The perfect companion for your next big game safari or upcoming deer hunt is a handcrafted hunting rifle from Run-N-Iron Customizing. We offer unique pistols and rifles chambered in a wide variety of cartridges. Whether it's a bolt action chambered in 470 Nitro Express for an African elephant or an 1885 highwall chambered in 50-140 for hunting North American Buffalo, Run-N-Iron offers magnificent firearms with the power to bring down your trophy. There are many features to consider when crafting your new hunting firearm. Thumbhole stocks fitted to your measurements provide increased control and comfort. The addition of decelerator butt-pads, ported barrels, and integrated muzzle brakes help to tame the recoil generated by powerful firearms. Pillar blocks and glass bedding are also offered to provide the accuracy required for a single kill shot. We also blueprint actions to yield the perfect specifications of a great firearm. As with any Run-N-Iron custom manufactured firearm, the premium finish is tailored to your preference. Nickel and blue matte finishes are popular choices for field hunting guns due to their durability and non-reflectiveness. High polish blues, while more vulnerable to scratching, provide a beautiful luster for those who want to show off their investment. See our Premium Finishes page for a discussion of our various metal finishing processes. At Run-N-Iron Customizing, we know that a great target rifle is centered on the action. Above all else, it has to function flawlessly to give precision accuracy. The quality of your trigger pull has as much impact on accuracy as any other modification, whether it's adjusting a factory trigger or installing target triggers (2 stage and set triggers). The addition of hand turned internal parts also allows your action to function with enhanced smoothness. When creating a custom firearm, nothing is left to chance. That's why we install only the best barrels on the receiver of your choice. Barrels are chambered to the cartridge of your choice. Barrel styles includes octagon, half octagon/half round, fluted and the standard round. Each style is available using either a lightweight or bull barrel configuration. You can also add unique features to your barrel, anything from integrated brakes to ported barrels, plus the sites of your choice. The final component of your new custom firearm is the stock. We take special pride in crafting one-of-a-kind stocks that add beauty, comfort and durability to your firearm. We provide a custom fit stock specific to your measurement and preferences, right down to the color and finish. Anything is possible, from traditional hunting stocks to target thumbholes designed around your particular shooting configuration. When selecting your stock, we offer a wide variety of woods, from laminates to exhibition grade walnut and maple. Our stocks are finished out by sanding to a glass surface, the grain is then filled, and a coat of oil or urethane finish is applied. Both satin and high gloss finishes are available. We offer pillar and glass bedding for the accuracy competitve shooters demand. Other options include custom forends, grip caps, recoil pads, hand checkering and hand engraving. Each stock we craft is truly a work of art. To complete your custom firearm with a beautiful and durable surface, see our Premium Finishes page for a discussion of our metal finishing processes.
