Hunting rifles

Everyone who values precision (and that is every single shooter) knows that rifles can boast unparalleled accuracy, hardly reachable for handguns and unattainable for shotguns. Originally named rifle guns, rifles are long-barreled firearms that have grooved (rifled) bore walls. They are the primary choice for any hunter and are widely used by range shooters. The variety of actions and calibers makes rifles the most diversified firearm category. Bolt-action rifles are frequent fliers in hunters’ arsenals. Lever action is another type of firearm action that is dominated by rifles. Even though bolt-action rifles outperformed lever-action ones, modern technologies gave levers another chance to enter the race and become competitive once again. Henry Repeating Firearms, Mossberg, and Marlin are currently the main manufacturers of lever-action rifles. Pump-action rifles assimilate shotgun-dominated action to bring its users the fastest operation of all three types. They also generate little recoil and thus don’t throw the gun off the aim. The primary producers of pump-action rifles are Marlin, Browning, and Remington. Semi-automatic rifles are a new generation of self-loading firearms that bring shooters unmatched fire rates and reduced recoil.
