Single-Shot Rifles: Simplicity in a Firearm

Single-shot rifles may sound outdated amidst semi-auto rifles with all kinds of accessories and attachments. But with single-shot .243 Winchester rifles, you get a firearm designed for shooters who don't need the bells and whistles. Their simple design makes them lighter and easier to control than repeating rifles, which are critical traits when trekking through dense forests for days and lining up shots through foliage.

Rifles aren't the only gun with a single-shot design. Our single-shot pistols offer the same simplicity in a compact package. Want a gun more suited for duck hunting? We have pump-action shotguns for sale in a variety of gauges. For hunters who want a gun just a step above these .243 Winchester rifles in complexity, we have an entire collection of bolt-action rifles that balance classic and modern designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I hunt with a single-shot rifle?

You should take a single-shot rifle hunting for three reasons: weight, reliability, and safety. With no internal moving parts to chamber rounds from a magazine, they're lighter and easier to carry for long periods of time. They're reliable for the same reason: less parts means fewer points of failure. And since they can only have one cartridge in them, they're extremely safe. If there's a round in the chamber, it's dangerous; if there isn't, it's 100% safe. You can't accidentally chamber a single-shot rifle!

Can you ship single-shot .243 Winchester rifles to my house?

Unless you personally have an FFL, we cannot ship to your house. Your order will need to be sent to a local licensed dealer for you to pick up. Before ordering, you should reach out to the dealer to confirm they're okay with taking the package, as well as ask about any potential pickup fees.

Are there any downsides to using a single-shot rifle?

Only one: you have one shot. Use it wisely, especially when hunting. It can be the difference between an ethical takedown and needing to track a wounded animal. Make sure you're a confident shooter before taking your gun into the wild.

Shop Single-Shot .308 Winchester Rifles and Beyond

While semi-automatic rifles are the ultimate point-and-shoot solution and bolt-action rifles balance easy chambering with simplicity, you can't get any less complex or reliable than with a single-shot rifle. You have to manually load and chamber the next round by hand after every shot. Although this method is much slower, the tradeoff is an action mechanism with minimal moving parts, reducing felt recoil and eliminating many causes of jamming.

These guns don't just come in rifle form. We've also curated an entire collection of single-shot pistols for competitive and recreational shooters. Or, if you want a classic weapon with a simplistic action mechanism, look through our revolvers for sale.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are single-shot rifles good for?

The lack of complex parts in the action mechanism results in less recoil and improved reliability, which is why single-shot firearms are great for applications where precision is key. They're most often carried by hunters and competitive shooters, though they are also a popular training gun for new shooters learning the basics of gun handling. Because they only have one bullet, we do not recommend one of these rifles for self-defense.

Should I hunt with a single-shot firearm?

If you're an experienced hunter looking for a gun with better handling, you should use a single-shot firearm. You'll notice the reduced recoil due to the lack of moving parts, and knowing you only have one shot forces you to make the best of it. However, if you're still working on your accuracy, we recommend sticking with a bolt-action rifle until you can consistently bring down game with a single shot.

Can you ship single-shot rifles to homes?

No. All online gun purchases must be shipped to someone with a valid FFL. That means we have to ship your order to the local FFL dealer of your choice. You can pick it up after it arrives.
