Dorsets supplier of rimfire rifles

Rimfire rifles are built, as the name suggests, to use rimfire ammunition. The difference between rimfire and centrefire ammunition is that in the former, the firing pin hits the bullet case rim rather than the centre. But what does that mean to the new user and which type of gun should you purchase?

Take Advice from an Experienced Gun Shop in Dorset

Rimfire rifles, apart from those specifically manufactured to be targeted towards the higher end of the market, tend to be more modestly priced than their centrefile counterparts. Because of the way a rimfire rifle is built to fire ammunition, it tends to be quieter and offers less recoil when shooting. Other advantages include the ammunition being cheaper to produce and therefore more affordable for the end user to buy. All this makes rimfire rifles better for novices and/or basic firearm training; and for those who are hunting small game or using them for pest control.
