American Rifleman is the official publication of the National Rifle Association(NRA).

History

Arthur Corbin Gould, an avid shooter and member of the Massachusetts Rifle Association, published The Rifle in 1885. The Rifle was the forerunner to the NRA's The Rifleman, later American Rifleman. Gould later authored Modern American pistol and revolver, including a description of modern pistols and revolvers of American make; ammunition used in these arms; results accomplished; and shooting rules followed by American marksmen as well as Modern American Rifles.

Lee Harvey Oswald killed US President John F. Kennedy with a rifle purchased from an ad in the February 1963 issue of American Rifleman.
