[QUOTE="nomspc, post: 2556889, member: 50835"] I have an R8 which has been my primary hunting rifle for a few years now. IMO, there is no better travel-to-hunt rifle. I bought the rifle with a 9.3X62 barrel, and added .308, 300WM & .375 H&H barrels. I also had a 280 AI barrel built, but think I’ll stick with the 300WM. My PH in South Africa loved the R8 and let me carry it with a round in the chamber due to the safety that disengages the striker. I sold rifles in every caliber I have in favor of the Blaser, although I still probably have too many 300WM rifles. Hunting pigs and deer here in Florida, I use the short .308 barrel. For almost all NA game, including elk, 300WM. African plains game, 300WM, although this last trip I just took the .375 for PG and buffalo. [/QUOTE]
