About this Event
Mallards DRS Safari Classic – Big Bore Shoot
Join Mallards Shooting Supply & Apparel and the Double Rifle Society for an exclusive celebration of big-bore rifles, safari heritage, and the traditions of dangerous-game hunting. Sponsored by John Rigby & Co. and Hornady, this special event brings together fine firearms, renowned personalities, and a one-of-a-kind shooting experience.
Guests will have the opportunity to experience a selection of double rifles and big-bore bolt-action rifles on Mallards’ state-of-the-art 25-yard and 100-yard indoor ranges, as well as view exceptional safari firearms with remarkable histories.
The event will feature special guest speakers, including Marc Newton, Managing Director of John Rigby & Co., who will present Jim Corbett’s legendary original .275 Rigby rifle, famously associated with his hunts for man-eating tigers and leopards in India. World-renowned Professional Hunter Mark Sullivan will also join us to share stories and insight from a lifetime of dangerous-game hunting.
Dave Fulson of Safari Classics TV will present a special Cape buffalo hunting seminar, sharing his knowledge and experiences pursuing one of Africa’s most iconic dangerous-game species. Guests will also enjoy an informative seminar focused on the use of red-dot sights on big-bore rifles and double rifles, covering their growing role in modern dangerous-game hunting.
Following the shooting experience and seminars, guests will gather for a semi-formal dinner and evening program featuring our special guests. The evening will culminate with an exciting announcement from John Rigby & Co.—the unveiling of a brand-new Rigby rifle model.
A rare opportunity to shoot big bores, experience historic safari rifles, learn from some of the most respected names in the hunting world, and be among the first to witness the unveiling of Rigby’s newest rifle.
