All rifles →

Elk

Typical shot 150-400 yd, often across a timbered park

A bull elk can weigh 700 pounds and rarely gives a second chance. Most Montana elk hunters carry a magnum or a .30-06 class cartridge with a tough, bonded bullet.

Mule deer

Typical shot 200-450 yd across open ground

Mule deer country east of the Divide is big and open. Flat-shooting, mild-recoiling cartridges make long, steady shots from a pack or bipod easier.

Pronghorn

Typical shot 250-400 yd - the wind is the problem

Pronghorn are small, fast and live where there is nothing to hide behind. Light, high-velocity cartridges and a rifle you can read the wind with do the work.

Whitetail

Typical shot 50-200 yd in cottonwoods and field edges

Whitetails live along the Yellowstone, the Milk and every irrigated valley. Shots are shorter, so lever guns and handy bolt actions come out of the truck.

Predators

Typical shot 100-400 yd at small targets

Coyotes and prairie dogs keep a Montana rifle busy between big-game seasons. Accuracy and a quiet, fast cartridge matter more than power.

Birds

Wingshooting - upland and waterfowl

Pheasants in the Hi-Line wheat, sharptails on the prairie, ruffed grouse in the timber and ducks on the Missouri. A 12 or 20 gauge covers almost all of it.

Lever guns for the river bottoms

05 · Carry

Carrying in Montana

Since 2021 Montana law lets anyone who is eligible to possess a firearm under state or federal law carry concealed without a permit (MCA 45-8-316). Open carry is also lawful for eligible adults. Your county sheriff still issues concealed weapon permits to residents 18 and older with six months of Montana residency and proof of a safety course; state law sets the fee at $50, valid for five years. A permit helps when you travel to states that honor it and in restricted government buildings. Carry is still barred in school buildings and in federal facilities.

An online gun store for Big Sky Country

Firearms Montana is an online store for Montana gun owners. We keep a large, live catalog so you can compare rifles, handguns, shotguns and ammunition by make, caliber and price, then collect your firearm at a licensed Montana dealer you already know. It suits a state where the nearest well-stocked gun counter can be a long drive away.

We stock for the way Montana hunts and shoots: magnum and .30-06 class bolt actions for elk in the timber, flat-shooting 6.5s and .270s for mule deer and pronghorn east of the Divide, lever guns for whitetails in the river bottoms, predator rifles for coyotes and prairie dogs, and 12 and 20 gauges for pheasants on the Hi-Line and ducks on the Missouri. For the rules, read our Montana gun law overview and the town pages, which list the nearest public ranges and hunting districts.
