The Smart Way to Buy Guns Online
This is where our rifle reviews, comparisons and buying guides land. The best AR-15 rifles list covers every budget, and it’s the most-read page in this section for a reason.
Hunters should start with the best hunting rifles or go straight to the best deer hunting rifles. Want something classic? We’ve ranked the best lever action rifles, and the best .22 LR rifles are still the cheapest way to get good at shooting. Not sure which cartridge you need? Read the rifle caliber guide first. The full list of rifle roundups is in our buying guides hub.
Four hundred rounds through the Browning BAR MK4 without a stoppage, with a best group of 1.12 inches at 100 yards from Winchester 150 grain Power Points. Browning’s own catalog is the problem: it still lists the previous MK3 as current production, in nine chamberings against six, and a trusted retailer sells one for $488 less.
Twelve hundred rounds through the Bergara B-14R Steel in .22 LR. Half inch groups at 50 yards with match ammo, ten round magazines in AICS dimensions, and the odd fact that this rimfire trainer lists for more than the centerfire rifle it copies.
The best .338 Winchester Magnum rifles for 2026, with live trusted-retailer prices, the SAAMI pressure and velocity figures, and the four factory loads worth buying.
The Sako TRG 22 A1 carries a guaranteed sub-MOA promise, a full aluminum chassis and a two-hinge folding stock at $6,349.00, while a TRG-22 with the same barrel is $4,009.99. We shot 600 rounds through one.
The Bergara Premier HMR Pro puts a nitrided Premier action and a mini-chassis stock at a $1,799.00 list price and a $1,549.99 street price. We shot 700 rounds through one and read Bergara’s own spec table.
The Proof Research Elevation starts at 5 lbs 14 oz, carries a sub MOA accuracy guarantee and sells from $2,825.99, while a Savage wearing the same brand of barrel starts at $1,109.99. We shot 500 rounds through one.
The Barrett MRAD changes caliber in five minutes with a Torx wrench, but the MRAD SMR most retailers stock cannot do it at all. We shot 320 rounds across two barrels and read Barrett’s own spec sheets.
The Henry Side Gate .30-30 kept the removable brass tube when it added a loading gate, so you get both. Listed at $1,135.00 and selling from $899.99, we shot 400 rounds through one and read Henry’s own spec sheets.
The Black Rain Ordnance Spec 15 is a forged, mil-spec AR-15 wearing a boutique badge, listed at $1,069.00 and selling from $822.99. We put 1,000 rounds through one and read the spec sheet Black Rain publishes itself.
