TOP 5 SELLING RIFLES & CARBINES
As popular as polymer is, it’s pretty rare to see an all-polymer upper and lower AR-15, much less one that absolutely crushed the competition to be the unquestionable best seller for the rifle category. ETS Arms’ Plum Crazy polymer AR had an almost inescapable lead, helped by a sub-$400 price tag.
Coming in at number two was a gun that took 2022 by storm with the news of its release, the Marlin 1895 Trapper. We love a good lever gun here at Guns.com, and the brand-new-for-2022 Marlin Trapper turned a lot of heads. Coming in third was another new gun – Ruger’s SFAR in .308 – and it probably had a nice helping hand from a stellar review we did from our experience with the .308 AR-platform rifle. Closing out the list was another Marlin lever, the 1895 Guide Gun, closely followed by the HM Defense AR-style rifle. All in all, it was a pretty unique showing of lever-action and semi-auto rifles to end 2022, and you really couldn’t go wrong with any of the choices.
Special mention for Henry, which may not have had an individual gun get on the list, but by far had the most variety of overall top sellers for the month. Folks were definitely in the mood for lever guns last month.
