4 Cool Tactical Rifles to Add to Your Gun Collection

At the forefront of this new era is the tactical rifle. For over fifty years, the United States has relied upon the same rifle platform: the AR. The AR platform has evolved as technology has led to new innovations. It’s still being used today, and will continue to be used for some time.

With that said, other next-generation tactical rifles have come to be used commonly as well. These weapons are powerful, accurate, reliable, and highly customizable. We’ve made a list so you can take a look at some of the more popular tactical rifles out there today.

Bushmaster Carbon-15

This semi-automatic rifle chambers in 5.56 and sports a 16 inch barrel. It also has a standard AR style and finish, but is incredibly light and is more resistant to corrosion due to the fibers of the Bushmaster’s carbon-based composite structure. Bushmaster will send you a red dot sight to go with the Carbon-15.

FN FS2000 Tactical

This bullpup rifle is an impressively well-designed 5.56 millimeter weapon. It ejects empty cases through an opening in the front of the gun, where they won’t reach you. Its 17.4 inch barrel is longer than that of most carbines. As an added bonus, the FS2000 is designed for ambidextrous use.

Heckler & Koch MR762A1

Out of all the online precision tactical rifles for sale, Heckler and Koch make some of the best. Originally designed for marksmen, this weapon packs a serious punch with its 7.62 NATO ammunition. The rifle’s predecessor, the HK417 is still used in militaries and police forces around the world.

Beretta ARX 160

This is a target rifle more than anything. Its .22 Long Rifle ammunition is often compared to 9 millimeter, but .22 LR is slightly different. It’s speedier and more accurate, but doesn’t penetrate deeply enough through targets for it to be considered combat ammunition. The ARX 160 is also ideal for training purposes.

As you might have noticed from this list, tactical rifles have evolved to serve multiple functions. They need to be usable in a variety of environments. But your needs probably won’t change so quickly, so do as much research as you can before making a selection. Don’t be afraid to contact a company directly, as they’ll be able to make recommendations based on what you’re looking for in a tactical rifle.
