Best Home Defense Firearms Series Part 3: Rifles

January 19, 2023 | 0 Comments

This blog is part 3 in a 3 part series covering the best home defense guns.

Best Home Defense Firearms Series Part III: Rifles from GrabAGun

Wrapping up our series to help you find the best guns for home defense, we’re moving on to our final category of home defense firearms. Offering a variety of unique benefits, rifles like AR15s, AK47s, and carbines display great performance in a variety of shooting situations, including home defense. If you’re interested in finding a home defense rifle of your own, keep reading to see some of our top picks for the best home defense rifles here at GrabAGun!

Our Top Home Defense Rifles

As previously mentioned, a semi-auto rifle, like an AR-15 or a carbine, is an excellent choice for home defense due to the features offered. Designed with sporting and tactical use in mind, the construction of these rifles is lightweight and durable, allowing them to easily be wielded and maneuvered in virtually any situation. Their construction also allows for customization and the mounting of accessories like optics, lasers, flashlights, slings, etc., making it easy to build a gun that works best for you.

The performance of rifles like AR15s and carbines is another reason they’re good for home defense. Their high-capacity mags mean you don’t have to worry about running out of ammo. Additionally, since most models fire 5.56 NATO, .223 Remington, or similar ammo, these rifles deliver more than enough stopping power. While overpenetration can be a concern in a home defense situation, the increased accuracy of a rifle, along with the design and lighter grain of a defense round, reduces the likelihood that a round will penetrate multiple walls if a shot misses the target.

Now that we’ve gotten to look at some of the benefits of rifles for home defense, there still remains the question of which one is right for you. To help in your search, we’re now going to look at some of our favorite home defense rifles at GrabAGun!

The Best Deer Hunting Rifles

Whether sitting in a stand or using your best tracking methods, hunting deer is a fun pastime for the family every year. However, one of the most important parts of deer hunting is picking a good rifle. While most people use bolt action rifles, many gun enthusiasts use the classic lever action rifle for a more close-range approach to hunting. We have gathered a few of our favorite hunting rifles here for your consideration.

Bolt Action Rifles

Accurate, dependable, and with a variety of caliber options; bolt action rifles are the most popular deer hunting rifle in the US. With many bolt actions chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, .243 Winchester, or standard .308 Winchester; there are plenty of ammo options to choose from depending on what you like.

GrabAGun offers an extensive list of bolt action rifles and Winchester ammo to choose from.

Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 24.3 inch barrel, this rifle features a synthetic stock, an adjustable trigger, and a 3 round magazine. The T3x receiver introduces a widened angular ejection port making it easier to feed one cartridge at a time, and extra screw placements on top of the receiver to robustly attach a Picatinny rail.

The Best Deer Hunting Ammo

GrabAGun sells multiple brands of the best deer hunting ammo in various calibers. Picking the correct caliber really comes down to personal preference. Do you want to hunt larger animals or only deer? Will you be hunting in tight brush or more open areas? Whether you are a fan of .308 Winchester or .243 Winchester, there are multiple options for you to choose from.

.30-06 Springfield

One of the most tried and true rifle cartridges for hunting is the .30-06 Springfield caliber. This historical and powerful caliber is versatile and is one of the best hunting cartridges. This powerful cartridge is also good for bigger predators in case you run across any while hunting. The new Remington Core-Lokt ammo contains 20 rounds of .30-06 Springfield, 165-grain, Core-Lokt Tipped bullets that can really pack a punch. With a velocity of 2820 fps and an energy of 2913 ft/lbs, you’ll be able to take down game with ease. Looking for a deer rifle? Get your 30-06 bolt action rifle and Remington ammo for the best price at GrabAGun!

.243 Winchester

While .243 Win is seen as a “first-time” hunter caliber, it actually gained wide popularity with shooters of all skill levels when it first came out. With wide availability, many people use .243 Win to take down coyotes and other varmints outside of Deer Season as well. For deer, the best bullet weight is 90 grains or more for the flattest trajectory and the best penetration to really stop a deer in its tracks. If you are more interested in more knock-down power that works great on deer or larger game, the .308 Winchester is more for you. Either way both are available in many different brands and models perfect for deer hunting.

