R8 Custom Barrels-Dream Come True!

In most cartridges you can get in proof steel barrel. A few, like the 22 creedmoor I ordered, are only in carbon fiber.
 
Give us a report on how it turns out - service, quality and accuracy!
 
Hope you US guys appreciate how good you have it!

I’ve been waiting for my Blaser R8 for a year here in Canada as of Feb 20. Blaser’s barrels have been getting turned back at the border by CBSA unless they are assembled into full rifles. That, combined with Blaser’s infrequent production of non-standard barrels has meant a long wait for my threaded 375 H&H, 6.5 PRC and 223 barrels.

I saw my dealer had a 25.6” barrel 375 with iron sights and a 300 win mag 25.6” threaded in stock so I changed my order and took them! Not exactly what I was initially planning, but a great two cartridge combo to hunt the world. Now debating whether to buy a 22 LR kit as well as the 223 I’m waiting for…

Must be comfortable to Canadians not to have to worry about thugs with taste taking down the local Sac-O-Suds with R8's.

Maybe your problems will subside when daddy T makes you into the State Of Canada, USA.

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!
