Hill Country Rifles

Hill Country Rifles builds custom rifles that shoot. Located in New Braunfels, Texas, they've spent nearly three decades perfecting precision rifle design and manufacturing. Every rifle that ships is individually tested in their underground range to verify accuracy, function, feeding, and ejection before it reaches you.

Carbon Rifleman Their signature build combines a Defiance Action (one-piece bolt, deep spiral flutes, Sheep Hunter loading port), Proof Research carbon fiber barrel, and HCR's proprietary Rifleman stock. Individual aluminum pillar and glass bedding creates an exact one-to-one match between action and stock. Guaranteed sub-1/2" groups at 100 yards with factory hunting ammo. Pricing starts around $7,500.

Carbon Hunter Similar precision to the Carbon Rifleman but paired with the lightweight Manners Composite Stocks Pro Hunter (MCS-PH) or Mountain Tracker stock. Snag-free design built for hunting applications. Runs $8,000-$8,100.

Safari Rifle Purpose-built for dangerous game hunting. Features a Model 70-style control-round feed action—the most reliable feeding system available. Includes HCR's patent-pending DG-RDS (Dangerous Game Red-Dot System) for blazing-fast sight acquisition and follow-up accuracy. Bedded into a McMillan Supergrade stock and rigorously tested for function and reliability.

Pathfinder Series A lightweight, highly accurate mini-chassis build combining 28 years of expertise with modern action, barrel, and stock technology. 1/2 MOA accuracy guaranteed at 100 yards (3-shot groups with factory ammo). Ships with final targets and ammunition data. Manners-PH carbon fiber stock with integral ARCA and bipod rail. Custom HCR paint options available (Mirage or Web patterns). Starting at $4,999.

Long Range Hunter Purpose-built for extended-range ethical hunting shots. Takes advantage of modern rangefinders and precision scope turrets.

"The rifle consistently shoots .25 MOA at 100 yards if I do my part... shot a mule deer in west Texas at 507 yards which is my furthest yet." — Davis Dewald

"Shot a 1/2 inch group with my first three shots. Dialed the turrets to 300 and hit my steel plate 6 out of 6 times." — Ben Hailey

"The rifle that you made for me a couple of years ago is an absolute tack driver, half inch MOA @ 200 yards, and has done very well in Africa." — Mark Silberstein
