Built by a Shooter, for Shooters

Preece Precision was founded on a simple principle: if you want a rifle that performs under pressure, it should be built by someone who competes under that same pressure.

Our Story

Machining was Garret Preece’s first career, not gunsmithing. While working as a service engineer installing and maintaining large CNC equipment, he started shooting precision rifles and quickly realized he wanted to build them himself. He began learning in the afternoons at ES-Tactical in Ogden, studying alongside experienced gunsmiths and developing his own repeatable process for building rifles that stack bullets on top of each other.

In late 2017, Garret invested in a lathe and started the process of obtaining an FFL. What started as a garage operation grew fast. By early 2019, Preece Precision had moved into its own brick-and-mortar facility in Ogden, Utah, and Garret left his day job to build rifles full time.

Today, Garret specializes in purpose-built PRS competition rifles and lightweight hunting rifles, with 140+ PRS matches under his own belt, including a 2022 Regional Series win. Every rifle that leaves the shop reflects that same competitive standard.

MASTER GUNSMITH

GARRET PREECE

I specialize in building light weight hunting rifles and PRS rifles.

In the PRS and NRL world my rifles have won some of the most prestigious matches and consistently finish in the top.

I take pride in building purpose-built rifles that shoot like bench-rest rifles. If you are interested in building a rifle, give us a call and let’s get it started!
