Alfredo Rico’s passion for firearms was sparked in his youth by his father and younger brother. Growing up on copies of Guns & Ammo, American Rifleman, and Time-Life’s Guns of the Old West, Alfredo learned to shoot using a Remington Speedmaster Model 552 and a Kmart 20-gauge shotgun purchased by his dad—two heirlooms he still owns today.
Channeling his creative drive into a career, Alfredo first entered the firearms industry behind the lens as a photographer. The demand for his dynamic imagery quickly led him to work alongside some of the industry's top professionals. "Getting thrown into the deep end of the pool," as Alfredo puts it, he traveled the world immersing himself in everything from firearm and ammo manufacturing to advanced training centers and hunting game across four continents.
Along the way, he became a prolific gun writer, writing for many of OSG’s shooting publications. Over the years, Alfredo has gravitated heavily toward precision rifles, diving deep into the technical nuances of the discipline.
