TOPICS TO CONSIDER WHEN SHOPPING FOR A RIFLE:
- Purpose - Determine the primary use for the rifle, whether it is for hunting, target shooting, competitive shooting, or self-defense. Also decide if it will be a single purpose rifle or if you want something that is more of a utility rifle to use in multiple ways.
- Action & Caliber - Different actions such as bolt-action, semi-automatic and lever action are better suited for specific shooting styles and preferences. Recoil, ballistic performance, and availability of ammunition are all factors to consider when deciding on the caliber. Pairing the appropriate action and caliber provides great results for the shooter.
- Accessories - There are a variety of interchangeable stocks, optics options, aftermarket triggers, lights, lasers, etc. that can enhance your experience. Do some homework and talk with our team about the best upgrades for your rifle.
- Brand & Budget - Do some research of reputable brands that are known for producing reliable rifles. Decide if you are a “buy once cry once” type of person and you can choose to pay a little more upfront to avoid malfunctions or other issues. Set a budget that aligns with your needs and expectations and look for the best options that fit within your means.
