We all know it IS possible to build a 450hp Honda Civic, but that takes time, money, and knowledge. Sometimes you don’t want to, don’t know how to, or aren’t patient enough to go through all of that. Sometimes you’ve worked hard, saved your money and know what you want. That pinnacle Audi S7 has loads of power, performance, and luxury. Meet the Audi S7 in rifle form, the Roughneck 10. It’s not the rifle you need, nor the one you buy on a whim, but it may be the one you never need or want to modify and will certainly flaunt.
Just like the Audi S7, the Roughneck 10 delivers more than enough power for most users. The venerable .308 Winchester round spits from a hand-lapped stainless Lilja barrel that begins at Roughneck as a blank and is matched to the specific bolt your rifle arrives with. It may not have leather seating, but the Roughneck 10 does have hand-matched and fitted receivers and hand-reamed and finished takedown and pivot pin holes. Not even Audi can claim that level of personal attention in the build of their automobiles.
We’ll post the rest of the build specs below because you won’t find them on the Roughneck Website. Part of why those specs aren’t readily available is because these rifles truly are custom. They are built when ordered as ordered. Continuing our parallel to the Audi S7, this might just be more than the equivalent in rifle form. We’ll head out to the range with some high-octane ammunition and find out.
