American Hunting Rifles, Inc. was founded in 1998 by Ed Plummer in
Hamilton, Montana. AHR was first known for introducing the Howell
line of big game cartridges, which were designed by well known
firearms writer Ken Howell. AHR then
introduced a world class big game rifle to utilize the new and
exciting cartridges. Notable rifle experts such as Wayne Van Zwoll
and Master stock-maker Jerry Fisher contributed to the design of the
new rifle.
AHR then began
development of truly big bore cartridges such as the 500 AHR, 585 AHR , and 600 Overkill.
The 600 OK which was designed by Rob Garnick, has become the leader
in ultra big bore stopping power. In AHR’s rifles it has taken
dangerous game around the world from Africa to Alaska. AHR’s
dangerous game rifles are built to properly manage the power that
these cartridges produce while also providing the balance, beauty,
and function of the world’s finest hunting rifles.
In the fall of 2007, Wayne Jacobson
purchased American Hunting Rifles. Wayne has closely worked with Ed
as head of design and production for AHR. Along with this
transition, comes the introduction of the newest and biggest in
AHR’s line of cartridges, the 700 AHR. This brute was designed by Ed
and Wayne to become the “ King “ of the big bore bolt-action
rifles. This rifle is built on a custom action made for AHR by
Granite Mountain Arms. It is truly a union of beauty, function, and
power.
Wayne
Jacobson and the current team of fine craftsmen will
continue to build and service your rifles. AHR will continue the
tradition of quality, service, and innovation that our customers
have come to expect and enjoy.
