Image
Is there a gun enthusiast in your life who would appreciate a firearm that takes it to the next level? Well, with the holidays coming up, this is the perfect time to make their day, or their year, by getting them exactly that kind of gun. What follows are examples of guns that take some features of firearms to the next level. For instance, a fully automatic MAC 11 gun has a rate of fire that is truly next level. It’s also worth remembering that there’s no reason you shouldn’t treat yourself to the gift of a next-level gun this holiday season! MAC 11 Gun MAC 11—Next-Level Rate of Fire The MAC 11 is famous for being a simple, effective, no-nonsense SMG. However, it is also well-known for its next-level rate of fire.

There’s nothing quite like spending a holiday at the ranch with the people you care about most. Although it’s easy to enjoy these trips, it can be more challenging to find the perfect gift for the rancher in your life, but you can bet they’ll be glad to have a reliable new rifle.

Holiday Gift Guide: 6 Distinctive and Worthwhile Guns for That Special Gun Enthusiast

Image
It’s the rare fan of firearms who doesn’t appreciate having at least one conversation piece in their collection. That can be a family heirloom, a homemade build, or a favorite shooter. However, a home-run option for a gun people will talk about is gifting your favorite gun enthusiast a high-quality but distinctive firearm. That could be an antique or vintage model, like a Dreyse M1907, or something new and unique, like the Kel Tec KSG . Give them something to talk about with one of the following distinctive gun gifts. 50 Beowulf Dreyse M1907 The Dreyse is a unique and certainly distinctive looking early automatic. Superficially, it looks quite a bit like the first ever mass-produced automatic, the FN 1900, and shares its chambering—32 ACP. However, the Dreyse features several distinct internal differences. Because this antique firearm tends to be overshadowed by the famous FN 1900, you can often find them relatively inexpensively. Despite their usually modest price, they have a reput...

This holiday season, what if you looked around for the most interesting concealed carry for your favorite fan of firearms?

Holiday Gift Guide: 5 Guns That are Ideal for First-Timers

The approach of the holidays makes this the perfect time to find the ideal gun for a first-timer. A few characteristics make a firearm an excellent option for inexperienced or first-time shooters or gun owners. It certainly helps if the weapon doesn’t produce much felt recoil. Ease of use should obviously be taken into consideration. It’s also wise to consider details like how easy a gun is to load and maintain. Finally, it’s worth considering what the firearm will be for. For instance, a 243 rifle is an excellent choice as a first hunting rifle. However, it’s probably not the best choice for home defense. 204 Ruger 243 Rifle The 243 Winchester cartridge is among the most versatile short-action cartridges ever. Heavier 243 Winchester bullets are capable of taking game as large as mule deer, depending on the skill and experience of the hunter. Lighter loads are a favorite choice for varmints. Additionally, a quality 243 rifle will provide dead-on accuracy up to 300 yards and beyond t...
