The Yorktown Rifle

Since its introduction in 1985, the Yorktown Rifle has set the standard for high quality and authenticity at an affordable price. It’s comfortable styling and good balance have made it a go-to option for decades, with a reputation of being both easy to carry and enjoyable to shoot. It continues to be a popular choice for competition shooters, re-enactors, and serious hunters alike.

The Yorktown Rifle is based on the original work of York County, Pennsylvania gunsmiths who were working during the 1760-1780 time period. We are still using the iconic hardware that the Yorktown rifle was originally built with, designed by John Bivins for the 1976 bicentenial rifles.
