NASCAR driver Wally Dallenbach was the first client to hunt this exclusive area. His hunt was featured on Dave Watson’s Mathews Outdoors show on the Outdoor Channel in 2009. Wally, a veteran of 7 safaris to Zimbabwe, is already booked for a return trip and had this to say, “This is a true HUNTERS HUNT; you have to work for the game, but the trophy quality is worth it. I took a beautiful lion, sable, zebra and warthog. There’s nothing like Africa; and to be able to hunt in an area that has never been commercially hunted in the past, I thought would be "to good to be true." The results speak for themselves though; and I highly recommend this hunt to anyone looking for not only dangerous and plains game, but the experience of a lifetime.”

"Viewing from lake Magadi in NgoroNgoro Crater when the flamingoes are in full concert is an absolutely magnificent sight. The greater and lesser flamingoes flock in by the thousands. The lesser (the pink and smaller of the two) are exclusive to soda lakes and feed on the algae while the greater (tall and white) feed on crustaceans. The chorus of thousands of flamingos together sounds very much like a rumbling engine in the distance. The hippos lay at the edge of the water right where a fresh water stream seeps into the lake, making it the perfect place to sun themselves and the flamingos to enjoy bathing while the black- winged stilts feed along the shore."

The rifles are chambered for the 7x57 Mauser, .300 H&H Magnum, .375 Ruger, .450/400 and .450Nitro Express. There will only be 250 sets of these rifles produced. Each set will have special serial numbers beginning with the prefix CB1 thru CB5; and each rifle in the set will have matching serial numbers 00001 thru 00250. The set of rifles offered here is the very last set made in the series, #250 of 250. We actually have the first three rifles of the series here tonight in .300 H & H Magnum, .375 Ruger and .450/400. The 7x57 Mauser is in production right now; and the fifth set of rifles in .450 Nitro Express is scheduled to be produced this summer according to the Sturm Ruger Co. The purchaser of these three rifles, all with serial number 250, will have the opportunity to purchase the fourth and fifth rifles of the set from Sharpshooters of Lubbock when they are received. Charles Blackwell of Sharp Shooters agrees to sell the last two rifles to the auction winner at the average price paid for the three rifles being sold here at auction. Charles has already sold the #1 set of these rifles at a price significantly above retail. Retail price of each rifle is $1450; the collector’s value is priceless!
