Plan for a used bespoke rifle

[BJH65]

An used Mauser Model 98 Diplomat in .375 Holland & Holland Magnum would get my vote.

Blaser R-8s personally don't thrill me much. But they are flawless weapons of their class. And extremely practical.

Your opinion backed by years of practical experience are certainly noteworthy. A Mauser M98 Diplomat is a most excellent rifle if we go that route.

That is a very nice rifle. I actually bid on it and several others right before I left for my African hunt this past September, from that past online auction. Clearly not enough! Plus I was too busy hunting to really follow the auction. We are now seeing them reappear. Even with the markup, it’s probably not a bad price. Thanks for sharing.

I would say it’s a steal of a price for a Davenport rifle.

Cannot tell if that’s simply a deep scratch or possible a crack next to the rear cross bolt left side?

Looks like a dent

It does, seems to match some of the wood figure, maybe it was colored in to blend the scratch.
