The Ryan Breeding Rifle

The Ryan Breeding Rifle  is the culmination of my long association with noted Riflemaker and African Hunter , Gil Van Horn . This combined effort totals over 90 years experience in methods and design innovations, which guarantees the finest and most dependable Safari rifles available today.

My rifles have been extensively tested and proven in game fields throughout the world by clients and professional hunters alike. Many professionals opt for my 5-shot short barrel big bores for the ultimate fast handling ‘stopper’ in dangerous situations. Ultra rugged design ensures the utmost dependability. You can be assured that the finest attention to detail will be applied at every phase in the construction of your rifle. I sincerely appreciate your interest in my work, and I look forward to building you a Safari rifle to be proud of for years to come.

READ ME: HOW TO ORDER FROM LRI

Custom rifles - all weather safari and dangerous game.

Going to Africa is a rare opportunity and life changing experience.  Your commitment as a sportsman must be mirrored in the rifle you carry.  Our Safari and Dangerous Game rifles are typically built on proven control round feed action designs like the Dakota Arms Model 76 and Pre 64 Winchester Model 70’s. 

The use of modern composite stocks, processes, and firearms coatings gives these guns an all weather capability  intended for rugged and intense use. 

Our unique pillar bedding system combined with double cross pinning the  stock ensures your rifle delivers exceptional accuracy anywhere in the world.

Detail items such as Ken Howel Sling studs, properly timed screws, and clean lines deliver the respect and legacy inspired by this kind of rifle.  LRI makes the effort to pay homage to this exclusive community.   

Barrel crowns are not an afterthought, but rather a careful variation of the traditional sporter crown.  Ours feature a true single pointed 11* relief angle that transitions elegantly to the well established radiused style sporter crown.

Our efforts are in no way intended to replace the classic designs of days past.  They are meant as an alternative more suited to the modern sportsman.  This is done through the use of advanced composites and finishes designed to go anywhere in the world.

As always, we strive to build rifles that tell a story with every scratch and dent acquired only after a lifetime of faithful service.

Cartridges from .416 Rigby to 600 Overkill are built with the utmost respect for reliability, capacity, performance, and fast deployable weapons exceeding the capacity of most other modern big bore rifles.

Hill Country Rifles

TIGHTEST GROUP RIFLES

THE BEST OF THE BEST.

custom safari rifle makers

FULL CUSTOM SERIES:

Carbon rifleman.

No other rifle combines the precision of the Defiance Action, Proof Research carbon fiber barrel, and our proprietary Rifleman stock design in a lightweight carbon fiber shell.

The Defiance action features a one-piece bolt construction with deep spiral flutes and very open “Sheep Hunter” loading and ejection port. The port design reduces action weight and makes it very easy to load cartridges into the rifle, even in gloved hands.

THE RIFLEMAN

Our Rifleman stock features the best blend of grip shape, comb height, and forearm dimensions of any long range hunting stock on the market and is exclusive to HCR.

THE FOUNDATION

Every rifle in our full custom series is individually aluminum pillar and glass bedded. This produces action bedding that is an exact, one-to-one match to your specific stock and action. This is why every one of these rifles is guaranteed to shoot sub-½” groups at 100 yards with factory hunting ammunition.

YOUR CLEAREST PATH TO ACCURACY.

Our Pathfinder Series combines our 28 years of rifle building expertise with the latest technology in action, barrel, and stock design to produce a highly accurate, lightweight, and versatile mini-chassis build.

5/8 MOA ACCURACY

3-Shot Group at 100 yards with Factory Ammunition. We shoot every rifle in our underground range to test and verify proper feeding, extraction, ejection and accuracy. You will receive the final targets and ammunition data.

LIGHTWEIGHT AND VERSATILE

The Manners-PH stock features an integral, snag-free ARCA and Bipod rail design, in a strong, lightweight, carbon fiber construction with a perfectly machined mini-chassis system.

