Blaser R8 PH and Sako 85 in 500 Jeffery

That's incredible shooting from both the rifle and the rifleman. Brain shots at 50 yards with a 500J will stop anything!

Brain shots with a .375 will also stop anything
Problem is when you miss the brain o_O


Nice shooting - the Sako would knock me over lol
 
Thank you for the comments gentlemen.
 
Nice work Rod.

Well done on the result.
 
No flinching! Nicely done.
There was a flinch developing ..and it showed up in the video...and on the 50 meter target with that shot out in the 5 ring.

On that weekend competition, in addition to the R8, I'd been shooting Rigby's in 416 Rigby and 375 H&H. The trigger on those rifles is a tad lighter than that on the R8 (which also has a fantastic trigger). Anyway, after a long session with big rifle recoil and a bit of anticipation on trigger break there was a flinch developing. By the end of that day I'd reached my limit on handling recoil.
 
I csm imagine.
Hsd the pleasure to shoot a 416 Rigby Ruger no 1 if the Bench once.
Open sights, 100m a solid hit.

Lets say the second shot was wayy harder after i knew what would happen

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well
