The builder
Hi, I'm Joe. I built this shop because SE Idaho deserves one.
I grew up hunting the mountain tops and shooting rifles that never felt "good enough." When I started building my own, I realized how much having full confidence in my rifles mattered on the ridge.
Western Pursuit is the shop I wish I'd had — honest gunsmithing, real custom work, and somebody who'll pick up the phone when you call.
