Just turned fifty years old ten days ago, and got the most beautiful birthday present ever from my companion!
I do not know how long she has been saving for this one, but I guess I am a lucky man.
Blaser R8 Selous, 416 Remington magnum, my dream....
I went to Africa hunting in April, but now have no other choice that book another hunt beofre year's end...

Happy birthday and congrats on the Blaser. It's nice to have a wife that buys you guns instead of neckties, isn't it...

Happy birthday, and congratulations for that present !
 
now you can use that rifle on a cape buffalo hunt...go get em.
 
Very nice! And yes you are now compelled to book a buffalo hunt at the minimum. However you'd be a perfect clod if you didn't take that wonderful woman with you!!
 
Congrats on the Birthday gift!
 
Your woman is a "keeper" Happy B-day.

Aha!
That's the plan, she went with me last year for elephant, even though she is not very keen on hunting... I guess close to a perfect woman, and beautiful by the way!!!
I guess I must have been good in a previous life to have such a good karma...

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

X5i scope is perfect - thanks for an easy transaction! Buy with confidence.
Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA
