Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Decide what type of Remington rifle you want to purchase. Remington brand rifles include repeating rifles, shotgun-rifle combination firearms, rifles tailored especially for left-handed shooters and rifles sized for youth.

  2. Step 2

    Purchase a used Remington rifle. The advantage of a used Remington rifle is a lower price. You may also find a rifle that has been out of manufacture if you search for a used firearm. Look in the classified of your local newspaper or on Craigslist.com, an online classified advertisement website searchable by city. Used Remington rifles can also be found at gun shows in your area.

  3. Step 3

    Acquire a new Remington rifle. The advantage of a new Remington rifle is the ability to purchase a rifle with the accessories that fit your unique needs. You also usually receive a warranty with the Remington rifle that you choose. The disadvantage of a new Remington rifle is the price. Expect to pay between $200 and $2,000 for a new Remington rifle, depending on the style of rifle you choose and the accessories that come with the firearm.

  4. Step 4

    Expect a background check when you buy a Remington rifle. Regardless of whether you purchase in person or online, the vendor will check your background. Ensure that if you purchase a Remington rifle online, the vendor follows federal regulations during the transaction. The gun must be shipped to an FFL (federal firearms license) holder.

Tips & Warnings
  • Know that when you buy a used Remington rifle, any warranty left on the rifle most likely won't transfer with new ownership.
  • As with all firearms, follow safety procedures when you use your Remington rifle. When it is not in use, you should use the safety.
