Krieger Barrels makes sharpshooters’ tools of the trade
Little things can become big problems when taking aim from more than 100 yards. A miniscule flaw – even one-thousandth
of an inch – inside a rifle barrel can determine the outcome of a marksman tournament, a big-game hunt or a shooting by a military sniper.
Richfield-based Krieger Barrels Inc., a manufacturer of after-market barrels used in target shooting, by military and police snipers and by big-game hunters, specializes in avoiding those problems.
During the manufacturing process, each Krieger barrel requires several hundred passes for boring and rifling, with each pass removing .0001-inch of material at a time. Krieger Barrel makes its high-precision rifle barrels from 17-caliber to four bore (also known as an elephant gun).
“Most of them are for competitive shooting, police and military snipers,” said John Krieger, president and founder of the company. “They’re also used in the high-grade sporting market, for someone who is highly knowledgeable about guns and shooting. (Our customers) are usually builders themselves who would be building a rifle for someone.”
