Rifle hunting is one of the best moments for the hunters as it is the combination of ethical sportsmanship in connection with nature. 

Qualities of Best Hunting Rifle:

The best hunting rifles must have the following qualities for sure,

• Action Types

• Barrels

• Stocks

• Triggers

• Rifle scope

Action Types:

The action performed by the rifle is usually described in terms of bolt action, pump action, lever action, etc.

In big game hunting, world bolt action mostly dominates. In bolt action types, cartridges are fed in two types of magazines, fixed or removable.

Barrels:

Barrels usually describe the caliber of rifles bore in millimeters or inches. Modern-day propellants generally come in short barrels 22- to 24-inches long.

The heavier the barrel, the less it heats up, but this may affect the accuracy.

Barrels usually come in different contours from No.1 to No.6. 

• No.2 and 3 are the standard one 

• No.1 light sporter

• No.4 comes with a taper and is usually considered heavy barrel 

• No. 5 and 6 with little or no taper and are called bull barrels

Stocks:

Rifles stocks come in two different forms,

• Wood stocks

• Synthetic stocks

Wood Stocks:

Wood stocks are the traditional ones. Wood stocks have many thin layers bonded together at high pressures with epoxy, resulting in a dense, stable composite.

Synthetic Stocks:

Synthetic stocks were first introduced in the 1960s by Chet Brown. The synthetic stocks are made of materials like

• Fiberglass

• Kevlar

• Graphite

• Boron

• Urethane

• Plastics

Triggers:

Rifle’s triggers are also as significant as other factors. The clean trigger break is substantial for accurate rifle shooting. The trigger break mostly comes in between 2-7 lbs, while 3-5 lbs are the standard adjustment break for the triggers. 

Rifle scope:

A high-quality rifle scope is paramount for better accuracy no matter where you are shooting and which rifle you are using. Variable power scopes are precise, rugged and the best choice.

The 3-9X and 2.5-10X classes are perfect for big game hunting.
