CLIENT NOTES

INSIGHTS FROM THE OWNER

“My group of friends and I have been lucky enough to go on hunting trips in Africa for the last few years. After our first one, I quickly I felt like I wanted a rifle that was my first choice for these trips—one I could rely on every time, and had the best accuracy money could buy. Especially for the higher calibers that are needed out there. 

A friend introduced me to Jarrett Rifles, and they built me the .416 Remington custom rifle that I’ve relied on for the last two trips and not only does it fit me perfectly, it is by far the most accurate large caliber rifle I’ve ever brought into the field. It gives me the confidence I need to take the biggest shots! Since that one was built I’ve had two different rifles made to fulfill other game types and conditions.”

“IN THE EARLY 1980s, THIS SELF TAUGHT SOUTH CAROLINA GUN BUILDER DECREED THAT EVERYTHING THAT CAME OUT OF HIS SHOP WOULD SHOOT A MINUTE OF ANGLE OR BETTER. HE WAS AS GOOD AS HIS WORD.”
