Dave's Sport Shop

Dave's Sport Shop is a second-generation operation that's been supporting Virginia hunters and shooters since the 1980s. Under current owner Justin Munden, the shop specializes in custom smokeless muzzleloaders, precision rifle builds, and shotgun choke work—not typical gun shop fare, but serious gunsmithing.

This is what they're known for. They build on Thompson Center Encore or Remington bolt action frames using:

• •Match-quality stainless cut rifling barrels
• •Proprietary ignition system (no primers to lose)
• •Parker 275 gr sabot-less bullets
• •Output: 2900–3000 fps, 1 MOA accuracy to 500 yards, 5000+ ft/lbs muzzle energy
