AllTerra Arms

AllTerra Arms operates as a custom rifle manufacturer in Boise, specializing in precision bolt-action rifles for hunting and long-range shooting. Founded by Andrew Foster in 2015, the company emerged from Foster's engineering background and dissatisfaction with production hunting rifle limitations. Originally operating under the name Axial Precision, the company rebranded to AllTerra Arms in 2019.

The operation centers around Foster's patented bolt-to-barrel-to-receiver axial alignment system, covered under three US patents (10466005, 10132579, and 10670354). After two years of research, development, and field testing, the company developed what they describe as a bridge between benchrest precision and hunting rifle reliability. The facility at 6898 South Supply Way houses state-of-the-art CNC milling machines and lathes for manufacturing precision components from premium materials.

AllTerra Arms focuses exclusively on bolt-action rifle systems built around their proprietary technology. Each rifle undergoes precision manufacturing with components machined in-house from premium materials. The company's quality control process includes rigorous testing of every component before hand finishing and final assembly.

The manufacturing process involves CNC machining of critical components, with lead machinist Matt Kelso overseeing all machining operations and quality control. Gunsmith Tyler Roberts, a graduate of Minnesota's Pine Technical College School of Gunsmithing and former Dakota Arms and Remington Custom Shop employee, handles rifle assembly and chambering work. The company tests every completed rifle to verify accuracy standards before delivery.

Custom rifle builds require a 50% deposit, with the remainder due upon completion. Order changes incur a $100 fee and extend build times. The company offers various stock options and Cerakote finishes, handled by Drayton Murphy, who brings detail-oriented experience from sign making to the coating process.

The company offers comprehensive long-range shooting solutions beyond rifle manufacturing. Their Long Range Solution Packages include shooting customer rifles at 100, 500, and 1,000 yards to establish ballistic curves. Package options range from basic ballistic app solutions at $1,000 to premium Zeiss Binocular Ballistic Solutions at $4,999.

AllTerra operates an annual Long Range School at Day Mountain Ranch in Preston, Idaho. The three-day course runs May 15-17, 2026, limited to 12 students using AllTerra rifles only. The program includes premium meals and lodging in on-site cabins, with instruction covering ballistics, wind reading, and shooter-spotter communication. Pricing starts at $3,499 for attendees bringing their own AllTerra rifle and ammunition, with demo rifle packages available for an additional $450.

The course covers shooting fundamentals, ballistics adjustments, and technical wind conditions using the ranch's mountaintop tower range with steel targets from 300 to 1,600 yards. Students work in shooter-spotter pairs under instruction from Mike Perkins, progressing from basic zeroing to complex angle and wind scenarios.

Brandon Peacock handles ammunition production and ballistic testing as the company's specialist in these areas. A BYU-Idaho Business Finance graduate with expertise in long-range shooting and handloading, Peacock tests every AllTerra rifle to ensure accuracy standards. The company produces AllTerra Premium Ammunition at $129 per box, with multiple variants available.

Ballistic services include comprehensive data collection and analysis for customer rifles. The company shoots rifles at multiple distances to establish true ballistic curves, providing data in user-friendly formats ranging from smartphone apps to integrated rangefinder and binocular solutions. These services support customers in extending effective shooting distances for hunting and target applications.

The AllTerra team combines diverse expertise in manufacturing, gunsmithing, and shooting sports. General Manager Todd Harney oversees marketing, procurement, and customer relations, bringing experience from hunting industry brands including KUIU, Western Hunter, and Wilderness Athlete. Harney guides for Dall Sheep in Alaska and focuses on ensuring product quality and customer experience.

Alex Martin handles CNC machining and stock production, bringing CNC woodworking experience and traditional bowhunting background as a past president of Idaho Traditional Bowhunters. Christine Peterson manages office operations with over two decades of business experience from the wine and beverage industry. CFO Mick Armstrong brings CPA credentials and experience with multiple corporations.

AllTerra Arms operates by appointment only Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm MST. The facility does not accommodate walk-in visits, requiring customers to schedule appointments for consultations or rifle pickups. Phone contact at 208-608-5179 handles scheduling and customer inquiries, with email support available at [email protected].

The company accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover credit cards through SSL-encrypted processing systems. Custom rifle orders require 50% deposits, with remaining balances due upon completion. Cancellation policies vary based on build progress, with full deposit forfeiture if rifles enter the manufacturing process.

FFL transfers require customers to arrange local dealers for firearm shipments. The company handles export sales but requires compliance with ITAR and EAR regulations, including citizenship verification through passport or birth certificate documentation. Foreign sales require advance coordination with customer support for export procedures and licensing requirements.

"AllTerra Arms, where perfection is standard" reflects the company's approach to precision rifle manufacturing and customer service standards.