.270 Winchester

Over many decades, the .270 Winchester has been a hit with deer hunters. One of the best long-range calibers, the .270 is great for open country. The .270 Winchester was way ahead of its time. While it packs a lesser punch than the .30-06 Springfield, it will get the job done when hunting deer and varmints! GrabAGun offers this Federal Power-Shok Ammo in .270 Win with 130-grain Jacketed Soft Point projectiles in brass casings. With a muzzle velocity of 3060 fps, these rounds are great for hunting! Get your 20-round box at GrabAGun today for the best price and flat rate shipping.

6.5 Creedmoor

A newer caliber that has really taken over the hunter’s market and caused quite a stir is the 6.5 Creedmoor. This caliber has match-grade abilities with outstanding accuracy and shootability. This caliber has minimal recoil and allows for fast follow up shots. If you want to get another new caliber, the 6.5 PRC may be for you! The 6.5 PRC cartridge is known to deliver accuracy while also having a bit more power than the 6.5 Creedmoor. While these are newer calibers that haven’t been in the deer hunting scene for long, we figure that they will be a favorite among the classic rifle rounds soon enough.

6.5 Creedmoor vs 308 Winchester – Which is better?

November 22, 2017 | 0 Comments

It’s nothing new for a company to introduce a rifle cartridge, tons of them try it and like restaurants 90% fail in the first year. What is exciting is when a round has so much potential in less than a decade it changes the entire rifle game. The 6.5 Creedmoor was one of those rounds. It came to life in 2008 from a little ammo company we know and love called Hornady.

The 6.5 Creedmoor is a rifle round that can be chambered in short action and semi-automatic rifles like the AR-10. It’s a direct competitor to the classic 308 Winchester. The 308 has been in the service of sportsman since the 1950s. It’s also a short action rifle round that is the AR 10’s original caliber. For the longest time, it was the king of full powered short action rifle rounds.

Which is better?

Effective Range

The 308 Win and it’s military cousin the 7.62 NATO, have long been the choice of military and police tactical shooters. It hits hard and has excellent penetration. It’s great in a semi-auto or bolt action platform. The round was originally designed to be a battle rifle cartridge and not a Sniper rifle cartridge.

Weatherby 6.5 Creedmoor

The 6.5 Creedmoor was designed for long-range shooting by ballisticians with over 50 years more data and science than the 308 Win. It’s a round loved by 1,000-yard bench rest shooters and has been for a reason.

The same gun in a modular Chassis

The 6.5 Creedmoor has considerably less drop, and out to a thousand yard, it outperforms the 308 significantly. At 1,000 yards the 308 on average has in excess of 300 inches of drop and has a velocity of around 1,500 feet per second when loaded with a 150-grain projectile. The 6.5 Creedmoor experiences less than 300 inches of drop and the heaviest rounds are still hitting 1,600 feet per second.

On average the Supersonic range of the 6.5 Creedmoor is further than the 308 Winchester by 200 feet.

Sectional Density

Sectional density comes from a calculation that compares a bullet’s diameter and its weight. The higher the sectional density the better the round is. Sectional density is important when it comes to considering a rounds ability to penetrate. This is going to be a consideration for hunters who need to stop a living target.

308 AR 10s tend to be more affordable

Sectional density is calculated by dividing the bullet’s weight in pounds by its diameter in inches. So if you took a 308 round and a 6.5 round of the same weight the 6.5 would have a higher sectional density due to its diameter.

For example, a 150 grain 7.62 round has a sectional density of .226

A 150 grain 6.5 mm round has a sectional density of .307.

This means the 6.5 mm round is going to outperform the 308 when it comes to penetration. This is going to be incredibly important when it comes to penetrating an animal.

Ballistic Coefficient

Ballistic coefficient, or BC, is a measure of how a bullet cuts through the air. Essentially it’s a rating based on how streamlined the bullet is and how it resists air drag. When comparing BC’s the higher the BC the better. A high BC means the round is more streamlined and resists the effects of air drag. A high BC also means a projectile is more resistant to wind drift, maintains a higher velocity.

Precision 308 Chassis platform from Savage

The higher the BC the flatter the trajectory will be. This means less bullet drop and a more predictable drop pattern. This is invaluable to know when shooting at long ranges and the flatter the trajectory the easier it is to hit a target. Without digging too deep into the science of BC we can show the difference between 308 and 6.5 CM.

