Roedale History

For 5 years Roedale Precision Rifles built only Bespoke Custom Rifles. Each and every rifle was an absolute one of a kind. Exacting accuracy and highest Quality, built to the specifications of each and every customer individualy. Roedale Precision offered customers the possibility to have a Bespoke rifle built to thier own specifications on thier own choice of parts. Unfortunately this was a mission that proved to be not as simple as it first sounds. Ever increasingly stringent US Export regulations made the procurement of USA manufactured parts very difficult. Availability and punctuality suffered as a result. At one point we had a choice of over 750 stock options, 5 or 6 Action Manufacturers, 7 Barrel Manufacturers plus the Accessorie Manufacturers. This meant that a customer had a choice of over 25.000 different options.
Fantastic choice + Great Idea = Logistical Nightmare. We saw problems due to certain suppliers making promises of quality and time that they couldn't deliver. Export issues also played an annoying role.Retailers and Customers all suffer from the well know general apathy within the Firearms Industry it took us a while to sort the wheat from the chaff when it came to reliable partners. We had to do some backside kicking and a fair amount of shouting into the process, but towards the end of 2010 a definate direction was apparent.

2011: Further steps taken in independancy from foriegn suppliers, production of major components concentrated on EU suppliers and foriegn supply concentrated on a selection of absolutely dependable sources.
