EP 583: A Mountain Hunter’s Dream Rifle with Alpine Riflecraft

Mike Drury was originally on the show roughly 18 months ago, shortly after he founded Alpine Riflecraft and began building the kind of rifles he wanted to take into the mountains but couldn’t find in any of the production models currently available. 

Starting at just 4.5 pounds, these rifles are truly a mountain hunter’s dream. They combine excellent balance and ergonomics in a package that seamlessly blends both modern and traditional features. If Jack O’Connor were to take a rifle into the mountains in 2025, he’d probably be carrying a Zenith. 

Since his original appearance on BTK, he’s expanded the available calibers, navigated cross border sales and shipping, and has numerous field reports from successful customers. There is no question that if you’re a serious mountain hunter, these rifles should be on your radar.
