Shield Rifleworks R700 Precision Rifle, M24 416R 24.0" Threaded Barrel, MDT XRS Chassis, Black, 6.5 Creedmoor

A custom rifle build from the ground up. Starting with the best American-made raw materials, then onto our Machine Shop, our Cerakote lab, then final assembly and testing. All of our precision rifles are produced in-house from start to finish at our facility in Central Alberta. Years in the making, we are bringing our custom rifles to market in small-batch limited runs. Hand-built one at a time, all of our rifle barrels are thoroughly tested at distance and guaranteed sub-MOA with a 5-shot group.

It all starts with the steel. For this build we chose Criterion barrels for our blank supplier. An iconic barrel manufacturer operating out of Wisconsin for over 20 years. Known for partnering with John Krieger in the early days to create a button-rifle process capable of match-grade performance. We start these barrels on our CNC machines with an M24 type profile that offers a great balance between heavyweight rigidity and packable maneuverability. We then cut our chambers using only the best reamers from Dave Manson. Well known in the industry as one of the greatest, Manson reamers have helped us achieve the accuracy we require from our barrels.

This rifle build was designed with performance and budget in mind. We wanted to build a rifle that gave the shooter the accuracy and repeatability required to make those long-range shots, but without breaking the bank. These days most rifle builders won't even talk to you for anything less than 4k. So when we started this, we felt there was an opportunity in the market. Create a sub-MOA precision rifle, capable of shooting 1000 yards in the mid-2000 price range. A custom rifle, at a production price point. This was the goal and our team delivered.
