Bolt Action (Hunting & Precision)

Precision Defined: From the Backcountry to the Bench

The modern bolt-action rifle has evolved. We specialize in platforms that push the boundaries of accuracy and weight reduction.

Ultralight Hunting & Carbon Fiber

For the hunter who treks miles into public land, every ounce matters. We feature the latest in carbon-fiber barrel technology and skeletonized actions from:

Christensen Arms & Horizon Firearms: Experience the featherweight performance of the Ridgeline or the custom-grade Venatic
Tikka & Browning: The gold standards for out-of-the-box accuracy and weather-beating durability.
Q LLC: The revolutionary The Fix—a crossover platform that brings modern ergonomics to a bolt-action lightweight format.

Long-Range & Competition (PRS)

When the goal is impacting steel at 1,000+ yards, you need chassis rigidity and match-grade barrels.

Bergara: The B-14 HMR and Premier Series offer incredible value for production class competition.
Ruger & Savage: Entry-level precision that punches well above its price class.

Sig Sauer: The Cross series, bridging the gap between tactical utility and hunting precision

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Can I use a rifle for deer hunting in Illinois? A: Yes, but it must be a Single-Shot Rifle chambered in a straight-wall cartridge. We stock specific “Illinois Legal” rifles chambered in .350 Legend, .450 Bushmaster, and .400 Legend from brands like CVA, Henry, and Ruger (when configured as single-shot). These rifles offer significantly more range and accuracy than a slug gun while complying with IDNR regulations.

Q: What is the benefit of a Carbon Fiber barrel like on a Christensen Arms? A: Carbon fiber barrels (found on Christensen Arms and Horizon Firearms) are significantly lighter than traditional steel barrels, making them ideal for hunters who hike long distances. Additionally, carbon fiber is stiffer than steel of the same weight, which helps dissipate heat faster and maintains accuracy during rapid strings of fire.

Q: What does “Sub-MOA” mean? A: “MOA” stands for Minute of Angle. A rifle guaranteed to shoot Sub-MOA (like many Bergara and Tikka models) is capable of shooting a 3-shot group smaller than 1 inch at 100 yards with match-grade ammunition. This is the gold standard for precision hunting and long-range competition.
