In the world of long-range precision shooting and hunting, Gunwerks is a household name. Their product lineup includes five-figure-priced setups like the HamR, which they boast possesses two-mile hit capability out of the box, and the lightweight ClymR intended for trekking on foot during mountain hunting. Now they’ve added a new model of rifle system, meant to provide shooters with top-tier Gunwerks precision performance at a more wallet-friendly price point than their other products. Meet the new Werkman rifle system.

One of the main reasons this gun costs less than Gunwerks’ other options is that their Revic Werkman 5-25x scope is included in the price, rather than an add-on.
At just $4950 with the included Revic Werkman RS25 scope, this new system saves thousands of dollars compared to Gunwerks’ other offerings. It’s also much simpler to purchase with only left- or right-handedness to choose from, rather than a full configuration menu. What do you think, readers? Does this Gunwerks accessibility make the Werkman appealing? Do you have a use case for this 6.5 PRC option – how would you use it? Is there a more cost-effective rifle you think would stand up well to this gun? Do you have any experience with Gunwerks’ other rifles, and what did you think? Let us know in the comments!
