Dave and Matt started Hill Country Rifle Company in 1996, after they had worked for other companies in the industry. They are also customers in the industry. They have been on your side of the counter, your end of the phone, or more likely today, your end of the email. Dave and Matt built HCR to give you the same things they wanted as customers; Friendly, professional customer service, extremely high quality products made with the best components available in the world, and guaranteed results that are tested and verified before you ever take delivery of your rifle.
We shoot every rifle we build. That sounds pretty basic, but you would be amazed at how many rifle shops never shoot their rifles for groups to verify Proper feeding, ejection, and accuracy with factory ammunition. You will receive the targets showing how your rifle performs. You don’t have to buy several different boxes of ammunition to test. You don’t have to spend hours of range time and money trying out different loads or trying to figure out why the rifle does not shoot well, feed well, or operate correctly. You will already know the ammo the rifle shoots accurately and we will professionally mount your scope and sight the rifle in.
Being a large, high-volume company has never been our goal. We are a small group of family and team members focused solely on building the best performing rifles we know how to build. We have the best rifle builders in the country and they enjoy a great work environment, where results are valued more than volume. Your rifle will be delivered on time, but will never be rushed. We take pride in every rifle, every target, and love what we do.
Our Accuracy guarantee is very clear and very simple. Our custom rifles and Pathfinder rifles are guaranteed to shoot 3-shot, 1/2″ or better groups, at 100 yards with recommended factory ammunition in most calibers. You will get the targets that show the actual groups from your rifle, shot off a bench on a simple front and rear bag rest. You do not have to hand load. You do not have to buy custom ammo from us. Even if you are going to reload, a rifle that shoots 1/2″ groups with factory ammunition will make your reloading work much easier.
We recognize that not everyone is ready to spend what our custom rifles cost. We strive to cater to as many customers as possible. Our Harvester rifles, Pathfinder series, and Rifle Services provide a wide range of price options. These also include complete testing, shooting, verification of accuracy with factory ammo, scope mounting, sight-in, and final targets from your rifle.
We have a team of customer service specialists — who are also hunters and deeply involved in the industry — to help you at any time. You are welcome to call for status updates, billing questions, or technical questions about rifles, scopes, optics, or hunting. We will never make you feel like you are inconveniencing us with a phone call or email. We strive to return all messages the same day we receive them, or early the next day at the latest.
You are the reason we get to do what we do and we appreciate it. We're excited to build your next rifle. Reach out today and let's get your Hill Country Rifle built!"
