Meticulous Craftsmanship for Unmatched Accuracy and Reliability
At Carolina Custom Rifles, we are passionate about hunting and crafting precision long-range rifles. We’re not the biggest custom rifle company, and we like it that way. This sets us apart, allowing us to meticulously design, build, and test every rifle for dependability and accuracy. Using industry-leading components, we ensure each gun performs at ½” MOA or better with our custom loads.
We guarantee 100% satisfaction or your money back—if we wouldn’t hunt with it, it’s not for sale. With over 40 years of gunsmithing experience, top-tier equipment, and a commitment to quality, we consistently produce rifles that meet our high standards.
Your Carolina Custom Rifle will be the one you grab for that once-in-a-lifetime shot, offering both aesthetic appeal and reliable performance. No other custom gun builder provides better accuracy for long-range hunting and shooting. Contact us today to create your CCR and take your best shot.
Custom Rifles and Pricing
your choice and built to the highest standards. We begin with the industry’s best custom actions, primarily using Stiller Predator actions, though we can discuss other options if desired. These actions are meticulously crafted to extreme tolerances, far surpassing factory actions even after blueprinting.
Next, we pair your chosen action with a match-grade, stainless Hart or Lilja barrel, customized to your specified contour, caliber, and any extras. We primarily use H-S Precision, McMillan, and Manners stocks, but other options can be discussed. The rifle includes BDL bottom metal and your choice of Timney or Jewell triggers, which we adjust and test to your desired weight, typically between 2-2.5 lbs. The rifle features a bead-blasted matte finish and comes with a set of Talley mounts.
During barrel break-in and testing, we develop a custom load for your rifle, including 20 rounds of ammo and load data. We guarantee 1/2 MOA accuracy or better with our ammo, or the rifle is simply “not for sale.”

Frequently Asked Questions
When you buy a factory rifle, you hope it shoots. When you buy a custom rifle it looks the way you designed it, it fits you, its components are of the industry’s best, it comes with ammo formulated and made for your rifle, and it is guaranteed to shoot. If most of your shots are less than 100 yards you can get by with most factory rifles. But if your desire is to take responsible long range shots then your groups better be tight and your equipment reliable.
Usually 9-12 months. Wish I could be more specific but I don’t make the stocks and they typically are 6-8 months according to the company.
$4295 is our starting price. And what is added to your rifle is up to you. Our average rifle is around $4800-$5000 after options are added.
No sorry. There is not a scope allowance in the base price. We are a dealer for Nightforce, Schmidt & Bender, Swarovski, and Vortex but can get you any brand you prefer. We’re in the optic business to help you make the right decision for your hunting needs, to make sure the optic reliability matches the CCR, and hopefully to save you some money.
We use Stiller Predator and Borden actions primarily matched with Hart barrels. Like a Chef, when you get a recipe that your customers love and you are guaranteeing the accuracy, you like to stick to what’s working.
Most of the time no. Occasionally we have a customer that has to back out after the build is complete. Unfortunately, they lose their deposit but it creates an opportunity for someone to get a CCR quick.
When we have time. Lately our custom rifle orders have taken priority so we can’t do a lot. Never hurts to ask though and see how we stand.
- Initial Consultation: Call us to discuss your ideas. We’ll outline the design on paper and provide you with a price.

- Completion and Shipping: Before shipping, the remaining balance is due. Your rifle will be shipped in a hard case with 20 rounds of custom ammo to your chosen gun dealer.
- Evaluation Period: Upon receiving your rifle, you have 21 days to evaluate and test it. If you’re not 100% satisfied and we cannot resolve your concerns, we’ll gladly refund your money.