EXCLUSIVE STOCK FINISH

Formulated by one of our very own gunsmiths, our one of a kind Lucent Camo paint paired with the carbon fiber stock gives the Pathfinder rifle a holographic effect that has never been seen before in the industry.

THE TIKKA T3 PLATFORM

Harvester series.

We recognize that not everyone is ready to spend what our full custom rifles cost. We strive to cater to as many hunters as possible. Our Harvester rifles, provides a very accurate, high-quality, lightweight rifle, at a price aimed at maximizing value.

TIKKA T3 PLATFORM

The Tikka T3 gives us a lightweight platform with a detachable box magazine and a short, quick 60-degree bolt throw, Sako extractor and adjustable trigger. We have been very pleased with the machining quality of the barrels and chambers and are confident we can guarantee a sub-inch grouping rifle at 100 yards with factory ammunition.

A CUSTOM LOOK

In addition to perfectly bedding the action, we recrown the barrel to ensure a perfectly concentric crown. The factory Tikka stock is replaced with a McMillan hand-laid fiberglass stock with 1” Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad. Then we apply our rust-proof Cerakote finish to the metal to give you a fantastic custom look in an extremely accurate, reliable, lightweight hunting rifle at a great price.

SEE HOW THEY SHOOT

The pathfinder series.

We just finished shooting our latest run of Pathfinder Rifles and we want to show you how they shoot.

Just like our Custom Rifles, We shoot every Pathfinder Rifle we build. That sounds pretty basic, but you would be amazed at how many rifle shops never shoot their rifles for groups to verify Proper feeding, ejection, and accuracy with factory ammunition. You will receive the targets showing how your rifle performs. You don’t have to buy several different boxes of ammunition to test. You don’t have to spend hours of range time and money trying out different loads or trying to figure out why the rifle does not shoot well, feed well, or operate correctly. You will already know the ammo the rifle shoots accurately.

While most Pathfinder Rifles are shooting groups below 1/2 MOA, we see a few that are just a little bit over. We will not ship a rifle that groups over ⅝ MOA and you will receive the actual target for your rifle. All shooting is done by a real person from a bag rest at 100 yards with Factory Ammunition. Check out the video to see how they really shoot!

Testimonials

What our riflemen say....

I just wanted to give you and your whole team there at Hill Country Rifles kudos on a job well done. You built me a custom 308 win match several months ago and I couldn't be happier. My girlfriend recently shot her first deer with it and loves shooting the rifle. I soon after shot a mule deer in west Texas at 507 yards which is my furthest yet. The rifle consistently shoots .25 moa at 100 yards if I do my part. Anyways just wanted to let y'all know I couldn't be happier. Thanks again.

Hunted with the 35 whelen you built for me and it shoots amazingly well. Put 3 rounds of DT 200 gr ttsx inside a quarter at 100. Just another testament.

The rifle that you made for me a couple of years ago, is an absolute tack driver, half inch MOA @ 200 yards, and has done very well in Africa. I would certainly not hesitate to have another built by you all.

I received my rifle and was able to shoot it over the weekend. I am impressed. The build came out exactly how I hoped it would. I appreciate you taking the time to help me decide what was best for what I needed. I was able to shoot a 1/2 inch group with my first three shots. Dialed the turrets to 300 and hit my steel plate 6 out of 6 times.

Charles W. Johnson – October 10, 2022

When you buy the best you are always happy with it. I own Weatherby Shotguns which are amazing and Weatherby Rifles and find their construction and actions to be amazing! I am lucky I can buy whatever I want. I want Weatherby because of the quality and capability. They make me a better hunter and a better sportsmen. I am especially impressed with the Weatherby weapon quality. It is clear to me that they think things through and don’t skimp on quality and in turn my ability is enhanced because of the confidence I have in their product.

