Blaser R8 PH

[R eight]

While the scales out…..here’s the Rigby SSB in.416 Rigby. 4.58 KG.

This rifle is delightful to shoot….but maybe not too many shots from the bench.

@R eight - Love the pictures but man...I'm gonna have to show you how to rotate and edit.

I'm interested in how you like the Blaser scope as well. I know they offer it in either first or second focal plane, not sure which one you picked up.

Yep. Maybe I need to take a bit more attention to detail when posting.

As to the scope. I really like it. Clarity is superb, as good as my Zeiss Victories….if not better. But time will tell.
It’s a second focal plane. I think, happy to be corrected, that the B2’s are second FP and the B1’s are first FP.

I had a play with a B1 in the shop and it was first focal plane.

Nice Rod.

Self control and restaint are over-rated

You’re becoming a lunatic like me. 458, 416, 375, 9.3 and 300. All mine are aluminum receivers to keep the weight down. Way too much overlap, but a lot of fun in the process.

Nice collection, Toby.

When can we expect to see these on your infamous kitchen island?

How far away is your 500 barrel mate?

I’ve since added a 458 Lott barrel just this week. So I now have both 458 Win Mag and 458 Lott barrels. It’s a sickness.

3 to 6 months is a reasonable estimate.

Let us know what you think about it, mine has been very accurate.

If it’s anything like my other barrels, it should be great.
