The History of HS Precision

The history of the HS Precision brand began in 1978. After working in the chemical industry in New York, Tom Houghton Sr. transitioned to the weapons sector. Together with his wife, they founded HS Precision as a small family business. Initially, the business was located in Arizona, but it relocated to Rapid City in the 1990s.

Historically, Tom Sr. was recognized for his innovative idea of integrating an aluminum bedding block into a fully synthetic rifle stock, which marked an important shift in firearm stock design globally. As the first company to do such a thing, HS quickly gained government contracts and has partnered with numerous renowned brands such as Savage and Remington. Soon after, they started with the production of their own rifles as well, although they never converted fully to mass production. They introduced models such as SPL, PLC, PHR, STR and PRO-Series, offering two action lengths.

Even today, the HS Precision uses their Pro-Series stainless steel action, an aluminum bedding block composite stock, a fully adjustable trigger, a stainless steel 10-x cut rifled barrel, and their own detachable magazine feeding system in all of their rifles. Ever since they first started production, the company has engineered and also manufactured every component in their factory which is located in the USA. Since moving to South Dakota, they've increased the size of their production facilities by nearly five times. As of 2023, the company is led by Tom’s son Tim Houghton, daughter Tricia and Tom’s wife Vivian. Along with stocks, premium rifles and barrel blanks, they also offer ballistic test equipment, detachable magazines and various accessories on their website.

HS Precision SA Rifle Review

HS Precision, headquartered in South Dakota, manufactures an array of rifles, both in long action (LA) and short action (SA) configurations. This review, however, focuses on their SA versions. If you are looking for scope mounts to fit on the long action (LA) model of HS Precision, you can see our available offer here.

Central to the design of their rifles is the Remington 700-style action which they manufacture in-house. Their rifles are equipped with a Pro-Series stainless steel action and an aluminum bedding block composite stock. They come with a fully adjustable trigger, a stainless steel 10-x cut rifled barrel, and a detachable magazine feeding system—all components being produced at their South Dakota facility. The Remington-style actions allow for the scope mounts on HS Precision's SA models to be interchangeable, thanks to matching hole spacings on the receiver. The bolt design incorporates two large forward locking lugs, ensuring a secure lock-up with the action housing.

When it comes to safety and operability, the conventional safety lever, located on the rear end of the receiver, prevents unintended discharges. For bolt removal, the process involves pulling the bolt handle up and rearward, then engaging the bolt stop release. The magazine is easily removable via a lever on the trigger guard's front end. Standard options are 3- or 5-round magazines with extension magazines and conversion kits available.
