Rifles for Sale

Find Every Type of Rifle in One Place

Gunstar’s rifle category brings together nearly every kind of rifle a shooter might need. You’ll find bolt-action rifles known for their reliability and precision, ideal for deer stalking and long-range target shooting. Classic lever-action rifles are also featured, popular among traditionalists and gallery shooters. For those seeking speed and efficiency, modern semi-automatic rifles offer quick follow-up shots, making them perfect for target competitions.

We also cater to niche preferences. Whether you’re after a single-shot rifle for accuracy or a pump-action model for fast-paced plinking, there’s likely an option for you. Air rifles are well-represented too, from high-powered FAC models to sub-12 ft·lb variants that don’t require a licence, great for pest control or garden target practice. In short, from vintage classics to modern tactical rifles, new or used, Gunstar offers a full spectrum of rifle types available in the UK.

Rimfire, Centrefire & Intended Use

To help you find exactly what you need, you can filter rifles by calibre and purpose. If you’re after a small-calibre rimfire rifle for vermin control or casual target shooting, there’s no shortage of .22 LR and .17 HMR models, popular among plinkers and pest managers.

For more power, explore our range of centrefire rifles, including calibres from .223 Rem up to .308 Win and beyond. These are well-suited for foxing, deer stalking, and larger game. Many UK stalkers favour bolt-action rifles chambered in .243 or .308, both of which are commonly available on Gunstar.

If precision and distance are your focus, browse our specialised setups for long-range and target shooting. These include heavy-barrel centrefire rifles in calibres like 6.5 Creedmoor, as well as premium rimfire target rifles. Whether you’re knocking down steel plates at 100 yards, managing pests, or pursuing deer in the highlands, our listings are tailored to your shooting needs. Each ad includes full specifications to help you find the right tool for the job.

Top Brands and Quality Options

Just like other leading UK gun sites, we showcase rifles from top-tier brands to ensure quality and choice. Our inventory includes trusted names like Remington, Ruger, Tikka, Sako, Browning, CZ, and Anschutz, manufacturers known for durability and accuracy.

These brands cover a wide range of needs, from reliable entry-level models to high-performance precision rifles. You might come across a Ruger 10/22 for budget-friendly semi-auto shooting, a classic Browning T-Bolt or CZ bolt-action for small-game hunting, or a premium Tikka or Sako rifle often used by UK deer stalkers.

We also feature specialist and historic models, making Gunstar a great place for collectors and enthusiasts to find unique or rare pieces. Listings are posted by our active shooting community, which means you’ll see well-maintained second-hand rifles alongside brand-new options from dealers. We encourage buyers to carefully review each ad, using the provided photos and specifications, to make an informed and confident purchase.

Buying Considerations (UK Regulations and Safety)

Buying a rifle in the UK requires attention to legal responsibilities, and Gunstar is built to support safe, compliant transactions. For Section 1 firearms (such as most rifles), you must hold a valid UK firearms certificate (FAC). This must be shown when purchasing from a dealer or another certificate holder.

Some rifles do not require a licence, including most low-power air rifles and certain antique or obsolete calibre models. Sellers usually state whether an FAC is required in each listing. Always confirm the legal status of any rifle before purchase.

Gunstar connects buyers and sellers but does not handle transactions directly. Once you’ve found the rifle you want, the sale is completed according to UK law, usually face-to-face through a Registered Firearms Dealer (RFD) or via courier to your local RFD. Always follow legal procedures strictly to ensure safety and peace of mind.

If you’re new to buying firearms, our community and resources are here to help. Don’t hesitate to seek advice on navigating the process.

Finding Exactly What You Need

Our aim is to help you quickly locate the exact rifle you want. Gunstar’s filtering system makes this simple. You can narrow your search by subcategory, such as viewing only Lever Action Rifles for Sale, if that’s your focus.
