Well, fess up. How many of you hunt with your Blaser in Africa.
I own a couple and love them.
I have taken them twice to Africa - all good, no issues.
I have hunted Alaska with one and North America.

I get a lot of questions but when they feel it and handle it, most guides/PH's like the "feel".

I like the shorter overall rifle package. I have the thumbhole stock version and love that as well.

What say you???

Taken a Blaser to Africa twice with no issues and in fact made a quick second shot because of the fast action.

Took my R8 with 300 and 375 to RSA in 2021 for a plains game safari. The combo worked out perfectly.

I’ve used mine on my last two safaris in Zim. I’ve taken the following animals with an R8.
1 Tuskless Elephant (375 H&H)
2 Cape Buffalo (375 H&H and 458 Win)
1 Heyena (375 H&H)
1 Baboon (375 H&H)
1 Bushbuck (375 H&H)

I find them very nice to hunt with. The short overall length is very helpful when hunting in thick bush. I plan to go after a bull elephant and another buffalo next year with an R8. So hopefully I can add some more to the talley.
