Blaser R8 for Dangerous Game

I haven't sene that Blaser R8 Caliber Overview has 2 sides. The second side have the Custom tec Caliber overview, and this show that pretty much all caliber can be delivered in safari size.
 
Funny, how the opinion of push feed not being "safe" for use on dangerous game hunts seem to diminish with these first hand experiences. Congrats on your success.
The Blaser R8 has proven to me that it will cycle flawlessly in any position I've tried.
 
Two Cape buffalo so far. Next up will be hippo and croc.
 
I have hunted all my dangerous games with my Blaser rifles : A R93 in .375 Holland & Holland magnum and a R8 in .458 Lott.
The first time I hunted an elephant in the Caprivi strip, I used my good old R93 in .375 H&H magnum, that was my driven hunt rifle. My PH was Wayne Cilliers (an awesome man) and his rifle was a Blaser R8 Professional Hunter in .458 Lott. I had the opportunity to shoot on target with it and I just loved it. The next year, I bought the same one and I still love that rifle. I met Wayne 8 years ago, and from what I know, he keeps using it with a total satisfaction.
I also met the late Cornie Coetzee in 2017 and his favourite rifle was also a Blaser R8 with 2 barrels : one in .416 Remington magnum and the other was a 9.3x62 if my memory serves.

We love going the extra mile for our clients. The best feeling in the world is our clients going "Wow! this is amazing thank you"
Having had a successful hunt, having happy clients leave camp. There is nothing better.
Knowing that they will return again next year as a friend.
