What sets a Jarrett rifle apart isn’t just how it’s built—it’s how it’s finished. After the mechanical work is done, each rifle undergoes a detailed tuning process that aligns every element of performance. This includes extensive test-firing, during which we evaluate how the rifle behaves under live conditions. We’re not just looking at group size—we’re analyzing shot dispersion, point-of-impact stability, and consistency over cold and warm barrels. If something’s off, adjustments are made: bedding is refined, torque settings are revisited, or in some cases, the load is reworked.

Load development is a major part of this process. Rather than relying on off-the-shelf factory ammunition, we handload cartridges tailored to the specific barrel and chamber. Bullet type, seating depth, powder charge, and primer are all adjusted to find the optimal combination. This isn’t done by software or simulation—it’s hands-on work, guided by data and experience. The result is a rifle that doesn’t just shoot well—it shoots the way it’s meant to, with a load that complements its natural harmonics. This level of fine-tuning takes time, but it’s what allows the rifle to maintain accuracy across varying conditions and distances.

In the end, the tuning process is about more than performance—it’s about predictability. The rifles are built to be used in real-world environments where variables can’t be controlled. By tuning each rifle to its final form before it leaves our shop, we try to eliminate as many unknowns as possible, giving the shooter a tool they can rely on without second-guessing.
