I Like Firearms

Many people I know like to hunt. However, sometimes it's hard for people to find the right rifle to use for hunting.          The rifle you use ultimately depends on the animal you are hunting. Sometimes the best rifle to use is the one with the most versatile round. Round versatility (for hunting) is distinguished by how many different types of animal you can ethically kill with it. Which there are plenty of rifle calibers that are super versatile.           One good example of a versatile round is a .243. The .243 can kill most types of animals from small varmints like coyotes, to big game animals, such as moose. The .243 is a very popular deer killing round, and I would highly recommend it. You can find a rifle that shoots the .243 for as cheap as 400 bucks new. The rounds themselves are also super cheap, which is a plus.           Another good round is the 22-250. It's a bit smaller than the .243, but it s...

I, like many other gun owners, have some sort of firearm for home defense. A lot of people who aren't experienced in firearms don't exactly know what they should use for home defense. It's actually not as difficult as you would think to find the right self defense firearm for you.            A lot of people use either pistols or shotguns for home defense. Pistols are compact, so they are perfect for close quarters scenarios. Shotguns can be designed to be more compact with pistol grips, and shortened barrels. Also, if someone is breaking into your house, nothing scares a burglar like the sound of a round being chambered into a pump action shotgun.             When it comes to pistols, I would recommend any pistol that shoots the .45 ACP caliber. The .45 acp caliber is a slow traveling, but high impact round. The round can penetrate damn near any material in it's way. The round is also very accurate. I would recommend either b...

Way back in the day, I bought an AR-15 Academy sports in Topeka, and it was the single worst decisions I could have ever made being a gun owner. Instead of researching what kind of AR I wanted, I decided to just buy one. I want to make damn sure that doesn't happen to you if you are wanting to get into this platform.                  One thing you should never do is impulse buy an AR. you should do research as to what kind of AR you want, as well as what you want to use it for. The AR platform is very versatile. People use ARs for everything from hunting, to self defense. this is the first thing you should determine if you want to get an AR, what you are using it for.            Now if you are using you AR for hunting, You are going to want to figure out what you are using it to hunt with. This will also help determine which caliber you will want to use. Let's say you are using it for small varmint type ani...

My name is Tyler Rottinghaus, and I am a proud gun owner. ever since I was a toddler, I had been around firearms. My dad taught me to shoot when I was 10, and ever since then, I have been in love with guns. I have fired just about every bullet caliber you could think of out of a rifle. I have bought, sold, and built firearms throughout my life, which makes me pretty credible to make this blog. I made this blog to help people who are getting into buying firearms, as well as people who are avid gun owners, but are looking for the best kind of firearm to fit their needs.
