THE MZ
RIFLE SYSTEM
Future of Black Powder
The MZ is a lightweight package for those grueling muzzleloader hunts, whether it's late season in the high country or the sage brush expanse. Extend your range and your season with an ultra-accurate muzzleloader that's compatible with both optics and the Revic Exo Sight.
CRAFTED FOR PERFORMANCE
Industry inspiring quality and features that delivers results.
Restricted Season Sovereign
In the domains of primitive weapon seasons, where legal edicts restrict hunters to time honored tools amid autumn's crisp veil, the Gunwerks MZ series emerges as your edge. Set in the familiar Magnus stock with .45 or .50 caliber bores for compliant yet commanding pursuits. This muzzleloader navigates regulations with grace. Allowing ethical harvests in zones, blending tradition's spirit with the Gunwerks' accuracy promise. The MZ rewrites restrictions into realms of opportunity through a cloud of smoke, turning mandated simplicity into strategic supremacy.
Extended Reach
Forged for the expansive vistas where quarry grazes beyond the bow's arc, stretching ethical shots past 500 yards. The MZ pairs seamlessly with the Revic EXO sight, bolstered by a ballistic data ring and laser-etched turret for dialed-in trajectories, or standard scopes where laws allow. Its free-floated barrel channels black powder's haze into laser-like accuracy. The MZ series defies muzzleloader myths, etching impacts at distances where every load becomes a bridge to success in the field.
Fieldcraft Engineered
Engineered for the fluid cadence of the hunt, where reloads demand swift efficiency, the MZ integrates a ram rod seamlessly into the stock for instinctive access without fumbling pauses. Its hinge floor plate compartment discreetly stows two primed cases and an extra bullet, safeguarding essentials against the elements while maintaining a sleek profile that vanishes into your gear. This thoughtful ingenuity transforms the muzzleloader from relic to refined companion, ensuring every step in restricted hunting environments flow with preparedness.

Features and Specifications
Each Gunwerks rifle undergoes a comprehensive validation process that includes barrel break-in, precision evaluation, creation of a custom ballistic profile using advanced lab equipment, and installation of a laser-marked custom turret. The rifle is zeroed at 100 yards, and delivered ready for fine-tuning by the shooter—ensuring unmatched accuracy and turnkey performance right out of the box.
Range Validation Options
Standard Accuracy Validation
$1275 Cost
Gunwerks' Standard Accuracy Validation process establishes the mechanical foundation of every rifle by confirming the accuracy and consistency of the barrel, action, optics interface, and ammunition, including a custom engraved ballistic turret and zeroed rifle. Conducted in a controlled indoor shooting tunnel at 100 yards with zero wind and stable conditions, it uses the Oehler Ballistic Laboratory to capture velocity and consistency data. Trained personnel fire the rifle from a fixed position, recording multiple-shot groups to evaluate repeatability and dispersion, while documenting muzzle velocity, extreme spread (ES), and standard deviation (SD) for each rifle. This delivers verified 100-yard accuracy confirmation, archived muzzle velocity data, and baseline inputs for ballistic modeling, ensuring every rifle leaves the facility mechanically proven with a repeatable, environmentally uninfluenced foundation for distance-based performance verification.
Range-Verified Performance & Custom Ballistic Profiling
+ $500
Gunwerks' Range-Verified Validation confirms that each rifle performs as intended beyond controlled conditions, bridging laboratory precision to real-world application by validating actual trajectory and impact behavior at distance. Conducted at an outdoor, distance-capable range by a trained shooting technician, it records live environmental conditions including temperature, pressure, density altitude, and wind. The rifle is zeroed and verified prior to firing shots at multiple known distances, using observed impacts to true ballistic solutions and refine rifle-specific velocity curves and parameters. This delivers distance-verified performance confirmation, a custom ballistic profile unique to the individual rifle, and validated elevation and wind data for known distances, ensuring predictable performance in real conditions, reducing uncertainty, and increasing confidence for first-round impacts at extended ranges.
