R&D for most companies is seen as a secretive, behind-closed-doors process involving dark rooms, sweaty engineers, piles of instrumentation and discarded parts and a healthy dose of mad scientistry. But for Gunwerks, it’s a way of life!
Gunwerks recently launched a new program producing quarterly, limited-run rifle builds dreamed up and engineered by it’s own engineers and team members to solve specific problems. But rather than hiding the results, they’ve opened it up for the world to see!
The first Installment of the SkunkWerks series is the FireStarter, a competition-specific chassis rifle build chambered in 6mm Creedmoor ideal for PRS or NRL Style rifle matches. The FireStarter comes with EVERYTHING a person needs to jump into competitive shooting.
The Firestarter is the brainchild of Gunwerks Engineer, Rex Ribelin, who assembled his rifle the day before a competition, shot and gathered data on his rifle that night, and took 4th place in a field of 60 shooters the following day.
“The FireStarter is a competition-ready precision rifle package that includes the whole kit and kaboodle needed to start shooting matches,” said Ribelin. “Yep, it’s got everything you need to get your feet wet, all in one, totally awesome package. It might not have everything, but it’s got enough. It is a package that won’t break the bank. It’ll allow you to ‘dabble’ in the competition scene and provide the biggest bang for your hard-earned buck.”
The FireStarter and upcoming Skunkwerks projects are extremely limited runs available for short periods of time. Offerings can be seen and ordered online at www.gunwerks.com/skunkwerks or directly over the phone by calling (307) 296-7301.
