Ask us about our centrefire rifles today

Centrefire rifles use centrefire cartridges as ammunition. The primer is, as the name suggests, situated in the centre of the head of the cartridge case. This is as opposed to rimfire cartridges, where the firing pin strikes the rim of the bullet casing. One advantage of centrefire ammo is that  cartridges can be reused if new primer is loaded. Rimfire ammo cannot be reloaded.

Who Uses Centrefire Rifles?

Centrefire rifles carry larger and heavier ammunition; they are also louder and cause greater recoil than a rimfire rifle. However, they are capable of greater accuracy over a longer range. This makes them more appealing than rimfire rifles for individuals who plan to hunt deer and shoot targets.

 A centrefire rifle, and indeed its ammunition, is likely to cost more than rimfire alternatives. They’re often bought, therefore, by those who already have some experience in shooting, rather than beginners who are still finding their feet. But that’s by no means written in stone.
