TROPHY SHOTS & BIG GAME HUNTING STORIES
Dangerous Game Rifles | Alaskan Field Testing
During Kilimanjaro's 2011 Field Trials on the Alaskan Peninsula, Kilimanjaro President Erik D. Eike used a Kilimanjaro African Mannlicher custom rifle in 9.3x62 Mauser, and his son William used a Kilimanjaro African custom rifle in 375 H&H, on a successful dangerous game hunt for two Alaskan Brown Bears. With typical Alaskan Peninsula October conditions of 30 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit, 30 to 60 mph winds, and near constant driving rain, the Kilimanjaro team spent eight days in a spike camp consisting only of two small "Bomb-Shelter" tents placed in a thick alder grove for wind protection. Designed to test Kilimanjaro's Stealth Lamination stocks in the most challenging of field conditions, the rifles endured the constant moisture and brush abrasion emerging as beautiful as they began and with no loss of accuracy along the way. Kilimanjaro's Museum Grade wood finish endured the abuse from the brush and beaded water better than a duck's back. When Erik was swept under water twice during a crossing of stream rapids while moving into position to intercept William's bear, the Kilimanjaro rifle also endured complete submersion (twice) only to emerge and accurately place the finishing shot on the bear a couple of minutes later. Many thanks to Erik Salitan, Luke Tyrrell and Clint Mayeur of Bushwhack Alaska for their help during this 2011 field testing effort.
