.300 Blackout (also known as .300 AAC Blackout or 7.62x35mm) was initially designed for the M4 carbine for use in special operations, but it's become a common caliber for all AR-platform firearms to be chambered in. .300 Blackout rifles and pistols provide better performance than 5.56 NATO in guns with shorter barrels and silencers. Whether you're looking for a firearm for home defense, hunting, or just something to show off at the range, you can find it in the collection at Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore.
Special ops missions require the best of the best equipment. Neither 5.56 NATO nor 9mm Parabellum provided the performance these sensitive missions needed, which meant a new one needed to be made.
In 2010, production of both .300 Blackout cartridges and firearms began. These rounds provided better subsonic performance than 9mm and better performance in short-barreled firearms with silencers than 5.56 NATO.
While .300 Blackout rifles, pistols, and carbines were quickly adopted by militaries worldwide, they also became incredibly popular in civilian circles. You can find AR-15 rifles and AR-15 pistols chambered in this high-performance caliber. Find the .300 Blackout gun that's right for you at Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore.

.300 Blackout was made for combat, so it's a fantastic caliber for self-defense weapons. It's especially effective in SBRs and rifle-caliber handguns. However, its size and kinetic energy make it a good caliber for hunting medium-sized game, too.
.300 Blackout has much higher recoil than 5.56 NATO, with tests showing it has around 30% more recoil. However, it's intended for SBRs and carbines, weapons of choice for close-quarters combat where recoil doesn't have as detrimental of an effect. The increased recoil is worth the performance improvements.
We cannot send any firearms to residential addresses. Instead, we can send it to your local FFL dealer. You can pick up your order from them after it arrives.
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.

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.
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.
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.
