Welcome to the Back Country
Back Country hunting is a test of skill, endurance, and mental toughness. When you are hundreds of miles from civilization or hiking long distances to find your target animal, you have to be able to rely on your gear. These are the hunts where packing in a backup is not always an option, where reliability is a must, and where every ounce matters. Our team is passionate about back-country hunting because we hunt there. We use the gear we sell and test everything from our Sitka clothing to our suppressors and Gunwerks rifles in the field far from home. Because of our experience and customer service, we are now the number one Gunwerks dealer in the nation.
Keep in mind we carry a wide variety of brands and calibers across a wide price range, so the best way to find your next rifle is to stop by or call us. Our inventory of previously owned firearms is constantly rotating and not everything makes it online.
While going on back-country hunts can get expensive, you don’t have to blow your budget to get something capable. A lot of folks want to know our good, better, and best recommendations so they have an idea of where to start and how to budget.
When it comes to traveling long distances with a reliable weapon these are some of our favorite picks.
