3 Tips for Buying Your First Rifle

By
Whether you are a gun enthusiast who has every type of gun except a rifle or this will be your first gun, there are a few things to consider before buying your first rifle. Make sure that you are purchasing a gun that you will enjoy for years to come by keeping these three things in mind.

Browning Rifles


What Do You Want to Use It For?

There are tons and tons of rifles available for sale, with each offering a different primary purpose. Some are best suited for hunting, while others might be suited for home defense. As you shop around, consider what your number-one reason for buying this rifle is and not what you think you want it for. If you are more likely to use it for target practice than big game hunting, for example, you would likely prefer a wildly different type of rifle. When you buy with your genuine interest in mind first and foremost, you are more likely to have a good experience with the firearm for years to come.

Consider the Action Type

Once you know your purpose, consider the type of action that would best suit your needs and personal preferences. Bolt action Browning rifles, for example, offer reliability and simplicity, while semi-automatic rifles can be simpler to operate when firing multiple rounds. Conversely, pump-action and lever-action rifles harken back to the old days of firearms while standing strong to this day. Once you choose the action you would like, you will likely have narrowed down your selection.

Shop Around for the Right Deal on the Right Gun

Once you have decided which rifle you would like to buy, the only thing left to do is head to a big box store and overpay for a similar model, right? Absolutely not. You should not have to settle when it comes to firearms purchasing, and you should not need to overpay either. Sites such as GunBroker.com, for example, host a huge selection of rifle listings for sale or auction. Whether you are looking for Browning rifles or something else, do not settle for a gun you might not love and certainly do not overpay either. If you are like most, you will come to find that you would much prefer to buy guns online than overpay at a big box store any day of the week.

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

Whether you are going hunting with your Beretta A300 Outlander or taking a highly specialized AR 15 to an out-of-state competition, flying with a firearm might seem complex if you have never done it before. However, there are ways you can streamline the process to make it as simple as possible. This means you will not have to arrive at the airport too much earlier than you would for a typical flight. Here are five tips you should know about packing and declaring your firearm for your next flight. Use the Right Kind of Lock First, you will need the right kind of lock. Do not use any standard, TSA-approved lock to keep your firearms safe. Instead, use a heavy-duty lock on your case. Always keep a key on your person, but do not bring extra copies in your checked luggage. Otherwise, if you use a TSA-approved lock or have copies of the key, it is entirely possible that your gun case could be empty when you grab it off the carousel at your destination.
