Rifle sits where the Colorado River squeezes between the Grand Hogback and the Roan cliffs, a town that has always worked for a living, from the cattle drives that named it to the gas fields that filled it. Rifle Falls and Rifle Gap are up the creek; the jobs are along the river and up every side road toward Silt, New Castle and Parachute. We’re an hour down I-70 in Grand Junction with the yard that backs those jobs.
Reserve it by phone at (970) 241-4368 and it is hooked to your truck before you’ve finished the paperwork.
A lot of Rifle still heats with wood, and the cottonwoods and piñon come down every fall. The hydraulic log splitter turns a truckload of rounds into a winter’s stack; the Barreto chipper and stump grinders clean up what the wind left. Husqvarna 20-inch saws rent by the day, and the Husqvarna 440 is on the sales floor if it’s time to own one. Our Husqvarna service bench sharpens, tunes and does the warranty work.
