How many of you hunt Africa with your Blaser???

I haven’t taken mine to Africa YET! In fact the only thing I’ve shot with it so far is a coyote with the 9.3x62. I love the rifle. Recently ordered my fifth barrel, if that’s any indication of what I think of the R8.

So, now one of us needs to ask you to list the five calibers you chose. I suspect your list will be well supported and added to.

@TOBY458 clearly chooses the larger calibers! I’d add a smaller something, with a suppressor. I probably double or triple my total round count by having a .22lr and shooting in the yard.

If you are doing just a single stock, I'd recommend going with the GunFoam case GF-3714 that is nearly identical in size to the Pelican 1700. You will be able to fit one stock, two barrels, two scopes with ease. Send me a DM if you have any questions.

The one I have is just a tad bigger to accommodate Mrs BeeMaa's beautiful timber stock & 300WM Selous barrel.

The timber stock is prettier. Will look great in the Safari pics.

That’s the plan! She’s still trying to decide what she wants to hunt. Might be a game time decision. LOL.

Warthogs are cool.
Aside from that the species with straight horns look cool.
Gemsbok taste good too.

I still remember the day when I was standing in Horst Blaser’s office, Mr. Blaser: founder of Blaser company, globally known for fine guns. It was in 1975 when he presented me with my new gun, a Bockbüchsflinte (shotgun barrel plus rifle barrel 7x57 R - 16/70), quite an useful combination gun for European hunting conditions.

He was a very pleasant person, his company still small. These days I’m not hunting with Blaser weapons anymore, for my liking the company got too big, too impersonal.
