Description
The Skaði– Born of Norse Legend. Built for Modern Women.
by Heretic Custom Arms

Beauty in Precision. Where Elegance Meets the Hunt.
The Skaði (Skadi) Series by Heretic Custom Arms is engineered for women who command the hunt with equal parts grace and grit. Inspired by the Norse goddess of winter and the mountains, these rifles balance lightweight maneuverability with unwavering performance — giving female shooters a platform that feels natural, responsive, and confidently in control.
At just 6 lbs, the Skadi is effortless to shoulder, carry, and transition — whether you’re navigating dense timber, moving through competition stages, or training for speed and accuracy. The 16″ pencil‑profile carbine match barrel keeps weight forward-light, while the 3‑port muzzle brake tames recoil and muzzle rise so you stay locked on target with poise and precision.
The B5 P23 grip and B5 Bravo stock create an ergonomic fit tailored to smaller hands and more compact frames, delivering comfort without compromise. A 14″ free‑float MLOK handguard gives you full accessory freedom without adding bulk, and the DevilDog charging handle ensures smooth, rapid cycling even under pressure.
Chambered in 5.56 NATO, the Skadi lineup blends reliability, versatility, and confidence — a rifle that moves with you, not against you.


Why Women Choose the Skadi
The Skadi Series is built for women who refuse to compromise — on performance, on comfort, or on confidence. Every feature is engineered to fit the way she moves, aims, and dominates her environment. This isn’t a downsized version of a man’s rifle. It’s a platform customized from the ground up to feel natural in a woman’s hands.
The Skadi isn’t just a rifle — it’s a tool of empowerment. It’s built for women who value accuracy, agility, and elegance in motion.

Andrea E –
I absolutely love my Skadi. It feels comfortable, balanced, and genuinely custom rather than like a standard rifle that was simply marketed toward women. The Cerakote finish is gorgeous, but it still feels like a serious, performance-driven rifle. It’s smooth to shoot, incredibly accurate, and fits me perfectly. Heretic Custom Arms nailed the balance between style, comfort, and performance.

The alpine white color is the first thing everyone notices, but the accuracy is what sold me. It shoots tight groups, feels great, and has quickly become one of my favorite rifles!
