us who are fans of the R8. I have been using one pretty extensively for the last couple of years, and have concluded it is the finest production rifle extant. No it is not a bespoke English express rifle, but it is, in my opinion, the best engineered rifle on the market. It is also the easiest traveling rifle I have ever owned other than a double. Anyway, happy to discuss my impressions.