Bob – November 21, 2018

Bought this rifle last year in 375 H&H cal. Took it to Alaska for Brown bear hunt. On second day of hunt, was fortunate enough to come upon big brown bear. Wind shifted and bear stood up on hind legs as he caught our scent from 150 yds away. One shot in chest knocked bear down. By the time we reached him, he was dead. My 2nd hunt in Africa I took down 39″ Cape Buffalo. Single shot. Thus far, this gun has been everything I could ask for in big game rifle. Was looking at the 416, but for time being, the 375 H&H has performed spectacular.

Shak. – November 23, 2017

Mark V riffle is the best riffle I have ever owned. I was stun by its precise accuracy. I used Mark V 460 Deluxe on water buffalo. believe, it took just one shot. I was so pleased that I recently added Mark V 416 safari to my collection. I love it. Recommend to any one for big games

Fox – September 30, 2017

I have used the Weatherby Safari rifle in .375 H&H on 3 African safaris with outstanding success. The ultra smooth hand honed action was definitely a boon when I had to use 2 follow up shots in rapid succession to procure my bull Elephant (50lbs tusks each side). I’ve also taken a massive 41″ Cape buffalo with one shot. Huge 550lb male Lion and a beautiful leopard (one shot kills). Ammunition used was Woodleigh 300 gr. Hydrostatic brass solids (undoubtedly the best bullet I’ve used on 7 African safaris!!!) I’ve also taken many plains game with this bullet as the hydrostatic effect is absolutely amazing!! The rifle itself is beautiful in presentation and seems to get more handsome with age!! One day I hope I can complete my Big 5 dream (White Rhino of course) with this beautiful, accurate rifle.

Jack – April 26, 2017

I have three Mark V Safari Rifles. At my peak of owning rifles intended for dangerous game, I had at least 30 from various makers chambered for the 375 H&H on up. Here’s what I have discovered over some four decades of enjoying the big bores… Weatherby provides the absolute most for the money spent. The Safari Rifle isn’t cheap, but no other maker comes close on wood grading or actual field performance. Each time when my new Mark V Safari arrived (375 H&H, 416 Wby Mag, 460 Wby Mag), I was taken back by what I felt was astoundingly better stock figure and layout than I had paid for. From the standing bench rest (it’s not best to sit down for these rounds), even the 460 shoots right at an inch. The other two are tighter yet. I’ve owned similar-caliber rifles that were priced in the five figures, and they didn’t come anywhere close to that performance. As I reduce out my considerable stash of fine rifles, I have moved the Weatherbys to the “keep em’ forever” vault.

Classic "Big Five" Double Rifle

custom safari rifle makers

Classic “Big Five” Double Rifle. The big game version of the Classic has all the attributes of the legendary Safari rifles.

Nothing epitomizes the skills and experience needed for a successful hunt like taking game with a classic double rifle. Prized by dangerous game hunters for years the classic double rifle provides the security and reliability when each shot really counts. The Krieghoff Classic "Big Five" Double Rifle combines the heritage of the traditional side-by-side and the sophistication of the most modern design and manufacturing technology. The CLASSIC is available in the most common and suitable calibers. Krieghoff’s master gunmakers combined both traditional wisdom and innovative ideas to build a rifle that provides the ultimate in safety and reliability and a wide range of features that ensure smooth, quick, and accurate shooting. In addition to the superb handling of the rifle, a most important feature is the manual cocking device, which is located on the top tang, in the position usually occupied by a conventional safety. It allows carrying the CLASSIC fully loaded with the hammers uncocked – the safest position since there is no chance of an accidental discharge. Craig Boddington, an accomplished hunter and knowledgeable writer remarks: “After using it in the field, I am increasingly impressed with your cocking device versus a traditional safety. Great rifle, and of course it performed wonderfully.”