A Pricier 6.5 Creedmoor AR 10

Let’s look at Hornady’s Match Loads:

The 308 Win Match 178 grain boat tail hollow point has a BC of.530

The 6.5 CM Match 140-grain boat tail hollow point has a BC of .580

You see this trend throughout a wide variety of loads. When you compare like with like you see the 6.5 always wins in BC.

Rifle and Ammo Selection

The science behind ammunition is fun and as a wanna be ballistician I find it equal parts fascinating and confusing. Now inside of 500 yards you aren’t likely to notice much difference between the two rounds unless you are a competition shooter. Even then it’s minimal. The 6.5 Creedmoor has proven to be ballistically the better round. Will that be a major concern for shooters inside 500 yards?

Ammo Matters

Unlikely. What will affect you is your ability to choose a particular rifle. Rifle choice is one of the most important considerations for any shooter. At this point rifles in 308 are not only more common, but they are significantly cheaper on average. This isn’t always the case, a Remington 700 SPS in 6.5 Creedmoor is about the same price as the same gun in 308.

However, if I wanted an AR 10 in 6.5 Creedmoor I’d have to be willing to spend significantly more money. Also if I was shopping for a budget rifle I’m more likely to find it in 308 than 6.5 Creedmoor.

Best Rifle Calibers for Big Game Hunting

November 17, 2017 | 0 Comments

You may have had a heated debate on this topic with a hunting buddy: What’s the best caliber for big game hunting? Everyone has an opinion on it. The truth is that there is not one right answer. So much is based on personal preference and what type of game you are hunting that selecting just one is nearly impossible. But that does not mean that certain rifle calibers are not better than others; in fact, quite the opposite is true.

There are a few that are more capable than the rest when it comes to your best option for hunting calibers suited for big game. Before you check out the latest semi-automatic rifles for sale, do yourself a favor and look at these bullet caliber options that many hunters agree are preferable for larger game.

.338 Winchester Magnum

What is more representative of big game hunting than Alaskan wildlife? A widely used bullet for hunting moose and grizzlies is the .338 Winchester Magnum. Nearly everyone who has done any sort of large game hunting in North America has used this ammunition at some point. These rounds can take out big game, but they are also generally associated with a large recoil and can be more expensive than some of the other rounds on the list. Don’t let that deter you, however. If you need to take down big game in the States, the .338 will get the job done.

7mm Remington Magnum

Do you desire to hunt exotic big game from regions of Africa? Perhaps impala, nyala, kudu or other animals that are not seen in the States? If so, then the 7mm Remington Magnum is the caliber for you. Commonly associated with a flat trajectory and consistency in hitting long range shots, there are numerous reasons why the 7mm is ideal for big game hunts. Stellar ballistic coefficients, above average velocities, and mid-range bullet weights help make the 7mm Rem Mag the right choice for the open plains and other African terrains may find yourself hunting in.

.30-06 Remington

Another caliber found in many rifle magazines throughout Africa is the .30-06. Though not often used at the distances that the 7mm Remington Magnum is, the .30-06 Remington is more than capable of taking down your prey at a few hundred yards. One of the smaller bullets on this list, it has plenty of power to be useful against most species you would be hunting. These controlled expansion rounds keep the hide of the animal intact while still deliver lethal force. With a long history of usage, the .30-06 is an old favorite for many hunters that continues to show its worth out in the field.

.308 Winchester

What could be a better seal of approval than that of the United States Military? The .308 Winchester is the civilian equivalent to what the armed forces use, the 7.62x51mm NATO. Bringing that kind of power in your ammunition to hunting expeditions means when you find your target, you don’t need to worry that you did not bring enough firepower. It is ideal for the most common big game in North America such as deer, black bears, and elk. Easily accessible and easy to fire, this could be the round you need for most hunts in North America.

Though there are plenty of calibers to choose from – anything between a .22 caliber and a 50 cal – there are some that are more equal than others in the world of big game hunting. In addition to the ammunition, it’s a good idea to have high-powered rifle scopes at your disposal. All the ammo in the world will not do you a bit of good if you cannot see the target you are aiming for.

Now that you know a little more about the caliber you will need, you can go scope out the latest bolt action rifles or other firearms to make your hunt successful. Make sure that the rifles you own or buy are compatible with the ammunition you need. While the options presented here are not the only ones available, they are some of the best for big game hunting.

