Hello everyone.

This time I have a regular stock rifle for you; The Jensen Classic Safari.
She's our big bore model rifle based on the legendary Mauser M98 action, this one completed in exhibition-grade turkish walnut and in a .375 H&H Mag. configuration.

She'll do 0.5" 3 shot groups on 100 meters.

I hope you enjoy it.

How is that rifle priced and what are turnaround times on custom orders? Thanks and beautiful work!

bwanamrm, I've send you a PM.

From what the photographs show it appears that the workmanship on the rifle is exceptional.

However, with all due respect, I think that a rifle of that quality should have new bottom metal instead of reworked military bottom metal. I also don't care too much for the high polish job on the metalwork, even though it appears extemely well done. And I think Americans prefer a straighter grip on the stock.

It looks beautiful to me. While it does not exhibit the open grip typically associated with a 375 H&H "Express" rifle, I don't think it takes away from this rifle either. Still screams Africa to me while retaining a unique signature unique to the maker (much like how a Dorleac & Dorleac is often seen with a razor sharp nose on the comb or how a Martini & Hagn have a very distinct forend shape).

I'd happily hunt with it.

We don't use military actions as they lack smoothness. The right-handed Mauser 98 action was originally made by FN Herstal in Belgium and then bought by Husqvarna in Sweden and used for their civilian rifles which we've later acquired a limited batch of. These are then completely overhauled and the trigger mechanism and bottom is then replaced with modern equivalents so the action feels and looks like new. Remember, this rifle starts at half price the price of a british equivalent. In the future though, we will have to opt for the expensive new ones and at this point we're already using them for our left-handed versions.

That's a beautiful gun.

Very nice rifle!!

Do you build rifles in bigger calibers?

Thank you. We make all the common CIP or SAAMI standard calibers all the way up to .465 H&H Magnum.

Superb!

I could sure enough hunt with it even though the bolt is on the wrong side

No need to worry. We can build it in both right- and left-hand configuration.