Classic “Big Five” Double Rifle

  • Twin-hammer action with Universal Trigger System and Combi-Cocking Device
  • Set trigger integrated in the front trigger
  • Slim compact steel action with reinforced sidewalls for extra strength
  • Small Arabesques engraving

  • Automatic hammer safety to prevent the Classic from firing unless it is fully closed

  • Purdey style extension between the barrels and the face of the standing breech to withstand lateral bending forces
  • Virtually horizontal firing pin placement for error-free firing and fast lock-time
  • Sliding, self-adjusting wedge for secure bolting
  • Broad, massive underlugs to withstand wear and provide optimal seating of the underlug in the action
  • Reliable ejector
  • Front plate for pivot bridge mount
  • Steel trigger floor plate and steel trigger guard
  • Nickel plated receiver finish
  • Quick detachable sling swivels

So I’m home watching my little guy for what feels like day 12,345 of this pandemic, and I was just wondering any opinions on the best American Made safari rifle. For the sake of argument, 375 H&H. This is made to be a fun argument, not a personal attack on anyone’s trigger religion. Ready, Go!  

MRBlack

My vote has to go to the Winchester Model 70 Safari Express.  

Patton63

There are a lot of variables that could influence someone’s choice and define the scope of your question: Production rifle, semi-custom, or custom? Best in terms of fit and finish (e.g., grade of wood and bluing), or utility? Accuracy? Value for dollar or money is not object?  

CBH Australia

  • CBH Australia

Can we ask if it has to be CRF or Push feed????? i reckon a Winchester might be nice to have a classic. in CRF of course i am sure there are a few newer firms that produce high quality limited production runs or otherwise custom  

Hogpatrol

If I didn't build my own, I'd save my pennies and buy once, cry once with one of these two. YMMV. https://bordenrifles.com/custom-rifles/hunting-rifles/ https://www.kelbly.com/koda-rifle/

If we're talking about production rifles I suspect there will be a lot of votes for the Winchester M70 375H&H but my choice is a Ruger Guide Gun in 375 Ruger.  

Shootist43

American made or American brand?  

Red Leg

A number of American custom makers can build a truly world class bespoke rifle for Africa. I think the best production rifle is probably the Dakota Model 76 African or Safari. My second choice would be a Kimber Caprivi.  

Major Khan

My personal preference goes for the " Rifle Man's Rifle " - A Winchester Model 70 Safari Express , chambered in .375 Holland & Holland magnum calibre ... With a bull barrel and a super grade stock .Old school American craftsmanship at it's finest , great values for the money ... And as reliable as a faithful spouse . What is there ... Not to like ? Among bespoke makers ... I am partial to the works of Griffin & Howe .There also used to be another extremely popular bespoke rifle maker in the 1960s ... Who built several of the the custom bolt rifles brought by my American clients to India , for shikar . His name was Fred Wells . He even manufactured his own magnum length Mauser 98 actions ... Although , he preferred using the Enfield Model 1917 action the most .  

Waterbuck2008

Waterbuck2008

What The Major said gets my vote, and it's what I use. With a low-power Leupold scope, it's The Affordable American Dream.

Aussie Mal

I'm not saying it is the best, as I'm not familiar with many of the models already mentioned, but I'm happy enough with my Ruger RSM in 375 H&H. It functions smoothly, precisely, is accurate, strong and pleasing to look at with well figured walnut for an off the shelf rifle.  

meigsbucks

As far as a straight OTC rifle, the Winchester M70 with the Kimber Talkeetna / Caprivi a second choice. If MRC was still in business or restarts, it would be my top choice. Of course you may be able to find one second hand.  

Another vote here for the Winchester Model 70 Safari Express. No better rifle for the money anywhere.  

Ryan

Hmm, Since I shoot Left-handed and I don't know of a currently produced 375 H&H aside from customs I'd go Ruger M77 African in 375 Ruger. Mine has been great. Otherwise I'd say a Ruger #1 in 375 H&H.  

375Fox

I really like the Winchester model 70, but they are actually made in Portugal now. http://www.winchesterguns.com/support/faq/where-are-winchester-firearms-manufactured.html

off the rack I will take an older american made win 70 CRF any day! Old rem700 custom when they first came out with synthetic stock and stainless barrel are nice if you can live without CRF. New REMs are POS! as regards custom guns there were and are lots of guys in america that make you a fine custom rifle.
