That's one of my grail guns. Barrel rebore or new barrel? Factory 6 1/2” barrel.

Sounds like a fair trade. What caliber R8?. Trapr I bought a 375 H&H in a pelican case with a Zeiss 5-15x. I have a 9.3x62 and a 28 Nosler so I traded the 375 barrel and bolt face for 308. The R8 is a fun gun. I have 3 now. The other is a 280.

Is this a simple rechamber of the cylinder, or does a new cylinder have to be made? Gun looks awesome!! Justin It’s a rechamber of the 357Max cylinder.

I thought you already had a Hunter in 414sm??? I’d be looking at the 180XPB, and see what kind of speed and penetration you could get out of it. Trapr Trapr, I sold it knowing this was in the works to acquire a cased R8 with a Zeiss scope. Curtis

Super nice... How long is the barrel? You're going to enjoy that trigger job. It’s a 6 1/2” barrel Greg.

Nice, the Max sure has a lean mean look to it. What will you top it with. I have a 4x Leupold with a target elevation adjustment or I have a 2 1/2 x 8 Leupold. It depends on balance, I’m undecided.

Hamilton just finished this for me. He turned it around in a couple of months. I hope to kill an Axis buck with it this summer. Straight up hunting gun built for function. Curtis

I bought one and had Dall grips added to it. They are beautiful guns. I still haven’t shot mine.

Very cool! Blackbuck are fascinating to watch. Did you get to see them "pronking"? Far as I can tell, you have to shoot them to get them to be still. No pronking with this bachelor group. They are a skittish animal even if going nowhere.

I shot the blackbuck trotting at about 165 yards with it. They just hardly ever quit moving. Dead right there. Can’t ask for more.
