The Foundation: As a lifelong outdoorsman with over 3 decades spent tracking whitetail through the Wisconsin timber and a decade chasing elk across the rugged peaks of Colorado, Michael understands a truth that many rifle builders overlook: A rifle is more than a piece of equipment. It is a system of trust. It has to perform when the air is thin, the hike is long, and the window of opportunity is seconds wide.
The Evolution: From Hobby to Obsession What started as a personal quest to squeeze every ounce of performance out of the legendary Remington 700 platform soon turned into a decade-long mission of gunsmithing. Michael didn’t just want a rifle that shot well; he wanted one that was Trusted, Reliable, and Repeatable.
He spent years obsessing over the “best of the best” components—blueprinting actions, selecting match-grade barrels, and perfecting triggers. Word traveled fast. What was once a dedicated hobby in a shop has now evolved into R7 Custom: a premier destination for hunters and shooters who demand a high-performance rifle without the “custom-label” markup.
The R7 Philosophy: Your Vision, Our Expertise At R7 Custom, we don’t believe in “one size fits all.” We specialize in the Remington 700 platform because of its unmatched versatility and proven track record. Our process is a partnership. We bring the technical expertise to hand-pick the finest components on the market, but we leave the seat at the table for you. Whether you’re looking for a lightweight mountain rifle for the Rockies or a precision hammer for the Midwest woods, we guide you through the selection process to ensure the final build fits your specific needs.
The R7 Promise: Field-Proven Performance We aren’t building “safe queens.” We build rifle systems designed for the field. Every R7 Custom rifle is a testament to quality workmanship, born from decades of hunting experience and a relentless commitment to affordability. We are bringing a new standard of custom quality to the market—rifles that are built by a hunter, for the hunter.
R7 Customs is dedicated to delivering durable, accurate, and ergonomic hunting systems at an attainable price point. Our goal is to bridge the gap between mass-produced, one size fits all rifles and high priced, fully custom builds.
To bridge the gap between elite benchrest accuracy and rugged field reliability. Our goal is to set a new standard in the firearms industry by proving that world-class components, personalized craftsmanship, and sub-MOA precision don't have to be out of reach for the working hunter.
