Three European calibers for a do-it-all R8

[Scandihunter]

Greetings all

I recently purchased three barrels for my Blaser R8 to cover all hunting in Scandinavia but with the opportunity to go cover anything worldwide as well. My three barrels are .270win, 8.5x55 blaser, and the .375H&H. Being a European hunter and liking traditions has made me rethink my decision or given me a wish to investigate which three European traditional cartridges could replace this setup. My first thinking is the 6.5x55 for fox and roe deer, 7x64 to cover fallow and red deer, and the 9.3x62 for wild boar, bear, moose, and buffalo (eventually). Only concern regarding the 9.3x62 is its low velocity with lead-free bullets (legally required in a lot of Northern European countries).
Looking forward to your input!

8x68 -> you won't need a 7x64 and another 9,3x62

Or a 8x64S and a 9,3x64

I am not sure about the availability of the 8x68 nor the 9.3x64. Don’t think it’s very good in copper bullets (factory loaded).

375 hh is european

Yes, I know that. But not from the continent I am split between the 9.3x62 and the .375H&H.

Brenneke and Geco have some good lead free options also in 9,3 and other like 7x64

500 Schuler for big game … you’ll need to eletropencil the barrel to correct it though