The Best Long Range Rifles: GrabAGun’s Top Five

October 20, 2017 | 0 Comments

When it comes to distance shooting, there is no substitution for a long-range rifle. The ability to hit a target from distances over 1,000 yards might seem like an impossibility to the unskilled marksman, but with the right training and firearm it is possible. Granted, the amount of knowledge required to assess how to shoot at this distance is far greater than for firing short distances. Being able to read wind, assess air pressure, factor in elevation fluctuation, and gauge humidity are all skills you will want to hone as you start target shooting over great distances. We will go into the top long range rifles GrabAGun offers.

Get The Right Long Range Rifle

As important as being able to accurately read and interpret those factors is, your bullets are not going to end up anywhere near the target if you do not have the right firearm to make the shot. That doesn’t mean you should go out and buy every rifle for sale you see that says it can shoot at those distances. A little information on some of the better ones available will help you determine which rifle is best for you. All shooters are different; some prefer a bolt-action rifle, while others like to use AR rifles. If you are looking for bolt-action reviews, you come to the right place. Here are five long-range rifles that can help you make the shots you need on the range or during the hunt.

Winchester XPR

We’ll start with this bolt-action rifle for sale from Winchester.

The reduced price tag doesn’t mean that you aren’t getting a quality weapon. The XPR remains an accurate and durable bolt-action for hunters to take out in the field knowing it has what it takes to get the job accomplished. Not only that, but it will be able to take the punishment you are going to put it through on your adventures.

The 26” barrel will have you staring down targets from great distances with ease. Many owners agree that this is one of the most accurate weapons they keep in their safe. Though it can always be modified, this Savage shoots just as well as weapons that cost 3x the money.

Remington 700 SPS

It’s hard to create a rifle list without including a Remington. And for the price, few rival this Remington 700 Special Purpose Synth etic. The 20” heavy barrel is one of the best tactical rifles for sale on the market. It can be outfitted with accessories to modify it to your specific needs.

One Remington just isn’t enough. That’s why we’re including the Remington 700 VTR on the list to give you some selection from the popular brand. Like other Remington rifles for sale, this rifle is extremely customizable and dependable.

Things You Need to Know Before Buying a Rifle

June 23, 2017 | 0 Comments

So you are interested in buying your first firearm and you feel ready to learn how to use it responsibly. But what kind of gun do you need? Are you looking for a hunting rifle because you want to be closer to nature or do you just love the outdoors and want to learn more about firearms? Learning more about the options available to you for your first firearm is the first step.

As you research the types of guns available to you, pay attention to the type of ammunition they use, the way they feel in your hands, and how comfortable shooting it may be. GrabAGun has many different types of rifles for you to choose from in various brands, models, and calibers!

Understanding Different Types of Rifles

Whether you are interested in learning how to hunt or shoot targets, you’ll need to learn about the different types of rifles for sale before you can decide what you need to buy. Guns are categorized according to many different features, but one way to easily differentiate among them is to know the mechanics behind the way it fires.

Semi-Automatic Rifle

A semi-automatic rifle fires a single round when the trigger is pulled. That’s different from the way a fully automatic firearm works, which continuously fires rounds while the trigger is held. Semi-auto rifles are larger in size and have a longer barrel. They are also often used for home defense.

Bolt Action Rifle

A bolt action rifle is different from a semi-auto because it works manually, which means you open and close the barrel by hand. A small handle on the side of the gun opens to release the bullet and the casing. Most bolt actions are rifles, but the phrase “bolt action” refers to the way the gun works, which means that it may also be a bolt action handgun or any other type of firearm that is not a rifle.

Lever Action Rifle

Lever action rifles are manually operated as well. Cartridges are loaded into a compartment on the bottom of the gun, near the trigger and trigger guard. The ammo goes into an area with a lever (hence the name). As with bolt action guns, most are rifles, but some are pistols or shotguns for sale.

Single Shot Rifle

Single shot rifles are named as such because they hold only a single round of ammunition. This is one of the oldest designs of a firearm. The simple design is still popular among gun enthusiasts today.

