Venator partners with Johann Fanzoj, a family of master gunmakers, to celebrate craftsmanship, tradition, and innovation. Daniela Fanzoj, Creative Director and ninth-generation artisan, shares insights on the artistry behind bespoke rifles. Combining centuries of heritage with modern technology, Fanzoj and Venator unite legacy and luxury, creating hunting experiences and firearms that reflect personal values, performance, and timeless elegance.
Venator partners with Johann Fanzoj to create a custom Classic M98, blending tradition, precision, and artistry. Built around the legendary Mauser 98 action, this bespoke rifle is a reflection of shared values and hunting excellence. Crafted with premium materials and meticulous attention to detail, the Classic M98 is more than a rifle, it is an heirloom, offering hunters a connection to heritage and a timeless symbol of luxury.

Focused on people, wildlife, and the environment, the initiative supports youth education, ethical hunting practices, habitat restoration, and biodiversity programs. By partnering with communities and organizations, Legacy One ensures hunting traditions and natural habitats thrive for future generations. Join us in protecting what we love and shaping a responsible, sustainable future for hunting.
For over three decades, the Fraser family and Venator have defined record Red Stag hunting in New Zealand. From the historic 1991 pursuit guided by Duncan’s uncle to the 2023 Kings Slam, hunters have achieved world-class trophies using rifle, bow, crossbow, and muzzleloader. Our legacy of record-setting hunts reflects skill, heritage, and the pursuit of unforgettable adventures in some of the Southern Hemisphere’s most breathtaking landscapes.
