Rifles specially designed for particular target shooting matches in which artificial supports were not used, originating in Germany in the 15th century and popular in the United States from the early 19th century until the First World War. They are characterized by long, heavy octagonal barrels, often with extra weight at the muzzle, palm rests, double set triggers, thick stocks, and very high quality, accurate sights.
