I don’t feel comfortable travelling with my rifle! Do you have any rifles available?
Rifles will be available to rent for your hunt. The right calibers will be available according to the species you will be hunting. We will visit the shooting range first to adjust the scope to your needs and ensure you are comfortable with the rifle before using it.
Rifle rentals are $30 per day per rifle, all ammo included.(bigger calibers' ammo can become expensive, so a small extra cost may be payable, but will be discussed in advance)
