How renting a deer rifle works

  1. Pick your rifle and dates. Rent it for 7 to 30 days. You can book up to one week before your pickup date, so book the week before you hunt.
  2. We ship it to your local FFL dealer. You complete the standard background check and ATF Form 4473 at pickup. The dealer decides eligibility and charges its own transfer fee, typically $20 to $50.
  3. Hunt, then send it back. Return it with the prepaid label. You bring your own ammunition and your state's hunting license.

Deer rifle questions

What is the best caliber for deer hunting?

For most whitetail hunting, .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, .270 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield all work well at normal hunting ranges. Pick the one with the recoil you shoot well and ammunition you can find; shot placement matters more than the caliber.

Is .308 or .270 better for deer?

Both take deer cleanly at normal ranges. The .270 shoots a little flatter; the .308 fits shorter, short-action rifles. On November 2, 2026 we had 90 rifles in .308 and 27 in .270.

Can I rent a rifle just for hunting season?

Yes. Rentals run 7 to 30 days and ship to an FFL dealer near you, so you can rent a rifle for your hunt or try a new caliber for a week.

Do I need a special license to rent a rifle?

No special license. You must be 18 or older for a rifle and pass the background check at your FFL dealer. You still need your state's hunting license and must follow its caliber rules.
