Nor-Cal Precision
Testimonials & Accolades
Mike Miller of Tactical Intervention Specialists: "As impressive as one half-minute groups at six hundred yards are, keep in mind that that the rifle had no vertical stringing. The only stringing was from left to right and that in my humble opinion was caused by the wind. That is a very significant test of the quality of the rifle and the ammunition. To say I was impressed is an understatement." [Click here to read the entire note.]
Police Sergeant Michael Tkac: "The meticulous work put into this weapon by Jerry shows up in its extreme consistency and the smooth operating. After months of fighting off my partner for the use of the rifle, we went to see the brass. We have purchased several of these rifles and the Nor-Cal Precision rifle are the only sniper rifles my SWAT team uses. I would, and have, recommend Nor-Cal for any police sniper. You will not be disappointed. I'll bet my life on it and I am supremely confident it will do every sniper precision shot that I need it to." [Click here to read the entire note.]
Darren Dong: "...if you have the money or budgeting, looking for a good and respected rifle builder/craftsman, and don't want to break the bank, then look no further for Jerry Rice is the man for you. I am happy with my rifle, it shoots better then I can ever shoot and it looks great. Am I a happy client, heck yes I am - need I say more." [Click here to read the entire note.]
Dennis Queen: "[My Nor-Cal Precision Rifle] performs better at Long Range than it does at 100 yds. I have surprised myself w/ 600 yd ½ moa groups at the two matches I have shot with it. I sometimes call it my "Laser Rifle". Jerry's workmanship is simply superb. He is open to questions and tells you what he knows works. Value for the dollar is outstanding and his wait time is minimal compared to some of the other top name builders. This retired jarhead gives Nor-Cal Precision an "Outstanding" fitness report in all categories. [Click here to read the entire note.]
Charles & Jennifer of MemorablePlaces: "[We] very strongly suggest that if you are looking for the very best accuracy in a Remington rifle, from a guy that truly knows his stuff and is friendly to boot, you simply MUST consider Nor-Cal Precision.... Jerry Rice is a true craftsman, knows his stuff, and builds rifles to stand the test of time, and does so with pinpoint accuracy." [Click here to read the entire note.]
Jeff Cole: "I'm from northwest Ohio and have shot a few groundhogs over the years at ranges out to around 350 yards with a 22-250 factory rifle, however, I've always wanted to go out west and try at the long ranges that just aren't Possible in my area. I knew that if I wanted to have a good chance at the 1000 yard club I would need a new rifle... I wanted the best varmint rifle at any cost... and what I got in my opinion was just that, PLUS the knowledge to actually use it. I recommend Jerry Rice without hesitation to anyone, period. " [Click here to read the entire note.]
Ric Horst of Rand Creek Ranch And Guest Lodge: "...I would have no problem rambling on about how professional, sincere, courteous, honest and down right friendly Jerry is. He is good to his word and builds not only a rifle but a work of art. Oh, I forgot to mention I am working on some specs for the next rifle I am going to ask him to build for me. I can honestly say that I would recommend his services to anyone wanting a custom rifle. I have told him several time to feel free to use me as a reference. " [Click here to read the entire note.]
Kevin Boland: "The gun has been banged, dropped, crawled (with, on, and over) I have shot it in Ft. Lewis on the K.D. and UNK D Ranges, and in different provinces across Canada. I can and do recommend Jerry Rice – Nor Cal Precision to any and all Remington 700 users. Not only does he built a great gun but he follows up on his work – and ensures the customer is satisfied."

Carl Wassersleben: "The service I received was unsurpassed and the rifle turned out beautifully. All the work was completed in a very timely fashion, I have had no problems with the rifle at all, the performance is outstanding, the machine work is beautiful. ... I will continue to use Nor-Cal percussion for my gunsmithing needs and will value Jerry Rice's opinions when it comes to VERY accurate rifles" [Click here to read the entire note.]
Bill Warner Glendale Arizona: "Recoil is surprisingly mild, no doubt due to a combination of the well fitting stock, recoil pad I specified, and weight of the rifle. I have had it out about 6 times now and as a handloader I have been casually working on a load it prefers. [...] The neat thing is that nearly any load shoots well. This rifle looks good, shoots superb, and even cleans up easily. I'm totally satisfied." [Click here to read the entire note.]
Robert Pierce
I am very pleased that I chose Jerry for a gunsmith. His work is great. He's the friendliest guy in the state of California too. I strongly recommend Jerry to anyone looking for not only a very fine firearm, but also a smith who loves to work with his clients. He is truly a pleasure to deal with. [Click here to read the entire note.]JP, Mission Viejo, Kalifornia "If you want an excuse when you shoot poorly, don't buy a Jerry Rice rifle. The rifle will always shoot better than you do. I bought a Hunter and Nighthawk from him. Jerry is dependable, honest, and a real gentleman. Everything happened as he explained it would. The Hunter is the best rifle I own."
Jeremy Dombroski Austin, TX: "Hi, Jerry Rice asked me to let you know my thoughts on the new rifle he built for me now that I've had it for a few months. All I can say is Jerry builds one helluva fine rifle. The craftsmanship is top notch and the accuracy is superb. >From sandbags I was shooting 1/2 moa with 2 different brands of factory match ammo. Early handload results are at 3/8 to 1/2 moa, and I expect that to hold steady or improve as I tweak the load. Jerry has been extremely helpful with feedback and support since I recieved the rifle and I have zero complaints. Can't wait to order another one...."
Ed Eckhoff Woodland, CA: "I'm writing to let you know that I am very pleased with the rifle you built for me. The workmanship is superb and I'm really pleased with a number of feature that you incorporated into this piece. For instance, the Rugar bolt stop is an excellent addition. It's much more accessible and easier to use then the standard Remington design. Also, I like the finish work on the barrel. I must say that your services are very much appreciated. Aside from the excellent workmanship you somehow manage to do it all in a very timely fashion. I have several acquaintances who have had rifles built by you and it was on their advise that I went to you in this instance. Thanks for a nice piece of work. Oh yeah, I suppose you are wondering how this rifle shoots. So far it's printing in the .1s/ .2s and I'm still working on load development. Thanks again."
