Go Shooting Rifles
The most important rule of gun handling...
NEVER POINT ANY GUN, LOADED OR UNLOADED, IN AN UNSAFE DIRECTION
NEVER POINT ANY GUN, LOADED OR UNLOADED, IN AN UNSAFE DIRECTION
Rifles can be used for live quarry or target shooting.
You will need a section 1 Firearms Certificate to aquire, posses and shoot a rifle in the UK.
A basic introduction to Firearm Certificates
Section 1 Firearms Certificates (FAC) are issued by your local police authority. You must show a specific purpose (i.e. good reason) why you should be allowed to own and use a Section 1 firearm (rifle). For example these reasons could include .22 calibre for rabbiting or target shooting, .177 HMR for vermin control, .243 for foxing or .308 for deer stalking or target shooting etc. The police need to be satisfied with your reasons and you need to show that you are a safe and responsible person - if not, they do not have to grant a Firearms Certificate. Firearms Certificates are very specific and will normally be issued with restrictions. So if you are issued with a FAC for .308 calibre specifically for target shooting you will be committing an offence if found using it for deer stalking. A Firearms Certificate allows the holder to only posses the exact calibre, number and type of rifles specified on the licence and will also outline the purpose for which each may be used.
For more details and further information on firearms certificates please contact the firearms department of your local police authority.

Rifles & how they work - A basic introduction.
A rifle fires a metal cased cartridge (ammunition), that contains a measure of explosive powder and a single shaped projectile (bullet), down a "rifled" (grooved) barrel. The "rifling" or grooves in the barrel twist clockwise or anti-clockwise. The "rifling" or grooves grip the bullet and cause it to spin before leaving the end of the barrel (muzzle). The resultant gyroscopic effect imparts stability into the bullet enabling it to follow a stable and more accurate trajectory. Rifle bullets come in various sizes (calibres) from as small as .177 inches in diameter up to .5 inches in diameter. There are two types of rifle cartridge (ammunition):
1) Centrefire cartridge: this refers to how explosive powder is detonated. In the centrefire cartridge a sharp impact sensitive "detonator cap," commonly called a "primer," is positioned "centrally" in the end of the cartridge case. When the trigger is pulled it releases a spring loaded firing pin that strikes the "primer" which ignites the main explosive powder "charge".
2) Rimfire cartridge: this cartridge does not contain a separate detonator cap or "primer". The entire end "rim" of the cartridge contains the "primer" which is sensitive to sharp impact. When the firing pin strikes anywhere on the rim of the cartridge the primer ignites the explosive charge in the cartridge.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF RIFLE CONSTRUCTION
Manual actions: (Bolt action, Lever action, Pump action).
There are a number of mechanical components and details that are common to all rifles including the "barrel", "trigger" "cartridge chamber", "firing pin" and the "stock" which incorporates the "butt" and a "forend". The main difference can be found in the "action". This is the component structure that allows the rifle to eject a fired or "spent" cartridge from the "cartridge chamber" and be loaded with a fresh cartridge each time the rifle is fired.
The "cartridge chamber" is a tubular section at the rear of the barrel which is specially shaped to perfectly fit the "case" of a specific calibre of cartridge.
The "action" is positioned behind the open end of the chamber and contains a moving block (usually sliding) or bolt, that when locked in position holds the cartridge firmly in place ready to be fired.
The moving "block" contains the firing pin. When the action is operated, either manually by the shooter or automatically, as in the case of a semi-auto, a firing pin is set to the "armed" position. When the trigger is pulled the firing pin strikes the cartridge primer to fire the cartridge. The sliding block in a "bolt action" rifle is usually cylindrical in shape and incorporates a handle. The shooter uses the "bolt handle" to cycle the bolt backwards and forwards in the "slider" part of the action. In "lever action", "semi-autos" and "pump action" rifles the "sliding block" is usually rectangular in cross section, and it again moves backwards and forwards in the slider part of the "action".
The following descriptions of "manual action" rifles are based on rifles that have a built in magazine capable of holding a number of cartridges or rounds of ammunition. Each time the action is explained it is therefore assumed that a fresh round is drawn from the magazine enabling a number of rounds to be fired in quick succession. A manual action rifle requires a physical action from the shooter to reload the rifle after each time it is fired.

