About

Blue Ridge Rifle is the brainchild of Managing Gunsmith, Ryan Garrett. 

Formally apprenticed as a jeweler as well as a fine furniture maker, Ryan learned early on the values of tolerancing, fine surface finish, and aesthetics.  Combining these skills with a mindset that is both artistic and engineering has enabled him to create pieces that are functional as well as beautiful.  This has translated into his work as a gunsmith, allowing him to produce visually pleasing firearms that fit each individual shooter, regardless of their dimensions.  As an avid hunter and self-defense advocate, he believes that firearms should never be the weak link in your toolkit. 

 When he isn’t building things or hunting, you can probably find him in the kitchen or astride a tractor on Blue Ridge Farm.
