That was a very complicated transaction that got even more complicated before the end. Tim and Greg and Robb and Hamilton and John Gallagher were all a little involved. Some beautiful guns in the middle of it.

Sounds like a great project...and a definite antelope gun... A question on the cylinder that is on the gun now... It is "too short"? As far as I know all the Ruger BH cylinders are the same length... I've had at least a dozen of them in .41 Magnum and all will take any bullet up to 300 grains quite easily... Or did Gary use a shorter cylinder when the gun was converted to .356 GNR? If so where did the original .41 cylinder go? Bob ps...Now that I am rereading your post it looks like the original gun was a .357 Magnum...still the cylinder should be the same length as a .41.... The 357 cylinders have a shorter actual cylinder and more barrel intrusion into the frame. The window is the same, just a slightly different configuration for the lawyers. This is, I’m sure, to prevent inserting a 44 or 45 cylinder into a 357.

I know this is an old thread but through the help of my “friends” and a 3 way deal, I now own this pair. I have had one for a little while and now I have the other for a matched pair of Stroh 32s. Thanks Tim and Greg.

I have a 280 coming and I'm still looking for a 9.3 barrel. I'm liking this Blaser modular gun thing.

I've been on Blaserbuds for years, just a watcher. Now its paying off. I'm not a big fan of the 300 mags so 9.3x62 and a mid caliber something 6.5CM, 6mm Rem, 7-08, 257 roberts etc

BUY IT!!!!!! SERIOUSLY! (get one with the removable fire control (trigger)) This is the LH stock a friend of mine helped me get last night. He works for Blaser at the big shows like DSC.

I’m about to buy a lefty R8. Any experience in this group with this gun? Probably in 9.3x62 or 30-06/280. Thanks

There is nothing cheap about ovate barrels from anyone. That takes your gun into a whole ‘nother level if the details are done right.

Andy Horvath built mine on a midframe 357 convertible and I also have a Harton stainless 10mm/40 S&W.

My 9.3 is a break action Luxus single shot out of Ohio. 9.3x74R is a hammer.

Nice.... Is he kinda small bodied or are his antlers just that big? I know you don't have shorts on..... I do have shorts on and he weighed about 650 pounds. He was estimated to score about 425. He is huge.

I had the opportunity to hunt a 22,000 acre high fence ranch in west Texas last week. My original target was to be a gemsbok but during a long stalk to get within range of a skittish herd, I came across this beast bedded in the shade on a creek bank. It was 92 degrees and sunny. I originally only saw the top foot of rack and sat down to wait. In about 20 minutes the wind swirled and he stood up. I was pretty shocked at his size when I saw all of him. I was about 90 yards and I put a Hornady 286 grain 9.3x74r bullet behind his shoulder and he stumbled. He never took another step. Not the Rockies but a fun hunt with friends.

Randy I am in the Ozona/Sonora area on a project. I have been here since about Christmas. We are 3 hours west of San Antonio. Lots of Axis and Blackbuck in addition to the Whitetails around here. Welcome aboard. Curtis Hey Curtis, I know that area well. My lease is just past Junction off of 2291/Cleo road. I was through there this weekend head to Hondo to shoot doves. Being here, your disposable single action money will be spoken for quickly. Enjoy.