A manual action rifle requires a physical action from the shooter to reload the rifle after each time it is fired.
There are three types of manual action:
BOLT ACTION (loading & Reloading)
This is where a "sliding bolt" is pulled backwards to extract a fired (spent) cartridge and then pushed forward to collect a fresh cartridge from the "magazine" and insert it in the "cartridge chamber". This sequence also "sets" the spring loaded "firing pin" and arms the rifle.

LEVER ACTION RIFLE
A "lever" is operated in an "up and down" motion to move the "slider block" backwards and forwards in the "action". This ejects the spent cartridge, collects a fresh cartridge from the magazine and pushes it into position in the cartridge chamber. The "firing pin" is contained within the sliding block, but, instead of being "spring powered" as in the bolt action (above) it uses a "striker" or "hammer" to strike the firing pin when the trigger is pulled. The "hammer" is automatically reset into the "armed" or "cocked"position when the lever action is operated.

PUMP ACTION OR SLIDE ACTION RIFLES
The "forend" (pump) is pulled backwards and pushed forward by the shooter to move the "slider block" backwards and forwards in the "action". A fresh cartridge is collected from the "magazine" and placed in the "cartridge chamber". The firing pin, which is contained in the "sliding block", is automatically reset to the armed position when the block cycles forward.

Double rifles:
These are almost exclusively used for big game hunting and are designed for very powerful cartridges.
They have a completely different construction and "action" to a bolt lever or semi-auto system.
They are loaded and unloaded in the same way as double barrelled, side by side shotguns. A thumb operated lever releases the barrel locking system, allowing it to hinge downwards from a pivot point just forward of the trigger. When the barrel is hinged down the spent cartridges are ejected leaving the cartridge chambers empty and ready to receive fresh rounds. There is no magazine with this type of rifle and fresh cartridges have to be inserted by the shooter each time the gun is fired.
When the barrels are hinged back upwards they lock back into place in the "armed" position. The firing pins (strikers) are contained in the part of the gun immediately above the trigger(s). When the barrel is hinged downwards and then "snapped" back into the firing position the firing pins (strikers) are automatically reset into armed and ready to fire position.

Semi-Automatic Rifles (Blowback or gas operated)
Semi-automatic rifles are manufactured in many different calibres but only those designed for .22 rimfire ammunition can legally be aquired or used in the UK.
Semi-automatic rifles use the recoil (or energy) from when the round is fired (blowback), or part of the energy contained in the high pressure gases present in the barrel before the bullet exits from the muzzle (gas operated), to operate the unloading and re-loading action. The action takes the form of a spring loaded, sliding block situated at the back end of the barrel, immediately behind the cartridge chamber. Semi-automatic rifles have magazines that can contain anywhere up to and around 20 rounds of ammunition. In the "armed" position the sliding block would be fully forward holding a live round in position in the cartridge chamber. When the gun is fired, some of the energy from the fired round (recoil), or some of the energy from the gasses in the barrel, pushes the sliding block backwards against a spring, at the same time ejecting the spent round out of the gun. The spring then pushes the block forwards, re-setting the firing pin and at the same time collecting a fresh round from the magazine and pushing it into position in the cartridge chamber. The trigger then has to be pulled again to fire the next round. The whole cycle takes only a fraction of a second enabling a number of rounds to be fired in very quick succession.

Rifle Calibres
The term calibre refers to the diameter of the bullet (projectile) and therefore also to the diameter of the hole through the barrel.
There is not the space available here to go into all of the different calibres, but for those of you that wish to delve deeper, please go to the following links.

Rifles in the UK website – "choosing a centrefire calibre" –
Rifles in the UK website – "rimfire cartridges" –
Rifles in the UK website – "bullet types" –
Rifles tend to be produced for very specific tasks where elements such as effective range, hitting power, accuracy, rate of fire and other factors all have to be taken into consideration. For example a sniper rifle would need to provide incredible accuracy and power at ranges of up to 1000 metres, where one needed to shoot rabbits or vermin at 10-40 metres would only need a fraction of the power.
There are numerous calibres, all designed with a specific task in mind. Rather than try and list them all here I recommend you visit an excellent website; www.riflesintheuk.com For the section on rifle calibres

TARGET SHOOTING WITH RIFLES
There are a number of different target shooting disciplines but they all have one thing in common – for the shooter to achieve the highest possible level of consistent accuracy.
Target shooting can be done at club level, national and international level. Practice opportunities and facilities are plentiful in the UK with some shooters actually preferring only to shoot at such sessions without taking part in formal competitions.

