The King Hunter: Geissele's First Bolt-Action Precision Rifle

The Geissele King Hunter: A New Breed Of Bolt-Action Rifles From Geissele

Geissele's brand-new King Hunter bolt-action rifle generated a lot of buzz at SHOT Show 2025. Built using proprietary machinery designed from the ground up by Geissele's engineers, every component found in the King Hunter is optimized for precision shooting.

And with accuracy at the forefront, each King Hunter rifle has a smooth bolt throw and a crisp two-stage trigger pull to ensure each round goes exactly where it is supposed to.

First Impressions

The King Hunter is everything we've come to expect from Geissele; each and every part has been carefully chosen for maximum precision and shootability, right down to the Manners LRH stock and Swavvy QD muzzle brake. Just from looking at this rifle and handling it on the show floor, it's apparent that the team at Geissele designed this bolt gun with input from experienced long-range shooters.

With that said, it comes as no surprise that the Geissele King Hunter was awarded Best In Show this year. We're planning to feature the King Hunter as the high-end option in our upcoming bolt gun series so you can see this incredible rifle in action, but in the meantime, you can learn more about the Geissele King Hunter by watching our interview from SHOT Show 2025.
