First world problem…

I have a couple of Blaser R8’s, 375, 300, 30’06

Ruger RSM in 416 Rigby.

Should I act like a reasonable adult and use the R8 for next years trip (buff, nyala, plains game). Use it like intended, taking the 375 and 300 barrels.

Sell the Ruger and put the $$$ toward another hunt?

The things to ponder on a Saturday morning while smoking a cigar on the deck…..
 
Turf the Ruger.......
 
You are correct
Sell the ruger and use that for expenses on the hunt
When u ready for a dang game hunt u order a 416 rem mag barrel for the blaser

I will share my experience.
My experience is I never sold a gun. And I am quite happy about that fact.
So, dont sell it.
416 is great caliber.

Now, if the question is: shall I buy new 416 for me, or go to a hunt?
I would go for a hunt, because most probably my 375 can do it all.

There is an anecdote with my firend.
He has a snake in pocket, but has money, He is the type who does not want to buy a gun and spend. Becasue, his all around gun is good enough for anything, at least he thinks so.

Long ago, I told him like this:
Do you know what happiness is?
No. What?
The happiness is when you open your gun locker, before you go to a hunt, you look at your guns, and choose and pick, which one you will take out today!
That's happiness.

In later years, he bought few more rifles. Now he is picking and choosing a gun for a hunt. He is getting to it.
 
What about the damn snake in his pocket!!! Sell the .416 have more “just in case” money

Sell the Blaser, buy a Ruger Express in 300 win mag;)
 
Keep the Ruger in 416 Rigby. Sell the Blasers. Add a 375 Ruger, be a man. :ROFLMAO:
 
Sell all the blaser stuff and use the ruger 416 for everything.