Prone position shooting using .22 rimfire match rifles
Match Target shooting with .22 rimfire calibre rifles (The "Olympic" sport)
The .22 calibre rifle fires a relatively small "rimfire" round which has a more limited range than the larger calibre "centrefire" rounds. Nevertheless it is extremely accurate with the difference between a winning score and a place being measured by as little as just a few milimetres or even fractions of a milimeter!

.22 Semi-automatic tactical rifle and western style lever action gallery rifles
Gallery rifle with .22 rimfire and "Pistol Calibre" rifles
Gallery rifle uses lever action .22 and larger centrefire pistol calibre rifles as well as semi-automatic .22 calibre rifles (mini tactical). Shooters can use "aperture sights", "red-dot sights" or "rifle scopes". Competitors shoot at distances from around 15 metres up to 50 metres and sometimes greater, at targets that may be fixed and facing the shooter or turning targets that are only exposed for a pre-set or random period of time. Firing has to be done within a limited time frame.
The NSRA (National Small Bore Rifle Association) is the umbrella organisation for .22 calibre shooting. Gallery rifle is referred to by them as "LIGHTWEIGHT SPORT RIFLE". The NRA (National Rifle Association) is the umbrella organisation for "Gallery Rifle" competitions using larger pistol calibre ammunition than .22.

Full bore rifle target shooting
Technically the term "full bore" applies to single shot, typically 7.62 (.308 Winchester) calibre rifles, which use "iron aperture" sights, (no rifle scopes allowed), with shooting in the prone position at ranges from 300 to 1000 yards. However the description "full bore rifle" is commonly used for all types of centrefire rifles larger than .22 calibre, but does not include rifles that use pistol calibre ammunition.

Full bore target shooting with historic military rifles
Shooters in this type of target sport use historic military rifles which include classics such as the .303 WW2 British Enfield, the German Mauser 98 or even the legendary 7.62 Russian Mosin Nagant. These are generally fired from a "bench" in the sitting position or "prone" in the lying down position at distances of from around 100 – 600 yards. Preferred sights tend to be the original iron "aperture" or "open" military sights or authentic period optics.

Modern full bore target shooting
There are a number of different classes in this category but all use adapted factory and military rifles or specially built "custom" rifles.
Some categories of competition will be shot from the prone position and others from a "bench" (table) with the shooter in a sitting position. Target distances can include 100, 300, 600 and 1000 yards. Powerful rifle scopes are used for "sighting" on the target and depending on the class or category of competitions a "bipod" or "bench rest" rig is used to support and steady the forend of the rifle. A "bipod" consists of two adjustable legs that transfer the weight of the rifle to either the ground or the "bench". A "bench rest" rig is a micro-adjustable substantial, solid, and very stable platform for supporting the forend of the rifle.

Live Quarry Shooting
Wild animals can decimate or cause serious damage to food crops - over population can result in disease and starvation - rodents and other pests can cause damage to property and spread disease. Shooting is used to either manage population and limit or eradicate problems. Whether stalking deer, or shooting other smaller pests, there are rules and procedures that must be observed. In any event the shooter must have respect for live quarry and act humanely at all times.

In any event the shooter must have respect for live quarry and act humanely at all times.
Before attempting to shoot live quarry you must:
1) Develop a high level of shooting competence and accuracy by practising on artificial targets – NEVER PRACTICE ON LIVE QUARRY.
2) Learn field craft and be guided by an experienced live quarry shooter before going out on your own.
3) Study and understand the law, and codes of practice pertaining to your particular choice of shooting. IGNORANCE OF THE LAW IS NO EXCUSE AND HARSH PENALTIES CAN APPLY TO ANYONE FOUND TO BE IN CONTRAVENTION.
