The right hunting rifle can make all the difference in the field. Known for their precision, stopping power, and dependability, rifles for hunting are designed to take on game of all sizes, from varmints to big game. At Total Impact Guns & Range, we carry a wide variety of hunting rifles in popular calibers, styles, and configurations to match your hunting style and budget.

Choosing the Right Hunting Rifle

When selecting a hunting rifle, consider your intended game, shooting environment, and personal needs.

  • Caliber selection: Small calibers like .22 LR and .223 Remington are ideal for varmints and small game, while .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and 6.5 Creedmoor excel for medium to large game such as deer, elk, and bear.
  • Action type: Bolt-action hunting rifles are common for accuracy and durability. Semi-automatic and lever-action models are also used depending on terrain and personal preference.
  • Barrel length & weight: Short, lightweight rifles are easier to carry in dense brush, while longer barrels improve accuracy and velocity for long-range shots.
  • Optics & accessories: Many modern rifles come optics-ready, letting you mount scopes, rangefinders, or other accessories tailored to hunting needs.

The best hunting rifle balances caliber, weight, and features to fit your game and the terrain you hunt in.
