New Nighthawk bolt action rifles: Tactical and Hunting

Nighthawk Custom have introduced two lines of high end semi-custom bolt action rifles.

The Nighthawk Tactical series is available with either their own hunting action, which includes a bolt-on picatinny rail, or a Surgeon action which has a picatinny rail machined into it. It is stocked with a Manners Composite Stock that can be finished in a Perma Kote color scheme of choice. The rifle can be chambered in .308, 7mm Remington Magnum, .300 Winchester and .338 Lapua.

The Nighthawk Hunter series is similar to the tactical series. The main differences are that it is only available in the Nighthawk action, it can be stocked with a HS Precision stock instead of a Manners Composite stock and can be chambered in a variety of hunting cartridges.

No prices are listed … in other words they are very expensive.

    I respect Nighthawk Customs. From what I’ve read their firearms are of high quality and their service is excellent. However, their choice to use HS Precision stocks may harm the sales of the new rifles. Many people have long memories and HS Precision’s choice to use Lon Horiuchi as a spokesperson damaged the brand. Damage that, considering HS Precision’s response, won’t soon be forgotten.

    Warren, I agree, the HS Precision saga is very unfortunate. Personally I would think twice before paying for an HS stock. And to think all it would take was an apology.

    Great looking rifles! I have got a Manners stock on my left hand Remington 700 chambered in 338 Lapua.

    Kevin, Have a read of this:

    Ultimately they stuffed up using somebody they should not have to endorse their products. They then *really* stuffed up by not admitting they made an error.

    I guess I wasn’t aware of the controversy surrounding HS Precision. Amazing.
