The .350 Legend cartridge has earned a strong reputation for its balance of power, low recoil, and straight-wall cartridge compliance. It's quickly become a favorite for hunters in states with caliber restrictions, as well as for anyone seeking a lightweight, hard-hitting round for medium-range deer hunting.

In this guide, we’ve broken down the best .350 Legend rifles of 2025 from top-tier performers to high-value options so you can make the right choice for your hunting needs.

What to Look for in a .350 Legend Rifle

Action Type

Choose between traditional bolt-action rifles for reliability or semi-automatic models for faster shooting. Bolt-actions are typically more accurate, but semi-autos like the Bravo Zulu offer rapid follow-ups and tactical flexibility.

Suppressor Compatibility

Many modern rifles now include threaded barrels, making them suppressor-ready for reduced noise and recoil especially useful in tight blinds or thick timber.

Budget

Rifles range from about $300 to $1,300. The mid-range price bracket ($500–$750) tends to offer the best mix of performance and value for most hunters.

Accuracy

All tested models delivered solid performance, with average group sizes between 1.3 and 2.3 inches at 100 yards. For deer-sized game inside 250 yards, these numbers are more than adequate.

Intended Use

Your hunting setup should match your environment. Compact rifles are better for tree stands or mobile setups, while heavier-barreled rifles offer stability for longer shots in open fields.
