I see Blaser now is offering rimfire conversion kits in calibers other than .22lr, including .17hmr. That must be new? The .17HMR is a lot more appealing to me than .22. I like to use .17hmr on prairie dogs and for plinking at 100-150 yards. Didn’t see any info on when it will be available though.

I like the .17 hmr, better ballistics than a .22. I have really enjoyed the .22 barrel for my R8. I’d likely get a .17hmr for it as well.

Hello,
Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.
Thank you for your time,
Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
