The Serengeti Rifle
An Exhibition Quality Full Custom Bolt-Action Hunting Rifle
Kilimanjaro is proud to continue the excellence and tradition of The Serengeti Rifle with improvements from our extensive R&D effort. Like the Kilimanjaro Rifle, the Serengeti Rifle features a fully customized Turkish Walnut stock fit precisely to your specifications, dimensions and desires --- All Custom, All The Time. Starting from your choice of one of our many standard stock geometries, we then customize that geometry to your individual specifications.
With the improvements and enhancements from our R&D effort, the new Serengeti Rifle differs from the Kilimanjaro Rifle only in the grade of the Turkish Walnut and type of checkering included as standard, the use of the Serengeti action as standard, and features such as NECG iron sights and Vais muzzle break as options rather than standard. The Serengeti Rifle thus affords a more economical path to one of our exceptional full custom wood-stocked rifles.
The Serengeti Rifle features:
Stealth Lamination:
Our proprietary Stealth Lamination provides greater strength and stability while preserving the full figure, grain and beauty of the wood. It provides all the benefits of a synthetic stock but with the beauty and superior feel of highly figured real wood. You may also choose an un-laminated solid wood stock if you prefer.
Special Select Grade Turkish Walnut Stock:
Choose your wood blank from our available inventory of Special Select Grade Turkish Walnut Stocks shown on our Wood Blanks page, or located specially for you. Best Grade, Best Grade Exhibition and Best Grade Premier stock upgrades are available as options.
Deluxe Wrap-Around Checkering:
The Serengeti Rifle now includes our deluxe, fine-line wrap-around checkering—all done by hand—as standard rather than as an extra cost upgrade. Our trademark Diamond Fleur Wrap-Around Checkering and other checkering patterns are available as options.
Museum Grade Wood Finish:
Our Museum Grade wood finish is the finest and most beautiful in the industry, and is designed specifically for rugged field use. This finest finish procedure, achieved during our extensive research and development efforts, requires no less than two months of effort from start to finish.
Exact Wood To Metal Fit :
Our fine Turkish Walnut stocks are precisely fitted to and mated with the action and barrel by hand in this most time consuming step of the production process, and is key to meeting our stringent accuracy standards.
Action:
The Serengeti Action is standard and provides the best of the Mauser 98, Winchester Pre-64 and Sako actions in a premier hunting and dangerous game action. Available in both right and left hand versions, it features full controlled-round feed, a Mauser style claw extractor, and three-position bolt-mounted safety. Any commercially available or customerprovided action can be used for your Serengeti Rifle as an extra cost option.
Chambering:
Virtually any cartridge chambering is possible, including most wild-cats. Cartridge selection may affect choice of geometry and action.
Barrel:
A match grade stainless steel barrel to your specification of length, contour, twist and crown is included. Lilja barrels are standard, but your choice of barrel makers.
Serekote Ceramic Metal Coating:
Kilimanjaro’s premium Serekote ceramic metal coating is standard in your choice of colors, providing excellent metal and corrosion protection in an elegant non-glare finish for field use. Other metal finishes are available on request, including color-case hardening, bluing, and bead blast finishes.
Quality Assurance, Testing & Load Development:
Rigorous quality assurance throughout the production process is provided with multiple pre-final and final tests. Full barrel conditioning (break-in) and load development with test target and ballistic chart for the recommended load are standard.
Delivery Package:
Kilimanjaro’s Deluxe Delivery Package is standard including a Pelican 1750 hard case with a premium Elite Survival Systems soft case fitted in the lid. Your rifle arrives ready to hunt and packed ready for the plane to your hunting destination.
Other Features:
The Serengeti Rifle also comes standard with bolt jewelling, shadow-line cheek piece, Ebony or Ironwood fore-end tip and grip cap, two action cross-bolts with Ebony or Ironwood caps, Dakota style in-let swivel studs, Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad in your choice of thickness and color, and Talley Quick Detachable scope rings & bases. Many other options are available on request.
