ACCURIZER SERVICES Watch Paul breakdown the process! FREE ESTIMATE Overview An Accurizer Service by Precision Hunting Supply is a time-tested and proven method for maximizing the ballistic performance of your rifle. This service is intended to transform your hunting rifle into a comprehensive long-range shooting system enabling you to confidently and consistently harvest big game at extended ranges. We regularly Accurize a variety of makes and models of rifles including Remington, Winchester, Browning, Christensen Arms, Ruger, Tikka, Nosler, as well as AR and tactical platforms. You can even purchase popular production brands through us and save over retail! An Accurizer Service is a multi-step process consisting of the following: 1. Professional Scope Mount The first step in this process is a scope mount where our Long-Range Technicians (LRT’s) carefully affix your optic using professional-grade tools and techniques, ensuring proper torque of rings and bases, lapping when necessary, to include a precision level. 2. Load Testing In this phase of service our LRT’s test various bullet types, weights, and brands to find the load/bullet that shoots best through your barrel. The importance of this phase cannot be overstated! Too often hunters force-feed a particular bullet into a gun based on nothing more than an article they read or the recommendation of a friend. But because every barrel is inherently different, they tolerate ammunition in their own individual way. Simply put, we don’t tell your gun what to shoot, we let your rifle tell us what it prefers. We work hard to find as accurate a load as possible for your system. Although most production rifles are marketed as 1 MOA shooters, we’ve had great success exceeding manufacturer’s specifications. Our end goal here is to maximize the ballistic performance of your system. 3. Data Collection Ballistic and environmental data is needed to create your custom yardage turret. To collect valid data, we shoot your rifle at short, medium and long ranges (generally 200, 500 and 1,000 yards). We collect ballistic data such as muzzle velocity, as chronographed by our LRT’s, and click value data. We also collect environmental data from the day we shoot your gun to include elevation, temperature, barometric pressure and humidity. 4. Custom Turret The data we collect is then entered into our proprietary ballistic program which perfects the data creating a custom drag model for your bullet. Our computer uses this as the basis for fine-tuning and laser etching your custom turret. Each turret we make is as unique as a fingerprint and specifically calibrated to your bullet’s distinctive performance characteristics. In the end, your individual rifle will be transformed into a comprehensive long-range shooting system that will enable you to repeatably harvest big game at extended ranges. Like a finely tuned machine, your long-range system will shoot with remarkable accuracy and be simple and easy to use in the moment of truth. Interested? Click the link below for a FREE Estimate. FREE ESTIMATE Hunter used his fathers Accurized 300 Win Mag to hammer this buck at over 800 yards! His dad is quoted as saying, “An accurate rifle topped with a Huskemaw scope is a killer combination!” We agree!

After watching my 70-year-old, father-in-law hit an 8-inch target at 650 yards on his first trigger pull with his Huskemaw I was sold." - Chuck N. "Today, my daughter and her boyfriend both killed theirs from a herd of 9 the same day within minutes of each other. I dialed the turret for a 430-yard shot and she dropped it. Then we had Logan, her boyfriend, sneak around us to the rifle and take another shot at 470yds! Impressed as hell guys. The fact that two novice hunters were able to take a shot like that was absolutely amazing. I had two kids ready to throw in the towel this morning at 3 am and two kids thrilled beyond belief by 8am. I'll be honest, brought a tear to my eye as a proud dad moment. Thanks for what you guys do! Appreciate you guys!!" - Denny Y. "Just got back from mule deer hunts in ND and CO. Took deer in both states, one at 350 yards and the other at 675 yards. Both were one-shot kills. The Huskemaw system is so easy to use and instills confidence in your long-range shooting. Had a lesson with Paul this summer, where he reinforced the techniques to be used in long-range shooting. I'm confident anybody can use this Huskemaw system to make them a better shot." - Paul A.
