Stratton Custom Rifles (SCR) is a high-end, Colorado-based rifle builder specializing in custom bolt-action systems for long-range hunters, PRS/NRL competitors, and precision-minded professionals. As a custom shop, not a production line, SCR handles every build with individualized attention from start to finish.
Each rifle is built with an uncompromising focus on precision, harmonics, and component fit, ensuring consistent, repeatable accuracy under real-world conditions.
Core Capabilities:
- Action Tuning & Blueprinting – Bolt actions are fully disassembled, timed, and mirror-polished to reduce binding, increase ignition energy, and deliver the smoothest cycling possible.
- Precision Chambering – Barrels are dialed to dead-zero in the lathe using direct-read bore indicators for perfectly aligned, tight-tolerance chambers.
- Stress-Free Bedding – Custom bedding jobs with pillar fitting, epoxy tested for shrinkage and durability, and verified with indicators for stress-free contact.
- Component Integration – Fit and finish work includes stock blending (bolt handles, tangs, bottom metal), with premium Cerakote options applied by Primal Finish.
- Pre-Fit Barrels – Available for select custom actions, machined to the exact tolerances as complete builds for returning customers.
