@Skyflyer - Welcome to AH! Tell us a little about yourself. Things like where you’ve hunted and for what animals. Maybe what equipment you’ve used or would like to. Or if you’re new to it all, just what you are looking to do.

I’ll bet PH’s could care less about new cartridge introductions or their real or perceived improvements. Most I’ve spoken with are extremely happy with a 416RM/RIGBY, 458WM/LOTT, 470NE or a .500 of some sort with little to no concern about ammo availability.

I was over 5Kg on my 416RM as well and I couldn’t justify carrying it all day for a stalking hunt. If I were a PH charged with the safety of the hunting party it would be a different story. I’ll stay in my lane with a 375H&H that I can comfortably carry and accurately shoot.

Happy Birthday Marines!

@WC86 - Congratulations on your purchases! Always happy to assist (or enable) others into the Blaser world. Feel free to DM me if you need anything further or just want to chat. Cheers mate.

@R eight - My compliments on your marksmanship with a cartridge beyond the skill of many. Myself included. How much does your 500J weigh with the optic?

IMO - The 375RUGER will have a longer life than the 416RUGER. Ammo availability of the 375RUGER has been slowly growing in both Africa and Alaska since its introduction. Will it overtake the 375H&H…not likely, but it should remain a viable option for a number of years. How long exactly is...

As stated earlier… For use in Africa, the 375H&H will be more versatile. Regardless of the rifle platform you choose. 300 grain premium expansion bullets (Barnes TSX or Swift A-Frame) will handle nearly everything. Add some 300 grain brass solids (Woodleigh Hydro or CEB Safari Solids) for the...

I hope your boxes are as successful as ours. And you are a saint for putting it up for her. FYI - our kind of boxes were my wife's idea so I'm a little bit of a saint too. :V Make My Day:

Yes, I have squirrel boxes...but with very different intentions. Made specifically for Conibear 120's.

@Firebird - That looks like one very HAPPY pupper. Cheers mate.

Heck of a first post. Welcome to AH. Benchmade produced several versions of the Griptillian. Different blade shapes, with/without thumb studs and even different sizes. Share a picture and tell us why you like it.

Friday bump. 2.5 cases remain for those looking.

This is true, the aluminum receiver is capable of handling the forces from any of the cartridges offered by Blaser. My concern is the 2.0 stock not being able to have a kickstop installed in the butt to help balance the rifle and reduce felt recoil with a big bore if you decide to get one in...

Correction. I went and weighed them both again but ran out of time to edit the last post. The 2.0 stock is 108 grams (3.8 ounces) lighter than the original. AKA - Damn near insignificant for everyone who's not hunting mountain goats.
