Welcome to Teppo Jutsu LLC,
home of the .458 SOCOM, .338 Spectre and others.
Teppo Jutsu refers to the "art of the rifle", a warrior art practiced in feudal Japan by the Samurai.
Contrary to popular belief, the Samurai did use firearms and as
with all their weapons arts, were quite the skilled
"riflemen". Similar to the other weapons employed,
for the Samurai this art encompassed all aspects of the rifle as a weapon: achieving accuracy, proper cleaning and maintenance, rifle and ammunition design and development, as well as using the rifle in Close Quarters Combat. This latter included such skills as weapons retention, striking with the rifle as a blunt weapon, and even the use of the bayonet (Juken
Jutsu).

|
In today's world, this art has found new following with several new warrior classes: the hunter, the bench-rest shooter, the law enforcement professional, and last but not least, the true descendant of the ancient "Teppo-ka", the
military sniper.
 |
While our main focus here at Teppo Jutsu is on the development of new cartridges for existing firearms platforms, we also offer some unique designs for expanding the operational envelope of well-established small arms. Our philosophy revolves around two main aspects: firepower and flexibility. Our ammunition designs are intended to offer the greatest amount of firepower feasible from standard weapons while increasing the types of applications for which they can be used. On the other hand, we feel that "caliber interchangeability" offers the greatest flexibility, and our weapons designs are specifically geared towards this concept.

Those of you who frequented our
"Comment Board" We now have a fully functional FORUM

spot for some more lighthearted discussion on things like
how to barbecue fish ...

NOTICE - .500
PHANTOM DISCONTINUED!!
 |
Due to
challenges in getting the brass, the .500 Phantom
will no longer be offered. We do, however, have the
reamer and head space gauges available for rental. If
we are able to secure a new brass supplier (or a LARGE batch
of brass from the current supplier) we will start offering
this caliber again. It's a shame, but we don't want
you left with a great rifle and nothing to shoot. |
