Hunting seasons may be coming to a close and for those of you in wintery climes it might be a while before range day becomes fun again. But that’s no reason not to treat yourself to a fun new firearm (or two). I’m always on the lookout for a good bargain, and these are some of the Black Friday deals that caught my eye.

Browning AB3 Composite Stalker Bolt-Action Rifle with Leupold VX Freedom Scope Combo (Save $100 to $200)

For a turnkey hunting rig, this Browning AB3 and Leupold VX Freedom can’t be beat. When I checked it out, it was available in 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Winchester, .270 Winchester, .30/06, and .300 Winchester Magnum — so there’s something for everyone, whether you chase deer, elk, or bigger stuff.

Colt Anaconda in .44 Magnum  (Save $400)

If you don’t have a Colt Anaconda already I’m not sure we can be friends. This iconic wheelgun is one of the coolest blasters out there. Soft-recoiling .44 Special target loads are the ticket when shooting high volume.

Accuracy International AT-XC  (Pre-Order)

This is the ultimate long-range rifle splurge. Accuracy International rifles rarely go on sale, and here’s your chance to get one for a good price. This rifle won our Editor’s Choice award last year and has become a favorite of mine. There are also a pile of other deals on this page to check out — like that TriggerTech Diamond trigger which is about $100 off.

Buy One Get One Suppressors + Free Tax Stamps

Silencer Central is running their biggest sale of the year. If you buy any Banish Suppressor valued at $899 or more and get a free Banish 22K-V2. Select suppressors are eligible for a free tax stamp. Look for the Free Stamp icon on the product image and use code STAMP at checkout.

Ruger American Gen II Bolt-Action Rifle with Vortex Crossfire II Scope (Save $150)

The second generation of the Ruger American Rifle builds on the value its predecessor was known for, but incorporates many upgrades to the feature set and ergonomics. Paired with the Vortex Crossfire II, this is a heck of a hunting rig. 

Smith & Wesson 686 .357 Magnum (Save $450)

This is another drool-worthy six-shooter to consider. For all around utility this six-inch stainless S&W is about as good as it gets. Hunting, personal protection, plinking — the Model 686 does it all.

Ruger 10/22 Carbine Semi-Auto .22 LR Combo (Save $50)

The base model Ruger 10/22 is already a heck of a bargain, but having one come with a 3-9×40 scope mounted at this price just screams perfect first gun. There’s also no quicker way to deal with those pesky squirrels raiding your bird feeder.

Sauer 100 Classic XT 6.5 Creedmoor (Save $557)

The Sauer 100 series was already a good deal for a sub-$1,000 rifle. At this price you practically can’t afford not to get one. The action on the Sauer 100 is super smooth and the round feed from the magazine with a glassy assurance. They also deliver good accuracy.

FN FN15 DMR3 Gray (Save $750)

This might be the steal of the season. The FN15 DMR is a super capable 18-inch .223/5.56 NATO, and this one has the added appeal of a sexy tungsten gray finish.

Savage Axis II in 6.5 Creedmoor (Save $150)

The new generation of Savage Axis rifles, the Gen II, arrived about a year ago. It has a bunch of upgrades over the first generation and for the price you won’t find a better deal than this.
