Only the best care and products are used on your firearms. Never rushed.

Deep Cleanings

Can't get into all those spots? Don't worry; It is recommend having your firearm fully serviced at least once a year if you are regularly shooting, and even more often for semi-autos. 


Your firearm will be: completely disassembled, hand cleaned, sonic cleaned where possible, inspected for wear, greased, oiled, and protected. No extra work will be done before agreed upon. 


Note: If a scope is mounted, a bore laser reference will be taken before and after.

Scope & Rail Mounting Sight in-up to 300yrd

Rail and Scope mount

It's not easy to mount it right. Let's start off correctly.


All mounts will be level, torqued, and laser bore sighted to a 12" pattern at 50 yards, ensuring they are ready for the range sight in!


You are to provide your own scope, as scopes are very personal and based on individual situations and budgets. I can assist with rails and mounts, adding cost plus shipping and 10% if needed.


*Performance cannot be guaranteed due to unknown scope condition, quality, and handling.

Range Sighting to 100yrd

Whether you mount it or I mount it, let’s get it ready for your hunting season or to show off your aim!  I can still assist you with the setup. 


Depending on your rifle's ballistics and caliber, I can sight your rifle to 100 yards, matching the bullet weight, shape, and manufacturer to your rifle's barrel length and twist rate. 


Note: The rifling and scope must be in good to excellent condition. 


The desired outcome is a 4" pattern (or better).* If I can’t achieve that, there will be no charge, as it indicates there might be something wrong with the barrel, rifling, or scope. I can hold a 3/4" pattern at 300 yards with stock ammo for all my larger calibers. 


A video of the results can be included, and I will share the final information. Ammo is not included in the service but will be offered at cost per shot, due to the variety needed. It should take approximately 20 shots. 


I can also offer assistance up to 300 yards.* 


*Performance after the service cannot be guaranteed due to unknown scope condition, quality, and handling.

Chassis Installation and Accessory Fitting

Some minor adjustments will likely need to be made. Any major modifications will be communicated before any further work is done.
