I was able to purchase what is a unicorn specialty pistol for me.

Blaser R93 HHS with two 14" barrels (375 H&H and 308 Winchester).

I remember seeing an article or two about these years ago.

Since that time I have looked off and on to no avail.

The 375 H&H barrel has one of Holland's older quick discharge brakes.

I was happy that the one I purchased was set-up for a right hand bolt.

Since the Blaser is a modular weapon, I could also purchase a left hand bolt if I wanted.

Since I am a lefty, this one is perfect already.

Trigger pull is nice, around a pound to a pound and a half-Haven't checked yet.

The 308 barrel on it with a Leupold variable handgun scope.

Even though I am going to have Darrell Holland put a radial baffle brake on the 375 and the 308 barrels, I just had to shoot the 375. I did a light cleaning on both barrels.

I put a Leupold VX-3i (1" tube) 4.5-14 rifle scope on the 375 H&H barrel, and headed out to Dan's house on Tuesday afternoon. We didn't have much time, but we shot it 10 times.

The very first shot was standing



The second shot was seated with just a one hand hold.



I started shooting intentionally at the 100 yard target on the 3rd shot. Made adjustments and shot again. Then Dan started shooting.

I had planned to use a Harris bi-pod, but a friend suggested that with the 375's recoil, there was a chance I could rip the sling swivel stud out=Very expensive repair! Timely advice-Thanks!

We used a PRS pillow bag, and a small Holland rear bag off the bench.

We got it zeroed, and between the two of us shooting we managed a sub 2" group at 100 yards for 5-shots. The highest shot was right after dialing down. Three of those shots were in the 3/4" range

We both got a sense of it.

With the new Holland brake and using 248 grain Hammer Hunters, the 375 should have a little less recoil than the way it is now.

I just have to kill a prairie dog with this 375 H&H....Just because!

Yes, I will hunt big game with it too.

I had two sets of 30mm rings come in for the HHS (Handgun Hunting System) yesterday.

I will be putting a Leupold VX-5HD 1-5x24 CDS-ZL2 Illum. FireDot Duplex, on the 375 H&H barrel.

I have not yet decided, what scope to go with for the 308 Winchester barrel.

Hunting bullet options for the 308 Winchester will be in the 120-140 grain range (Cutting Edge, Barnes, and Nosler).

Within a month or maybe a tad longer, I will have the new brakes on, and both barrels will have the scopes I intend to keep on there.

I plan to have it with me for WY-SHOT for the folks to see and shoot it (308 Winchester)...There are not that many unicorns around.
 
Man that’s a beauty! The Blaser actions are really cool, the expanding collet-type lock up is a really neat innovation. Bolt head changes to swap calibers are a breeze, as you well know with the belted magnum and standard case heads of the two rounds. :thumbup:

A .375 H&H is no joke fired from a handgun, you are far braver and hardier than I Gunga Din! I watched guys shooting .375 JDJ and .45/70 Contenders back in the day and those things rocked the shooters good. :what: I think I would start flinching about the same time I closed the bolt. :(

Let us know when you get out to the fields and slay that ‘dog! ;)

Stay safe.
 
Hammer bullets and the Leupold scope for the 375 have arrived. Waiting on the scope for the 308 to get here.
Then, the barrels getting brakes is the next step.
