Yes, I loaned it out to a good friend of mine. He passed away due to cancer, and the family has no recollection of the rifle or him even borrowing it. So now, I want to buy another one, to replace it.

The link above is an 8 Mag in a 700 Classic, there is also a BDL listed at 770.00 right now.
Shouldn’t be to difficult to find a redfield to mount on it although I’ve found the recoil quite violent on both my BDL and Classic and have higher quality optics installed to mitigate failure while in the field.

If you're not married to the 8mm Mag caliber, a 338 would be a much more versatile choice. Much more bullets and ammo available.

I’m kinda married to the 338 but met the 8 mag on Ashley Madison and have a NSA relationship!

A Goomar so to speak. Better looking than your steady woman, but not quite as dependable.

Very dependable but not socially accepted!

8 mm Rem Mag is nice but I would get a nice Leupold scope, something with nice eye relief.
You still looking for a 8mm remington magnum??
I have a 8mm with a red field

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
