Peter Hofer Jagdwaffen Synonymous with Perfection and Precision
The exhibitor Peter Hofer Jagdwaffen was present at Cinegética+SCI 2026, reaffirming its status as a world leader in high-end hunting firearms.
Peter Hofer represents craftsmanship at its absolute finest. His passion, creativity, and ingenuity make the extraordinary possible, going further where others have long stopped. True to his motto, “nothing is impossible,” he and his team bring even the most exclusive customer wishes to life, creating truly superlative pieces.
The company blends the centuries-old gunsmithing tradition of Ferlach — with over 500 years of history — with cutting-edge technology and high-performance materials. Peter Hofer constantly pushes the boundaries of what is technically possible, with a vision as expansive as human imagination itself: anything conceivable can be realized in wood and steel.
Every handcrafted hunting rifle from the Austrian Peter Hofer workshop is the result of an art form recognized by UNESCO as Cultural Heritage. Excellence in craftsmanship and innovation is at the heart of the brand, with many pieces requiring thousands of hours of meticulous work to achieve the highest level of customization.
As a designer, researcher, and artist, Peter Hofer combines technical precision with unique sensitivity. His creations fuse tradition and innovation with an uncompromising pursuit of perfection. Each firearm is one-of-a-kind, deeply personal, and reflects the identity of its owner—like a fingerprint or a family crest.
Some of the most exclusive pieces, known as “mega rifles,” exceed 10,000 hours of handcrafted labor. These masterpieces are not only the pinnacle of gunsmithing but also a steadily appreciating investment. In uncertain economic times, owning a Peter Hofer firearm offers the reassurance of a tangible asset whose value grows over decades.
