Preston, Idaho Family-owned Retail Showroom Custom Rifles Gunsmithing

When the rifle has to be yours alone.

Built one at a time, in Preston. Barreled, threaded, chambered, and stocked for the country you hunt or the discipline you compete in. Not a catalog rifle with your name on it.

Three lanes we build in

Three categories. One bench.

If your build doesn't quite fit one of these, ask anyway — we've taken on plenty that didn't fit a category at first.

01

Western big-game

Lightweight hunting rifles for elk, mule deer, sheep, and mountain hunting. 6.5 PRC, 7 PRC, .300 PRC, .28 Nosler.

02

Long-range & PRS

Chassis builds for the bench and the line — built ready for the abuse. 6.5 Creedmoor, 6 Dasher, 6 GT.

03

Heirloom & restoration

Restocking, custom finishes, the rifle that gets handed down.

How a build moves

Four steps. No mystery.

From the first phone call to the rifle in your hands.

Step 01

Consult

Phone, email, or in person. Tell us what you hunt or shoot, what you want from the rifle.

Step 02

Spec

Caliber, action, barrel, stock, finish. Quoted before we start the work.

Step 03

Build

Once we're under deposit, we'll send updates and photos as the project moves forward. Timeline depends on parts and build details.

Step 04

Delivery

Picked up at the shop or shipped to your FFL. We zero before delivery when possible.

Accuracy

Sub-MOA. Period.

We don't advertise broad strokes at accuracy like others. We expect our rifles to shoot sub-MOA — that's the standard, not the goal.

Budget

We build at every level.

From $5,000 builds down to under $1,500. Tell us what you're working with and we'll help you find what's best for you.

  • Tier 1$5,000 +
  • Tier 2$3,500 – $5,000
  • Tier 3$1,500 – $3,500
  • Tier 4Under $1,500
"Shot placement and cold bore shots are the two single most important parts of your hunting rifle."— Joe
