About three months ago, an idea was conceived: build the ultimate Sheep Rifle. Jason Hairston of KUIU Ultralight Hunting was the SME for the Remington Custom Shop rifle build and the driving force behind its purpose. Hairston isn’t just some dude who stumbled into this industry by happenstance; hunting was life for Hairston’s family.
