What kind of rifle is best for the Practical Rifle course?
The Practical Rifle course is designed to make you as good as you want to be with the rifle of your choice. Any weapon system that will hold a hand-sized group out to 200 yards is adequate. Keep in mind that the Practical Rifle course is a physically demanding course, so a lightweight, ergonomic rifle goes a long way towards reducing fatigue. Students have brought many different types of rifles though the course from lever actions and bolt guns to semi-autos. At Front Sight we believe it is the operator, not the rifle, which determines how well you will perform either in this course or in the field.
