Coming in 2026, Manson Precision Reamers is joining forces with the Precision Rifle Series as the Official Chamber Reamer and Headspace Gauge of PRS. This partnership marks a major moment for our team, our tools, and the precision shooting community that has trusted Manson for more than thirty years.

For competitive shooters, builders, and gunsmiths the PRS season is the toughest proving ground in the sport. Match pressure exposes every flaw in a rifle. A competitor can only perform at the highest level when they know their chamber has been cut with true precision and when their headspace is consistent and safe. That is why PRS selected Manson tools as their preferred standard for chambering work across the discipline.

Trusted by the Shooters Who Set the Bar

This partnership did not happen overnight. It grew from the trust that top shooters already place in Manson tools. One of the strongest voices in that group is Chad Heckler of 5X5 Precision. Chad is known across the sport for his attention to detail and his commitment to building rifles that perform at the highest level. Chad has used Manson reamers and gauges for years because he knows they produce consistent chambers that hold up under real match pressure.

Chad introduced us to the PRS leadership team because he believed the sport would benefit from a stronger link between competitors, builders, and the tooling they rely on. We are grateful for the connection and we are proud to see our tools trusted by shooters like Chad who demand true repeatability from their equipment.

Why PRS Chose Manson

When asked why they chose Manson Reamers, both schools pointed to the same core values — quality, consistency, and reputation.

PRS competitors come from every corner of the precision rifle world. They shoot in challenging weather, unpredictable terrain, and constantly changing conditions. Any inconsistency in chamber geometry affects reliability, brass life, and the accuracy needed to stay competitive.

Manson tools are built to solve these challenges. Every reamer and gauge is produced with a focus on clean surfaces, correct geometry, and long term repeatability. Our tools are used by builders who chamber rifles for the best shooters in the country. They are also used by gunsmiths who want to give everyday shooters the same level of precision enjoyed by national competitors.

PRS selected Manson because our tools deliver a true fit every time. That consistency is the backbone of match grade performance.

What This Partnership Means for 2026 and Beyond

As the Official Chamber Reamer and Headspace Gauge of PRS, Manson Precision Reamers will support the sport at every level during the 2026 season. This includes
• Providing the tooling needed for chambering and headspace verification
• Supporting the builders and gunsmiths who keep competitors match ready
• Working with PRS shooters to highlight chambering best practices and performance insights

Our goal is to strengthen the connection between precision tooling and the accuracy that defines the sport. We take pride in knowing that the rifles showing up on the line in 2026 will be supported by the same commitment to quality that has driven Manson since day one.

A Shared Commitment to Precision

The PRS community is built on discipline, skill, and pride in craftsmanship. These values mirror everything we strive for in our shop. This partnership allows us to support the sport that has supported us for decades and gives us an opportunity to elevate the level of consistency and performance across the entire field.

We are excited for the season ahead and grateful to shooters like Chad Heckler who push the industry forward. Their trust is the reason we continue to refine and improve our tools.

The 2026 PRS season is coming. We are ready to support it with the same precision and commitment that built our reputation.
