Welcome To Barnard Precision

We build the world’s most precise rifle actions for shooters who believe only the best will do

Welcome to the Home of Barnard Precision

 

Our Company was established in 1993 to continue the production of the BARNARD P action designed by Peter Barnard – these actions are still a winning favorite of competitive long range shooters worldwide.

To continue that tradition of quality we now produce a range of P variants, a Remington style action and a P model target trigger designed by Malcolm Morrison, as well as a range of rifles designed by Steve Bartlett.

Actions, rifles and accessories for target shooters are our main areas of specialty expertise, plus we cater for those who specifically look for precision long range shooting advantages – if you are looking for highest quality & precision then Barnard is the word.

High quality manufacturing is what we do each and every day, which means we stand by all our products and provide a high level of support to our International Dealer network so that they can also deliver the best products and service available.

If you have any questions that are not covered in our actions, rifles and accessories pages or by our FAQ section then please contact us directly we are always happy to help.

The Barnard Team

Making great products requires a great team

If you live in NZ and have been shooting for a while, you will have likely heard of Barnard Precision. Not only are we New Zealand’s premium rifle action brand – our rifles seem to dominate the F-Class competition.

We believe that if a job is worth doing, it’s worth doing well which is why each or our actions has the bolt hand lapped to it matching reciever. In a world of built in obsolescence it is pleasing to see actions we made decades ago continue to perform at the highest levels.

Nothing leaves the factory unless we would be happy to use it ourselves.