Revolving Cylinder

Revolving cylinder guns are guns that have multiple chambers for ammunition. The most well-known and recognizable type of gun with a revolving cylinder is a handgun where the chamber snaps out of the side and rotates. However, there are other types of firearms that have revolving cylinders as well.

Accessories

Next, you’ll want to consider looking into the types of gun accessories you might want to use. That can help you get a better idea of how you see yourself as a hunter, target shooter, or firearm enthusiast. Do you think you will want to use a stand? Or perhaps you simply want to be able to carry it with you for protection.

Rifles at GrabAGun

Now that you have a basic overview of the types of firearms for sale, you’ll want to know what to research next. Think about your purpose for purchasing a gun and focus on that.

Home Defense? What You Need To Know

March 4, 2014 | 0 Comments

Choosing a Gun for Home Defense

My dad used to say, “if you don’t own a car, you walk and if you don’t have a gun, you run.” So just what is the best home defense weapon? Let’s compare the most common firearms used for home defense.

Home Defense Rifles

A semi-automatic rifle makes an excellent choice for a home defense weapon. They are more accurate, easier to aim than a handgun, and offer greater stopping power.

A .22 caliber rimfire is certainly capable of injuring, but it creates a small wound and a big risk. In some cases, it just angers a wounded intruder and makes him come after you with additional fury. There is also the disadvantage of any long barreled weapon being taken from you by an assailant and used on you. If you have to shoot an intruder, don’t wait until he is within range of grabbing your gun.

On the other hand, centerfire rifles have plenty of stopping power, but be careful not to overdo it. Large caliber centerfire rifles are extremely likely to over penetrate. Stick to rifles that shoot a smaller caliber and high velocity round. These smaller rounds are much less prone to overpenetration and shouldn’t cause unintended damage or injury.

Home Defense Shotguns

Hunting shotguns with extremely long barrels are great for longer range shooting, but can be unwieldy indoors. Short barreled shotguns, on the other hand, can be extremely effective if you understand a few things about using a shotgun at close range. The 12 gauge is the most popular, but not everyone can handle the recoil. The most important thing is to be sure to practice with your self-defense weapon so that you are familiar with how it handles and performs.

Many people discourage the use of a small bore .410 shotguns for home defense simply because of the small number of shot delivered. Though not my primary weapon, my old .410 is one of my “shelf guns” for home defense and I keep it loaded with buckshot. One thing you must know if you plan to use a shotgun for home defense is that it takes distance for spread to occur. You won’t get the spread that you do on the range, and you will have to aim. Avoid the use of slugs for home defense as they have the same risk as a rifle in overpenetration, placing your family members and bystanders at risk.

Buttstock Vs. Pistol Grip Shotguns

People often replace the buttstock of a shotgun with pistol grips to make it easier to use in tight spaces. This action is going to diminish aim, stability and control. I suggest you try a buttstock versus a pistol grip shotgun before you buy. You should also be aware that some pistol grips are created for a specific type of firearm and will work poorly on a shotgun.

There are gun owners who love their pistol grip shotgun, and appear to overall recommend a lot of practice to gain experience in overcoming the loss of control, aim and stability. If it works for them it may work for you but I prefer the greater control and accuracy of a buttstock. Pachmayr manufactures a specialty grip called the Vindicator that is created for shotguns.

Pump Action Shotgun

If you are considering the purchase of a shotgun for home defense the best option is to choose a pump action shotgun with a 20 inch barrel. Some people prefer the 18 inch, but the former will provide you with a greater variety to choose from. Shotguns are one of the best choices for a home defense weapon and they are available from brands like Remington and Mossberg.

Home Defense Handguns

Handguns from the 9mm caliber and up are effective in stopping assailants inside or outside the home. When loaded with the appropriate ammunition for inside home use, they are less likely to put your loved ones and others at risk. They are also less likely to cause damage to the home or to be taken from you in a struggle with an intruder.

A handgun is an fantastic weapon for home defense and major brands like Glock, Smith and Wesson and Sig Sauer are all quality firearms. But a handgun, or any gun, is useless if you can’t use it or, even worse, if you use it incorrectly. You don’t want to fire a weapon that you have no accuracy for in your home. Any bullet, even a .22 caliber, will go through today’s walls and potentially endanger your family. Make sure to practice with your handgun or any firearm until the correct and accurate skills become second nature.
