Does anyone have a right hand R8 stock setup for 22mm Safari barrel profiles? Also looking for 9.3x62 and .416 barrels. Thanks,
 
The barrel channel on your existing stock can be opened up to accept the larger barrels.
 
True but it’s a nice wood stock and I don’t want that much gap.
 
There's a guy on Blaser Buds selling a standard professional stock for $1350 I believe. Would need to be opened up for the safari barrel though. I've heard it's an easy job. I actually just bought the other stock he had for sale. Should get it next week.
I also just bought a new 9.3x62 barrel with iron sights this week. There are deals out there if you're patient to wait for them. Blaser Buds is a good place to look for most anything Blaser related.
 
Thanks Toby. I’m on that forum also and noticed that ad. Kudos on your purchase. I thought about buying the other stock.

I have a couple of wood-stocked rifles with wide channels. Really don't distract when the slim barrels are installed. Can shoot you some pics Monday.
 
I would like to see the photos when you get time. Thanks.
 
Just the stock or you need the receiver as well?
 
Just the stock. I have a complete R8 with wood stock and 17mm barrels.
 
i have a composite professional stock i just bought as a package that i plan to swap out to an aftermarket. Never been fired.
My aftermarket arrives around early Nov.
Drop me a note with your cell and i can text you some pictures if you're not in a huge rush.

You'd likely have to still open up the barrel area to accommodate the larger diameter barrels. I'm not sure what it'll accommodate from the factory.
 
I have a Selous .416 Rem.mag ported barrel.
 
I would be interested in more info on your barrel. I wasn't looking for ported but I would like to hear more about it. Thx.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
