Question: 1 / 400

When sighting in a rifle, what is the first step after ensuring the rifle is not loaded?

Adjust the scope to its highest magnification

Fire a test shot at a close-range target

Secure the rifle in a steady rest

The first step after ensuring that the rifle is not loaded is to secure it in a steady rest. This is important because it allows for a controlled and stable shooting base, which is necessary for accurate sighting in. Adjusting the scope to its highest magnification, firing a test shot, and changing the safety to 'fire' are not the first steps as they require a secure and steady rifle to be effective. These steps should only be taken after the rifle is properly secured.
