American Hunting Rifles spent over 20 years building custom hunting rifles and doing specialized gunsmithing work in Montana. While they've stepped back from taking new custom build orders, the operation now focuses on supplying precision parts to individual shooters and professional gunmakers.
Wayne Jacobson and American Hunting Rifles continue to:
- •Stock specialized parts for CZ 550s, BRNO ZKK rifles, and Ruger firearms
- •Sell completed rifles through their "Available Now" inventory page
- •Supply gunmakers with precision components and upgrades
- •Offer Trijicon RMR mounts designed for Ruger rifles
- •Stock guard screws for CZ 550s and BRNO ZKKs
- •Provide triggers, stocks, safeties, and muzzle devices
- •Carry reloading components
- •Stock reflex sight mounts
They're no longer accepting orders for custom rifle builds or general gunsmithing work, but they'll continue expanding their parts catalog.
Customer feedback tells the real story. Hunters have used AHR rifles across North America and Africa—from Nordic wild caribou in Norway to Cape Buffalo in Botswana to bison in Nebraska. Here's what customers say:
"The stock design absorbed much of the recoil. Even from the bench, a muzzle brake will not be needed at all...My first 2 shots at 50 yards using shooting sticks were just 1/2″ apart; next pair from the bench were overlapping!"
"I have never held a rifle that fits me so well or has such fantastic balance. The fiberglass stock is perfectly proportioned to enhance the handling and feel of the rifle."
"The rifle is everything I hoped it would be and I not only enjoy shooting it, I have absolute confidence in it."

While custom rifle building was their specialty for 20+ years, American Hunting Rifles recognized that supplying precision parts serves both individual shooters upgrading their own rifles and professional gunmakers expanding their capabilities. They still list completed rifles for sale when exceptional examples become available.
For hunters specifically interested in CZ upgrades, American Hunting Rifles recommends Matrix Gunsmithing (719-836-8031), which now performs the same upgrades that made AHR famous, plus new custom work. That referral reflects AHR's connection to the gunsmith community.
