When UFC veteran and backcountry hunter Chad Mendes picked up his brand-new AllTerra-X precision hunting rifle, he knew he was getting something special. What he didn’t expect was a scope kiss on his very first shot—a direct result of the rifle’s power paired with instant, dead-on accuracy.
That first shot at 490 yards? Center hit.
That kick to the face? A reminder— watch your form when settling in behind a 300 PRC for an uphill shot.
From the scope kiss to the 1,175-yard impact, this is the field proof that AllTerra rifles don’t just perform on paper—they thrive in real world conditions.
Every part of Chad’s rifle was chosen for purpose, performance, and ultimate field functionality. Purpose-built for long-range hunting in rugged terrain, balancing mobility, power, and precision.
Chad’s field test wasn’t staged. It was raw and real: AllTerra had already taken care of the barrel break-in, scope zero, ballistics data collection, and ammo production. When Chad got behind it for the very first time, here’s what happened:
“This thing is a shooter…” – Chad Mendes
AllTerra rifles aren’t assembled—they’re precision-engineered systems designed to deliver flawless function and elite-level rifle accuracy in any environment.
Together, this system guarantees sub-½ MOA groups and gives shooters real confidence at any range.
During the field test, Chad pointed out how naturally the rifle fit him—even though it was his first time behind it:
“Everything just fits… I’m not stretched out trying to reach for anything. It just feels right.”
That’s the product of elite craftsmanship, optimized stock ergonomics, and a rifle that balances recoil, weight, and control—exactly how a premium precision hunting rifle should.
Most new rifles require the new owner a numerous bench sessions, ammo testing, and hours of trial-and-error. Chad’s didn’t. With AllTerra’s standard testing process and S2-1000 ballistics service, the AllTerra-X delivered shot after shot of repeatable long-range accuracy right out of the box.
It’s what we build into every rifle—and it’s what our customers rely on when the shot of a lifetime presents itself.
Whether you’re planning a high-country elk hunt or dialing steel at 1,200 yards, AllTerra builds rifles that deliver guaranteed performance from shot one
