Service
Rifle Work
From hunting rifles to precision builds, tuned to shoot straight.
Service Overview
Rifles demand precision, whether the goal is a reliable hunting companion or a tuned precision platform. We service bolt action, semi-automatic, lever action, and single shot rifles with an eye toward accuracy and reliability.
Common rifle projects include trigger work, bedding, action tuning, sight and optic installation, and general repair.
We see everything from a grandfather's lever gun that needs a tune up to a modern sporting rifle heading into a competition season. Our rifle work covers the full range, always with accuracy and reliability as the goal.

Rifle Work FAQ
Can you improve the accuracy of my hunting rifle?
+
Often yes. Trigger work, bedding, and general tuning can meaningfully tighten groups. We evaluate your rifle and recommend realistic options.
Do you work on lever action and older rifles?
+
Yes, we regularly service lever action, older bolt action, and surplus rifles alongside modern platforms.
Can you install a scope while my rifle is in for other work?
+
Yes, scope mounting is often combined with other rifle work. See our scope mounting page for more detail on that service.
What if my rifle has a feeding or extraction issue?
+
We diagnose the cause, which could be related to the magazine, extractor, or ammunition, and repair the specific issue found.
How often should a hunting rifle be serviced?

A pre-season inspection and cleaning is a good habit for most hunting rifles, with more involved work as needed based on use and condition.
