2008 Live Auction List
Please Note - LIVE AUCTION INCENTIVE RAFFLE
-
As an incentive for auction participants to bid full value or over full value during this evening's Live Auction, a special raffle has been created.
Tickets for this raffle may not be purchased.
There is only one way to be entered into this raffle -
be the successful bidder on any hunt or fishing trip item for which full value or over value is paid and receive one ticket for this special raffle.
We'll draw one ticket at the close of the live
auction. Any item with an asterisk (*
) appearing before the stated value qualifies for this raffle drawing.
Bansner's Ultimate Rifle's, L.L.C., has created one of
their "Alpine Hunter" series rifles chambered in the ever
popular .300 WSM cartridge as the prize in this special
raffle. This quality package is built around the
strong Howa 1500 S/S barreled action. Bansner's has
accurized and milled the receiver to give a more distinct
look as well as reducing weight. The barrel has been
fluted with six grooves to aid in better balancing
characteristics. To help control recoil, they have
fitted their 'Slim-Line Shorty' muzzle brake which reduces
recoil up to 50%! All metal is coated with their polymer
"Ti" K-Kote to add durability in extreme field
conditions. The stock is a High-Tech Specialties,
fiberglass design featuring a 1" Pachmayr Decelerator recoil
pad cut to a 13 ˝" LOP. The stock is painted with a
textured, Café/Safari/Tumbleweed/Black finish. To top
off this quality hunting package, they have mounted a Leupold
VX-III 3.5-10X50 matte scope set in Talley QD bases and
rings. Hunters all across the globe have come to rely on
Bansner's Ultimate Rifles for a successful adventure. A
total of just five hunt or fishing trips items were sold at
or above full value during the 2007 auction. Because we
have limited the number of items that qualify for this
raffle, the odds will be great again this year!
