Why Shooters Choose an AR-10

The AR-10 gives you the same easy-to-run platform as an AR-15 but in a big-bore caliber that hits harder and reaches farther. Most AR-10 rifles are chambered in .308 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor, so they carry more energy downrange than a 5.56, which makes them a popular pick for deer and hog hunting, long-range target work, and anyone who wants more punch out of an AR.

That extra power is the trade-off. An AR-10 kicks more and weighs a couple pounds more than a smaller rifle, but you get a round that drops big game cleanly and stays accurate well past where a 5.56 runs out of steam. If you've already run an AR 15 rifle and want to step up in caliber, the controls and feel carry right over.

Total Impact stocks AR-10 rifles across the popular calibers and price points, and you can test-fire one on our indoor range before you buy.

.308 vs 6.5 Creedmoor AR-10 Calibers

AR-10 rifles come in a few main calibers, and the right one depends on whether you're hunting, shooting long range, or just want a do-it-all big-bore. Caliber affects your effective range, recoil, and how much the ammo costs to feed.

CaliberBest forEffective rangeRecoil
.308 WinchesterHunting, all-around use, cheaper ammo~800 yardsStout
6.5 CreedmoorLong-range precision, flatter shooting~1,000+ yardsModerate
6mm CreedmoorCompetition, low recoil long range~1,000 yardsLight

.308 is the most common and the easiest to find ammo for, which makes it the safe pick for most buyers. 6.5 Creedmoor shoots flatter and bucks wind better at distance, so it's the favorite for long-range shooters. Both run on the same AR-10 platform, so it comes down to how far you're shooting and how much you want to spend on ammo.

If you're building rather than buying complete, we also carry complete AR lowers to start your project off the right way.

How to Choose an AR-10 Rifle

The best AR-10 for you comes down to caliber, weight, and what you're using it for, not the name on the receiver. Before you buy, work through these five things:

  1. Intended use. Hunting, long-range target, or a general-purpose big-bore. This sets your caliber and barrel length.
  2. Caliber. .308 for all-around use and cheaper ammo, 6.5 Creedmoor for flatter long-range shooting.
  3. Barrel length. A 16" barrel handles well for hunting and brush, while 18" to 20" squeezes out more velocity and accuracy for distance.
  4. Weight and handling. A lighter rifle carries easier in the field, a heavier one soaks up recoil and steadies your shots at the range.
  5. Budget. A solid, reliable AR-10 starts around $800, so you don't have to chase the high-end builds to get a rifle you can trust.

The easiest way to settle it is to get your hands on a couple. Our team will walk you through the options at the shop, and you can rent and shoot models on our range before you decide.

What an AR-10 Rifle Costs

Most AR-10 rifles sell for $900 to $1,800, with budget-friendly models starting near $800 and premium precision builds running $2,000 to $3,000 or more. You're paying for the barrel, trigger, and overall fit and finish, not just the bigger caliber, so there's a solid AR-10 at most price points.

Total Impact backs every rifle with a price-match guarantee. If you find the same AR-10 for less somewhere else, we'll match it, so you can shop with us without second-guessing the price.

How to Buy an AR-10 Rifle Online

Buying an AR-10 online is simple, and federal law just requires that the rifle ship to a licensed dealer for pickup, not straight to your door. Here's how it works with us:

  1. Order your AR-10. Pick your rifle and check out on our site.
  2. Pick your FFL. Choose a local licensed dealer (FFL) for the transfer, or pick up in our shop.
  3. We ship it. We send the rifle to that dealer anywhere in the country.
  4. Pass your background check. Complete the standard background check at the dealer, then take it home.

You must be at least 18 to buy a rifle. We handle FFL transfers both in and out, so we can ship your AR-10 to a dealer near you or receive one you bought elsewhere. Picking up at our shop is usually the fastest and easiest route.

Frequently Asked Questions About AR-10 Rifles

What is an AR-10 rifle?

An AR-10 is a semi-automatic rifle built on a larger version of the AR platform and chambered in big-bore calibers like .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor. It runs and feels like an AR 15 rifle but fires a heavier round with more range and power, which makes it popular for hunting and long-range shooting.

What's the difference between an AR-10 and an AR-15?

The main difference is caliber and size. An AR-10 fires larger rounds like .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor, so it hits harder and reaches farther but weighs more and kicks more, while an AR-15 fires the lighter 5.56/.223 and is easier to handle. Both share the same controls, so if you know one, you know the basics of the other.

How much does an AR-10 rifle cost?

Most AR-10 rifles cost between $900 and $1,800, with budget builds near $800 and premium precision rifles at $2,000 to $3,000 or more. Total Impact price-matches any competitor, so you always pay the best price.

Is an AR-10 good for hunting?

Yes, an AR-10 in .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor is a strong choice for deer, hog, and larger game because it carries plenty of energy and stays accurate at distance. The semi-auto action also gives you a fast follow-up shot, which is handy on hogs and in thick cover.

Can you build your own AR-10?

Yes, plenty of buyers build an AR-10 from parts, and it's a popular way to get exactly the caliber and barrel you want. You can start with one of our complete AR lowers and add the upper and components you prefer, or buy a complete rifle if you'd rather skip the build.

How far can an AR-10 shoot accurately?

A good AR-10 in .308 stays accurate out to around 800 yards, while a 6.5 Creedmoor build shoots flatter and reaches 1,000 yards or more in capable hands. Barrel length, optic, and ammo all play a part, so longer barrels and quality glass help you get the most range out of the platform.
