The Most Underrated Rifles & Shotguns Today
Many guns are soaring high in the market today.
But undeniably, there are those that fail to make the cut.
Of course, the success or shortcoming of a particular firearm depends on various factors.
From marketing to the economy, these things can influence the overall run of firearms.
But sometimes, some guns fail, even if they are packed with high-quality designs, affordable
pricing, and innovative features.
It is an interesting case, but it happens from time to time.
Hello everyone.

SRM Arms 1216 One of the major issues that many shotguns
suffer from today is capacity.
Technically speaking, most shotguns may only hold a few rounds.
So if you are searching for a high-capacity workhorse, you should check out the SRM Arms
1216.
Indicative of its name, this shotgun has a total capacity of 16 rounds.
It is being held by a rotating tubular magazine that you can detach whenever you want to.
Keep in mind that detachable box magazines on shotguns can become quirky.
For instance, if you are going to leave the shells in the box magazine for extended periods,
they might disfigure.
With a tubular magazine, this issue no longer exists.
And that is what the SRM Arms 1216 is offering to you.
The SRM Arms 1216 has been active in production since 2011.
It is even older than the IWI TS12 by a couple of years.
It is not only the detachable tubular magazine that makes this shotgun great.
The SRM Arms 1216 is also semi-automatic.
Fresh from the factory, the gun is already compatible with different accessories.
Moreover, it utilizes a quasi-bullpup action.
Because of this design, its length is minimized.
Handling becomes better, and hitting targets is a lot easier.
Notably, the SRM Arms 1216 also lets its users configure its setup for left- or right-handed
operation.
It even has a roller-delayed system, which is similar to the MP5.
Surely, the integration of different features makes the SRM Arms 1216 a little bit weird.
But since it works, then I have no problems with it.
This weapon deserves more praise.
It is a certified combat shotgun!
Stevens Model 77E When it comes to budget shotguns, the Mossberg
Maverick 88 remains to be the top choice of shooters.
Of course, this is not a new thing to us, as both Remington and Mossberg have been making
budget-friendly shotguns.
However, if you want an excellent, equally impressive alternative that many people haven't
heard of, then you should pick the Stevens Model 77E.
Well, some people know the Stevens Model 77E because it was the shotgun used in the Vietnam
War.
And that should give you a clue.
Since it has been used by the military, then there's a good chance that its quality isn't
just run-of-the-mill.
This weapon isn't just an ordinary shotgun; it is downright robust and reliable.
The receivers of this shotgun are made from steel.
They are rugged and strong.
Furthermore, it features nice-looking wooden furniture.
This shotgun also offers fantastic action and tight lock-up.
It is impervious to slop, based on various tests.
It operates smoothly and doesn't suffer from flaws.
It even features a large ejection port.
It guarantees that the shells clear the shotgun while ejecting safely.
Overall, the Stevens Model 77E has excellent construction.
Its features and specifications will not place in the budget category if it is released in
2022.
Fortunately, there are still used Stevens Model 77E shotguns available in the market.
If you are lucky, you can find them being sold at reasonable prices.
CZ 527 Carbine The CZ 527 Carbine is a lovely weapon.
And I think that it being underrated is quite preposterous.
Of course, I know that the majority of the bolt guns of CZ are underrated, and that's
quite disappointing.
The CZ 527 is actually an extensive line.
But its Carbine variant is truly captivating.
CZ manufactured the 527 Carbine in both the 7.62x39mm and .223 Remington versions.
Despite being tough looking, the CZ 527 Carbine is actually lightweight.
It only weighs less than six pounds.
Furthermore, this rifle includes iron sights.
And we all know that iron sights and bolt guns are a match made in heaven.
This particular rifle also enables you to mount your favorite optics.
Meanwhile, its 18.5-inch barrel enhances the overall performance of the .223 Remington
rounds.
This rifle can easily push the rounds in almost their top velocities.
Its wooden stock is not just durable; it is also good-looking.
And surprisingly enough, the CZ 527 Carbine is priced in the entry-level range.
It is a high-quality rifle but will never bust your wallet empty.
The .223 Remington variant of the CZ 527 Carbine is a certified tack driver.
But then again, inexpensive steel remains to be inexpensive steel.
But that's a given, considering its price.
However, this unit cycles steel cases without any problems.
I could say that the CZ 527 Carbine is a great option for hunting medium-sized games.
It deserves your attention, similar to other CZ rifles.
Steyr AUG The Steyr AUG has a unique-looking design.
One could say that the inspiration behind this gun is actually sci-fi movies, which
is no longer surprising if that's actually the case.
This particular bullpup rifle features numerous polymer parts.
It also has an integral optic that looks undeniably cool.
Furthermore, it is interesting to note that the Steyr AUG gained some popularity in Asian,
South American, and European countries.
However, it didn't land well in the United States.
There is a small group of American Steyr AUG fanatics out there.
But their membership is too limited for a great gun like this.
Based on specifications, the Steyr AUG is a 5.56-caliber, semi-automatic rifle.
While it isn't new anymore, it is still able to keep up with the modern transitions in
the world of firearms.
Today, the latest Steyr AUGs either come with integral optics or the ability to install
new optics with its top rail.
Furthermore, this weapon also has rails for lasers, lights, and other desirable rifle
accessories.
It is also worth noting that Steyr managed to make a variant that accommodates standard
AR-15 magazines.
One of its key features is its quick detach barrel.
You can remove its barrel and change it without the need for any tools.
You have the option to mount SBR-length barrels and 20-inch barrels to this rifle without
a fuss.
Aside from its modular architecture, the Steyr AUG offers reliability and accuracy.
And the mere fact that it is compact tells that the gun is easy to maneuver.
It is a great option for a home-defense gun.
Remington 788 The Remington 788 was constructed in 1967.
It was presented as a suitable alternative to the much more expensive Remington 700.
Of course, many didn't expect too much from this rifle.
However, the gun has exceeded the expectations of everyone.
Perhaps the team that handled its production was too zealous in ensuring that the rifle
didn't suck.
The Remington 788 is equipped with a distinct bolt.
Instead of being lugged in the front, the bolt was placed in the rear.
Moreover, there are nine lugs divided into three rows.
So technically, each row has three lugs that lock the receiver.
Because of this, you only need to rotate the bolt by 60 degrees so that you can unlock
it.
So what's so special about a 60-degree bolt lift?
The thing is, it enables you to operate the gun more conveniently.
Furthermore, it provides better clearance so that you can accommodate your low-mounted
optics.
With this design from the Remington 788, the travel of the bolt is drastically reduced.
Interestingly, the Remington 788 features a robust receiver.
Such a feat is enabled due to the minimal number of materials taken out for the ejection
port.
The receiver is small; at the same time, its front doesn't need bolt lug raceways.
Moreover, its single-stack magazine indicates that it has a small magazine well.
With a small magazine well, only fewer materials are removed from the rifle's receiver.
With a better and stronger receiver, the Remington 788 guarantees accuracy.
Technically, many say that it is more accurate than the Remington 700.
Aside from the standard chamberings, such as the .223 and 308, the Remington 788 is
also available in unconventional rifle calibers, such as the 6mm Remington and .44 Magnum.
And that completes our list.
