Defensive Rifle Classes
Using a rifle for personal and home defense can be a practical choice, especially for those familiar with its operation and handling. Rifles, particularly in intermediate calibers like .223 or 5.56mm, offer accuracy, range, and reliable stopping power.
Modern sporting rifles, such as AR-15 platforms, are lightweight, customizable, and easy to maneuver, making them suitable for defending larger properties or rural homes.
Additionally, rifles with low-recoil designs and adjustable stocks can be comfortably used by a variety of shooters.
Defensive Rifle 1 – $150
