It’s incredibly frustrating looking at a rack of rifles on the shelf in an outdoors store. You have to pick a rifle without ever shooting it or even testing the accuracy, and there are no returns. Good news for you is that I bought just about all of the popular hunting rifles under $700, exhaustively tested them, and I’m going to give you an unbiased look at the results in this blog post.

Why You Can Trust This Review

  • I spent hundreds of hours testing all 11 of these rifles hands-on
  • I bought all of the rifles with my own money so I can give a truly unbiased opinion
  • I shot two buckets full of ammunition to test the rifles for accuracy, feeding, and durability
  • My third grade teacher once told me I was “neat” and gave me a scratch-and-sniff sticker
