Gunwerks Specialist Inventory
Porter's is the nation's #1 Gunwerks dealer. They carry the full lineup including the Werkman Rifle System—Gunwerks' best value option that delivers 1000-yard performance without unnecessary frills. Small production runs mean limited stock, but their specialists can bundle custom configurations, finishes, and calibers to fit your hunt and budget.
"Our team trusts Gunwerks for high-pressure hunts because we use them." — Derek Huber, Porter's Firearms

Porter's isn't just selling hunting rifles—the owner has done the hunts. Shane was featured on the Backcountry Hunting Podcast discussing his spring 2022 brown bear hunt on the Alaska Peninsula with guide Steve Hallenbeck (Double Broomed Mountain Rifles), plus multi-day treks for 43-inch Dall sheep. This real experience shapes their inventory and customer recommendations.
