Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris! Thank you for such a generous prize!!

My favorite rifle with my favorite scope ( vx5 2-10.illuminated) The.375 H&H is a do it all but small game. I took mine on what was, and probably always will be, my only African safari. Warthog, Impala, Blesbok, Zebra, and Sable. I’m 5’9”, 175 and 70 years old . I can shoot the.375 till my...

I really believe that this is something just about every hunter should do in their lifetime !! I will never be quite the same after my rhino darting. I have so much appreciation for those working to restore the rhino populations. The darting programs are providing much needed funding to help...

Swarovski Z5i is at least a $1,500.scope. I am under the impression that mid range pricing is what you are after. (I’m assuming that means $500-1000.) I also have a 1” Nikon 1-4x20 African on my.375 Ruger M77, which is very clear and reliable, but won’t do you any good as they are out of...

I darted my rhino in ‘22. It was for me the experience of a lifetime! I agree that getting that close more than I can put in words. I would never kill one now unless forced to. I could very easily be persuaded to dart another through !! Now if a leopard was to offer me a shot….

I have a VX3i 3.5-10 on my 1885 6.5 Creedmore. It’s a nail driving combo. The glass is great and I have zero problem with repeatability with the elevation. Where I set the elevation knob is where it shoots. As a 1” tube it is superb. If it were illuminated it would be fantastic! I have recently...

I’d love to get together to discuss the ‘who’s the biggest.375 fanatic’ ‼️ I’ve got skin in that game By the way, .338WM, .35 Whelen , and.375 H&H are all fantastic rounds as is demonstrated by their longevity and performance IMNSHO‍♂️ I just love the.375

Wow! What a beautiful cat!!! My dream hunt ‼️ CONGRATULATIONS ‼️

I have a.375 Ruger African LH. It fits me perfectly. It is the best feeling rifle I’ve ever owned. 5’9” 175 ish. I’ve put many hundreds of rounds through it. Everything from 200-300 gr. (All my reloads) (it has never been polluted with a factor round) NEVER a jam or ejection issue. Favorite...

I have a Ruger no.1 in.375 H&H and a left hand Ruger.375 African in.375Ruger. Both are MOA shooters. I took the no.1 on my first and only African safari to date . It performed beautifully. Purchased on gunbroaker used. Warthog, Impala, Blesbok, Zebra, and Sable. Don’t forget to check out Buds...

I did a similar package in 22 with another outfit, in a different part of South Africa. If you can DO IT!!! It is a hunt of a lifetime. The close, getting in position and pulling of the shot, beats anything that I’ve ever done.

Thank you Neil. I was truly blessed .
