The Faxon Gunner Profile
Faxon Firearms engineered the Gunner profile as a thoughtful compromise between two proven designs: the durability of the Government profile and the lightweight maneuverability of the Pencil profile. This balance shifts the rifle's weight toward the shooter's body, reducing fatigue during extended shooting sessions and making the rifle more responsive in the field.
Built for Precision and Reliability
Every Faxon barrel begins with premium materials—either certified 4150 Mil-Spec steel or 416-R stainless—and is manufactured in-house in Cincinnati, Ohio. The manufacturing process includes:
- Full stress relief to eliminate internal tensions
- Air-gauge testing for dimensional consistency
- 11-degree target crown for superior accuracy
- Nitride finishing for corrosion resistance and durability
- Individual headspace verification using precision PTG gauges
