Custom Rifles
The best thing about building a custom rifle, is that you get exactly what you want. In my shop, every rifle is built by the same high standards. Most of the components used in building your rifle are made to order, from shops all over the country. Whether it is a long range hunting rifle, a light weight hunting rifle, or a 1,000 yard competition rifle, all of the work is done in my local shop; it is never sent out to a third party.
The accuracy and functionality of a rifle are the most essential qualities to consider in my custom rifle work; you need to be confident when you pull a trigger. Therefore, each custom rifle is tested by me, personally. Whether I am working with a rifle used for long range shooting, or a varmint rifle, each is tested for quality. I ensure that each custom rifle is extremely accurate and reliable. The results of my work are guaranteed.
Do you have an antique rifle in your closet? Or, maybe you have a gun that was handed down to you from your grandfather? Sometimes a custom rifle is not exactly what you need. Sometimes, you need to spruce up what you have. If this sounds like you, you are at the right place. In addition to building custom rifles, I offer a full line of gunsmithing, gun restoration, and refinishing services.
In this video, you will find a basic overview of the process of building a custom rifle and gain insight into why a custom rifle is worth the wait.
Here are examples of targets that have been shot with custom rifles that I have put together (most are 5 shot groups from 100 yards).
