Great safari and good for you taking your experienced buddy along! I bet you made him a very happy man. Good advice for all of us. Sometimes the trophy is not at the skinning shed but with the mates you bring along

That’s what I did. Keep the original

Have the cds dials been used?

Does the messenger bag have a carry strap or just a handle? Thank you

I’ll just be glad when Green Chile owns every R8 barrel ever made so the rest of us have a decent chance!!

White mountain Apache Indian reservation. Many B&C color phase bears. Call Keith Atcheson

I have a Blaser R8 with a factory 20.5” 375 H&H barrel and I love it. Lose very little fps with my swift A frames at 2500 fls and it’s a joy to carry in the bush. Took a last day eland at 250 yds ( just the way it worked out ) with one shot. Unfortunately they don’t offer this barrel any longer

Been through this also. One of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through. Best of luck and just focus on all the great times you’ve had together and hope for more to come

If you’re looking for a lower power scope I have the exact scope in 1-6x24 that I would trade you. Mounted but never hunted. Pm me if you would like to discuss further

Welcome to the forum. You have a lot of supporters here. Great talking to you yesterday and congratulations on obtaining the entire quota for Nyakasanga. Can’t wait to hunt with you there in 2026.

I’ve completed the big 5 dangerous 7 with two leopards, two elephants, 7 buffalo and one lion, rhino, hippo and crocodile. If you plan carefully and shop wisely with a lot of our sponsors you can do this cost effectively. Especially if you compare it to a guided moose or brown bear hunt. You can...

Just there in September. Have the paperwork filled out prior to arrival. Be patient ( which I am not). The cartridge counting was maddening. I had 30:06 and 375 cartridges. I had shot two 30:06 cartridges while in SA before traveling to Harare and that caused a major disruption! After it was...

Thank you for your response. I’m not surprised it was sold. Thanks for offering to keep us posted

Is this the 300 WBY threaded barrel you have posted and is the barrel new? Thank you

What are the details on the 300 weatherby barrel

It’s not a big deal but I was in the fly camp late September’24 and there was no internet service. I did try to use Keith’s hotspot from his phone but very spotty. The good news was the main Camp, which was a couple hundred yards away had starlink so if necessary you could make contact.

Just fyi the Nyakasanga fly camp does Not have internet

hi veritas Do you get by this store often? Was wondering if you could check this gun out next time you’re there. Seems like a very good price- maybe too good. Thanks

I hunted with CMS in late September of 2024 in the Nyakasanga Safari area. Working with Buzz and his team was very easy and all communication was prompt and precise. My PH was Keith Wall and he and his team were excellent. The camp is old school Africa on the banks of the Zambezi and the food...

I found putting plywood behind the finished walls allows for hanging trophies anywhere desired. Your trophies look great. Keep us updated

I really enjoyed your report- lmao. Glad you were successful in the end realizing your life long dream

Delta comfort plus bulkhead aisle $2250 refundable for Sept 6-18. When I first started looking in Dec premium select was $3200. When I finalized my safari dates it had jumped to $6000 . Totally crazy. I have flight tracker turned on.

I put a 223 barrel on my R8. Can shoot 2-300” yds and and adds a lot of possibilities. Then I switch to the 375H&H for a session. Works very well

Watched it yesterday. Terrific job by Ph and his team sticking with it. Pretty dangerous stuff- congrats on his first buff- surely won’t forget it!

Very cool idea. I’m going to copy you and don’t give up on the big five. A lot of different ways to experience it without breaking the bank

Buy the 375 barrel and go hunting. I took my 375 and 3006 to SA and Zimbabwe in September and just used the 375 for buff, eland (250yds) , croc(13.5’) kudu and Grysbok (solid). After verifying the 06 it stayed in the case. I have mine set up with the Swaro Z8 and it’s perfect for just about...

Always stay at the Sky. Gilbert is the man. I have him in my contacts and no matter the complexity of your travel plans or issues that come up he just takes care of it. Reassuring to have someone like that in your corner. The staff and rooms and food are great also

The only issue I have with my two R8’s is constantly buying more barrels. I just returned from Nyakasanga and my 20.5” factory 375 barrel was a joy to carry and shoot.

What’s the new price?

Thanks for the reply. I respect your opinion. Sounds like you would definitely go back.I contacted them and they responded immediately. The only issue for me is the sliding scale for buff. Not a fan of that so I will have to question that further. Thanks for your response and the superb hunt report.

Great report and hunt. You’ve hunted many places in Africa- how would you rate this outfitter and location for buffalo and plains game? Would you go back? Thank you

Is this a standard or semi weight barrel?

I didn’t receive

What weight kick stop. Are these parts for the R8? Thank you

I’m sitting in the STL airport heading to Atlanta and on to JNB to hunt Nyakasanga with Keith. Sounds like you had a terrific adventure and took some great trophies. Glad you saved that Eland for me!! How hot was it?? Hope you recover from your incident. I’ll keep you posted

I always take a small battery operated fan - helps keep you somewhat cooler at night. It will be HOT!

I was just pointing out that if he would have done that in the first place he wouldn’t have these questions. Not looking for conflict with you

I can’t see where I missed anything

Just book with Jennifer at Travel Express and enjoy your trip

Anyone tried the bog pod death grip?

I don’t think you can get all that in a 1700 I have stock and two scoped barrels in my custom cut foam case and there’s no room for more

Thanks Guess I’ll take them out and put in carry on

Do you need to take the batteries out of your scopes while checking in with rifle on international trips? If so do they go in checked bag or carry on? First time traveling with red dot scopes Thanks

When you say new what do you mean. New yesterday or new this season or…

Great video and great safari. I’m heading to Nyakasanga next month and found your report and video very educational. Really getting excited!

Are the buff bulls or cows or both?

Once again this great insight has cost me money!! Murray sling on the way

Does the carry on duffel have a shoulder strap?

Whatever you choose, and you will be very happy with the Chapuis, have it vetted by JJ . Then you know exactly what you’re getting
