A rifle is “A shoulder fired gun having a barrel length of at least 16 inches with rifling in the barrels bore, or a barrel having a rifled bore.”

Semi-Automatic Rifle

Semi-Auto Rifle
Pulling back the operating handle allows you to open the action on your semi-auto rifle. Semi-Auto rifles vary when comparing. Some semi-auto rifles don’t lock open when checking the chamber requiring you to hold it open. Most semi-autos, however, lock open when the magazine is empty when you pull the slide or bolt back. If your rifle does not lock open then it is ready to fire because the cartridge from the magazine has already gone into the chamber. Removing the magazine and then locking the action open will allow you to unload your rifle. Make sure to visually check to ensure that your rifle is unloaded. Semi-automatic rifles require you to pull the trigger each time you fire a shot.
*Preferred for: Hunting and Tactical/ Military shooting.

Bolt Action Rifle

Bolt Action Rifle
Lifting the handle and pulling it to the rear of your bolt action rifle allows you to open the action. To ensure your rifle is unloaded, visually check the magazine and open action for additional shot shells or cartridges. The cartridge will eject from the rifle as you pull the bolt to the back of the gun if the rifle is loaded. For safety precautions, store your rifle and bolt separately.
*Preferred for: Hunting, Target Shooing, and Snipers.

Single Shot Rifle

Single Shot Rifle
A single shot or break action rifle is typically shorter among other rifles making it more compact. Always make sure your single shot rifle is pointed in a safe direction. To open, grip the stock that is behind the trigger guard and press in the release causing the barrel to drop down. The cartridges will then eject or allow you to manually remove them if the rifle is still loaded.
*Preferred for: Beginner Shooters and Hunting.

Lever Action Rifle

Lever Action Rifle
Pushing the lever down or forward will allow you to open the action. By doing so, the cartridge case is being extracted from the chamber and therefore ejects it. To unload your lever action rifle, push the lever down and forward continuously until there are no more cartridges being ejected. To ensure your lever action rifle is unloaded, which can be hard to determine, visually check the magazine and chamber for cartridges. To ensure safety when using your lever action rifle, keep your hands clear form the trigger when working then lever action, and always be cautious of models that feature an exposed hammer.
*Preferred for: Hunting and Sport Shooting.

Muzzleloader Rifle

Muzzleloading Rifle
Muzzleloading rifles were given their name because they are loaded at the open end of the rifle, muzzle. If you plan on shooting for competition purposes or hunting game, flintlock and percussion locks are the most desirable choice among muzzle loaders, generally lighter, more reliable, easy to maintain and inexpensive. The only type of powder that should be used in your muzzle rifle is black powder, with the exception of some synthetics. Loading a muzzleloader requires the muzzle to be pointed upward. Always position the butt of the rifle on the ground between your feet, keeping the muzzle pointed away from your body. To check your rifle barrel if it is loaded use a ramrod with an empty or unloaded indicator.
*Preferred for: Target shooting, Hunting, Historical Re-enactment and Research.
