Jon Draper recently had the pleasure of testing a beautiful custom rifle built to take on the biggest, meanest and nastiest critters from the plains of Africa to the big forests of the North—the Custom Safari Rifle from Hill Country Rifles. Built with reliability at the forefront, this rifle is one you can trust to go bang when you need it to.
Kimber is one of the big dogs in 1911 handguns, and when the company mated its 5-inch 1911 with a Trijicon RMR red-dot sight, the resulting KHX Custom (OI) turned out to be an excellent hunting handgun when chambered in 10mm Auto.
If you’re looking for the bespoke experience culminating in a rifle which would undoubtedly become a family heirloom, look no further than Todd Ramirez’s Custom Shop LLC.
