Win a Cape Buff Safari in Bots with NRA

NRA web page

All expense paid for for 10 days for Cape Buff, impala, kudu, warthog.

Includes a FN .458 Winchester Magnum Rifle and dangerous-game scope.

Total value $30K. Plus, you get to be a star on Under Wild Skies.

First Prize, not grand, is a Krieghoff Classic "Big 5" double rifle in .470 NE

Wonder how much the FN is worth?

Am I reading it correctly once you submit your entry? I thought it read as though you could enter once a day and/or with different email addresses?

Did I read the rules wrong or is the safari not to take place until 2007?

I haven't seen Under Wild Skies on the schedule lately. Did I just miss it or has it been removed? I wonder what happens to the hunt if the show disappears?

Ladies first!!!

So would all you fine gentlemen (and other males) please step to the back of the line.

BwanaBob, If I win you might be allowed to go as my bodyguard/gun bearer, or something like that. I had an interesting discussion earlier today with NitroX concerning proper safari body guards. So I suppose there is hope.

Hey if I gave someone some money and they entered, could I go as an observer, and sort of pull the trigger as well?

It's a pity that guys like us who don't live in the US are always left out from these things...

Erik, you can join the NRA even if you don't live in the States (you can't vote in the NRA elections, though). I'm a member and have been so for quite a few years. Mind you, it is probably best to stay realistic about the chances of winning this hunt...

But there are other good reasons to be an NRA member: magazine, international gunowner solidarity etc etc.

P.S. read the sweepstake rules and saw the exclusion of non US residents. Ah well...

I hate that small print that says you have to be a resident of the USA. Lotta good being an NRA does for those of use who carry the banner overseas.
