A Good Day at the Office

A good day at the office seemed like a good title for this section. My customers like to share their good days with me and so I am in turn sharing them with you

Bear

My morning email, a simple “310 yds, never ran 10 feet” A Browning X-Bolt in 7mm-08 REM with Hornady Precision Hunter ELD-X 150 gr. Swarovski Z3 optics. Set up, chronographed, sighted in @ 200yds.

Custom Rifle

Good morning Dan. Hope all
Is well with you. Just wanted to pass on a few pictures of me and the
rifle you set up for me.
Started practicing early this year to gain confidence with my rifle
system. Confirmed zero at 100 and moved as far as 500 yards. Did not
miss once on a 10 inch gong. What a tac driver. Thanks for the great
set up as always. I will keep you posted when I get out to 1000.

30-06

Dear Hillbilly Arms,

It’s been 5 years since I had my Savage 30.06 serviced by your company along with my Leupold scope mounted and sighted in.
Over the last 10 days I have been quadding through some of the most beautiful yet rough terrain in Alberta, with my rifle on the quad rack in front of me. Although worried this might create some stress or possibly jar my firearm enough to knock it out of “True” sight it all came together last night and I have no doubt your quality precision craftsmanship played a major role.

Thank you for your work

Big Sheep

“Hi Dan, just wanted to let you know that your sighting in did the trick!!!”

I was able to make a perfect shot on a bull elk at 220 yards on opening day. I am looking forward to the next rifle project!
Sam”

Ladder 49

“Hey Dan. Got it done. 1 shot to the head. Worked like a charm as usual.”

Christensen M14 chambered in 7mm-08 Remington. We set this rifle up with a Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44mm and tuned it to run Hornady SSTs. A sharp, well-balanced setup that’s ready for serious work when it counts.

A family affair! Christensen Arms MPR chambered in 6.5 PRC. Well set up, well used, and enjoyed the way it ought to be. 

We sure enjoy it when customers send us photos from their successful adventures, and this one’s a standout. Cold, miserable, blizzard-like conditions—but a successful hunt all the same.

This Sako A7 is topped with a Leupold VX-5HD Gen 2 3-15x44mm and was shooting Hornady Precision Hunter ELD-X 162 gr in 7mm Rem Mag. If there was ever proof that Leupold optics perform in the harshest weather, this blustery day says it all.

Best emails I get are customer’s successes!

“Did it again Dan. 265 yards with 1 shot from my Christensen arms MPR chambered in 6.5 PRC. This 6×7 bull is my largest yet”

This is one heck of a monster, eh?

A good day in my office!

Sako M85 M chambered in .270 WSM. We set up the rifle, dialed in the scope and eye relief, and compared ammunition to find what delivered the best accuracy. Solid rifle, careful setup, and results that speak for themselves.  

Built on a trued and squared Remington Model 700 action, this rifle features a 26″ International Barrels Inc. Sendero/varmint-contour barrel with spiral fluting, paired with an International Barrels Inc. four-gill muzzle brake. It’s fitted with a TriggerTech trigger, an Evolution Gun Works heavy recoil lug, Nightforce optics, and a Murphy Precision 30-MOA Picatinny rail, all housed in an H-S Precision stock. Chambered in .300 PRC.

This rig has accounted for game at 712 yards and has since gone on to take elk at approximately 900 yards. A true extreme-range hammer, built to perform when distances stretch long and conditions get serious.

After many years faithfully putting in for a Southern Alberta bull moose draw, this is no time to take chances on a miss. A Thompson single-shot rifle topped with Leupold optics, properly set up and range tested.

 

Cold day, plenty of snow, and tough conditions—but all worth it in the end. A smiling hunter and a successful harvest. That’s what it’s all about.
