LMT, Les Baer, and Rock River Arms are both within that range. It's just over an hour at interstate speeds to Brownells.

Close but no cigar! Les Baer is 70 miles away and Brownell's is 60.

Barrett headquartered is 12 miles.

I have no idea where the guns are actually made however.


Endeavor to persevere.

There are probably more I don’t even know about but Ruger’s Prescott factory is about 15 minutes from my house. Almost everyone in town knows at least one person that works there

Barrett is right off 24 in middle Tennessee. They own Outpost Armory too

Sionics is here in town. I have purchased two rifles and a lot of ammo from them direct.

They primarily build for law enforcement agencies around the country.

Same here. Also had TrackingPoint only a few miles away from me until they got bought out by another company.

I've not heard of either one. Where are they? And what do they make?
