8 Great Centerfire Rifles for Under $1,000

By Brad Fitzpatrick

Several new centerfire rifles were launched at SHOT Show 2017, and this year’s class of guns is more diverse than at any time in recent memory.

If you have a grand and you’re looking to add a new rifle to the stable, here’s what $1,000 will buy you in 2017.
