The M1 Garand: the rifle that does it all

The M1 Garand was the standard U.S. infantry rifle in World War II, a .30-06 semi-automatic fed by an eight-round en bloc clip that ejects with a distinctive ping. General Patton called it the greatest battle implement ever devised. It is heavy, durable and accurate, and it remains a popular collector and range rifle.

Why people still shoot it

  • Durable and accurate: a rugged rifle that still shoots well decades later.
  • Historic feel: it is a hands-on piece of American military history.
  • Classic handling: the weight helps tame recoil from the .30-06.

Gear for your Garand

Look for .30-06 ammo at Natchez and True Shot Ammo. Keep it clean with supplies from Brownells, and wear ShellShock electronic hearing protection on the line.

For more on the rifle, see our history and features overview of the M1 Garand below.

Beretta BRX1 straight pull rifle

See the Beretta BRX1 in action to understand how this straight pull rifle functions. This video gives you a close look at the bolt mechanism and stock design, and it is aimed at shooters interested in the mechanics of a modern bolt-action rifle, whether you are considering a purchase or are simply curious about the engineering.

  • Faster cycling: the motion is quick and keeps your cheek on the stock and eyes on the target.
  • Different feel: if you are used to a traditional bolt rifle, it takes a little practice.

My most accurate rifle

This Remington 700 Alpha 1 dropped into an MDT LSS Gen3 chassis, with a Telson Optics scope and a SIG Sauer suppressor, might be the most accurate rifle I own.
