Concept & Inspiration
There’s something quietly poetic about a rifle that pairs walnut with war-readiness. That’s the heart of this build. We weren’t just after performance—we wanted presence.
Built on the skeleton of the Wilson Combat Tactical Hunter chambered in 300 HAM'R, this project takes a modern brush gun and dresses it with WOOX’s Vigilante furniture —a walnut-clad workhorse designed for durability and visual gravitas.
Whether you’re pushing through deep country or posted up for a clean shot at 300 yards, this rifle becomes an extension of the shooter: strong, refined, and ready.

Tech Insight: 300 HAM'R is a cartridge designed by Bill Wilson to deliver superior terminal performance over .300 Blackout, with flatter trajectory and increased velocity—perfect for hunting medium game or defense applications.
Field Feel & Performance
Shooting the 300 HAM'R in this configuration feels controlled, deliberate. The WOOX Vigilante furniture provides a firm, ergonomic grip with natural balance. It doesn’t just feel like an AR—it feels like a custom sporting rifle built for the mountains.
The Swampfox Warhawk glass delivers clear sight pictures across its magnification range. Whether dialing in for precision or scanning terrain, it keeps your view crisp and composed.
Recoil is manageable, the cycling is clean, and the rifle settles into position easily—especially when mounted on a tripod or supported over terrain.
This WOOX Vigilante x Wilson Combat Tactical Hunter build isn’t a rifle—it’s a declaration. Of precision. Of beauty. Of purpose.
For those looking to step away from the sea of plastic and into something more timeless, this build proves that wood and warfighter tech don’t have to live on opposite ends of the spectrum. They can meet in the middle—and create something legendary.
