    Defiance bought out

    338 Lapua / 300 Norma bolts are still available in every model (except the Outcast). It was removed from the Pricing because there is no longer an upcharge for that. All action lengths and bolt diameters are the same price.

    Machinist Mondays

    Machinist Mondays

    About 10 minutes per part when we run 4. We "probe" each part to locate X,Y, and Z axes, so we are sending the single tool down the exact center of each part and to the exact Z height.

    New production class rifle

    Well said Terry. Our goal is to introduce more people into high quality precision Rifles. Glen has wanted to build a sub $2k precision Rifle since before the PRS existed. It bridges the gap between the guns at the store and high quality Custom Rifles. It will get more people involved in...

    New production class rifle

    We chose the Remington style bolt nose on the Tenacity so that it will work with pre-fit barrels and it’s the type of breech most smiths are accustomed to. Keeping it simple. We chose the coned breech CRF for the BadRock Rifles. It’s also a great system that works very well.
