Top 5 of the Most Expensive Rifles in the World

Let's face it, we all love guns. You wouldn't be here right now if you didn't. But there are some rifles out there that going to be a little more out of reach than others. Why are these guns so expensive? What are these rare rifles you might ask? Well, you've come to the right place, as we're going to break down the top five most expensive rifles in the world and why they command the price tag that they do! Let's get started:

1. Rigby Rising Bite - $250,000

Coming in at number one and easily one of the most expensive rifles to own, the Rigby Rising Bite will cost you roughly a quarter million dollars. Yep, you read that right. This British-made rifle is made with only the finest materials and is amazingly accurate. You'll see plenty of specialized engravings throughout its intricate design, from the walnut to the steel. While mainly a collector's item, don't be fooled. This rifle is as beautiful as it is functional. 

2. Holland & Holland Royal Double Rifle - $200,000

Next on the list we have another British-made rifle, the Holland & Holland Royal Double Rifle. What makes these rifles produced across the pond so expensive? It all comes down to the materials being used and the fact they are hand-crafted. With extreme standards set in place, these rifles are carefully made one at a time from the best English steel and walnut available. You'll also see stylish engravings, which leads to its $200,000 price tag.  

3. Blaser R8 Ultimate - $17,000 to $25,000

Coming down in price, we have the Blaser R8 Ultimate. This German-made rifle may not command the giant prices of the first two, but every bit of accurate and beautiful. With a lightweight design and made from super high-grade materials (carbon fiber and titanium) you can't go wrong with this one. The Blaser R8 Ultimate is available in a few different models and finishes, with prices ranging from $17,000 to $25,000.

4. Sako 85 Carbon Wolf - $4,000 to $7,000

With three big heavy hitters out of the way, let's talk about some rifles that are a little more in reach of your average Joe. While still not cheap by any means, the Sako 85 Carbon Wolf is a Finnish-made rifle that comes in anywhere from $4000 to $7000. Why so much? Well, this hunting rifle is about as accurate as a firearm can be, while still being extremely lightweight thanks to its carbon fiber stock and fluted barrel. As far as quality hunting rifles go, this is easily one of the best. 

5. Barrett MRAD - $5,000 to $8,000

You gotta love a big 50 cal.  The Barrett MRAD is an American-made rifle that is designed for long-range precision shooting, but it's not cheap. Still, the juice might be worth the squeeze on this one because who doesn't love the look of the Barrett? What's even better, there's a wide range of calibers and finishes that you can pick this rifle up in, giving you a price tag of anywhere of $5,000 to $8,000.

And there you have it, 5 of the most expensive rifles in the world. If there's one thing that they all have in common, it's that there's no doubting their craftsmanship and quality. I mean just look at them! Which one of these rifles is your favorite? And if you had the money, would you pick one up for yourself?
