Welcome to the rifle shooting section of ShootingUK, where we discuss rifles, rifle shooting and the art of putting holes in things from a respectable distance. Whether you’re agonising over rifle calibre choices or trying to master rifle shooting techniques that don’t involve blaming the wind, you’re in the right place.
Our rifle content spans everything from deer stalking rifles to target shooting rifles, plus those crucial decisions like rifle scope selection that can make or break your day in the field. We cover rifle reviews (the honest kind), rifle maintenance tips that actually work, and rifle accuracy advice that goes beyond “just shoot better.”
From your first rifle purchase – that mix of excitement and mild terror – to understanding why your mate’s rifle bullet choice is definitely wrong and yours is definitely right, we’ve got you covered. Bolt action rifles, straight pull rifles, rifle optics, zeroing techniques, and all the gear that seemed essential at the time. Our rifle features come from shooters who’ve made the mistakes so you don’t have to.
