Founded in 2021 in Greenville, Texas, Outlier manufactures match-grade barrels and precision rifle chassis using primarily U.S.-sourced materials. The company operates as a component manufacturer rather than a gunsmith shop, producing stainless barrels through a drill, ream, hone, button-rifle, and lap process completed in-house.
Outlier’s products are built for shooters assembling precision rifles for PRS-style competition, long-range target work, and precision hunting, with leadership tied to Arken Optics, the brand positions itself within the performance-driven segment of the modern bolt-gun ecosystem. It does not offer chambering, rebarreling, or custom rifle builds; its focus is on manufacturing parts, not performing gunsmith services.
