Prophet River Firearms

Prophet River Firearms started in 1994 as Prophet River Holdings, a web services company for hunting and fishing outfitters. In 2002, founder Clayton Smiley decided to import a Cooper Model 57 .22 rifle for himself from the US—and discovered there was almost no one in Canada offering this service. What began as importing for friends became a full business in January 2008.

By July 2008, Clay expanded into retail inventory. Two years later, Prophet River opened a storefront in downtown Lloydminster, Alberta. They've since moved to a larger location on the west side near the Yellowhead Highway, now serving all of Canada as a major firearms, optics, and accessories retailer.

The Import Specialization

Prophet River's core service is importing firearms from the US into Canada legally. This means handling all paperwork on both sides of the border, registering firearms, and transferring them to your PAL/FAC before shipping by mail, courier, or bus. This removes the headache that stops most Canadian shooters from accessing US inventory.

"There are very few companies in the Canadian firearms industry that offer the line of products and services that Prophet River is proud to provide. We offer distinctive and quality products with competitive pricing."

Prophet River maintains an active "Our Customers" gallery showcasing real hunts: grizzly bears taken in the Yukon with custom 358s, moose from BC, whitetail across the Prairies, African safaris with dangerous game rifles, and countless first hunts with Crickett .22s. This isn't marketing fluff—these are actual Prophet River customers sharing real harvests.
