How to unlock the Rockin' the Rifle achievement in Sniper Elite 4 - Definitive Guide
This will come in time, as it's hard to avoid getting rifle kills in Sniper Elite, what with it being a sniper game and all.
If you don't have the DLC weapons, I recommend either the Carcano or the Springfield. Both are powerful, balanced rifles. Of the two I prefer the Carcano, but the Springfield has easier to unlock upgrades. My favorite rifle overall is the extremely OP silenced De Lisle from the Silent Weapons Warfare DLC pack. However, it is very weak, even after getting the (not easy to unlock) damage upgrade.

Your sniper rifle will be your main weapon of choice, so this should be done by the time you even finish the story. If you have everything but this simply load up any mission on Cadet and grind out the remaining kills.
Your rifle is the main weapon of a sniper. They come in different varieties (bolt-action vs. semi-automatic) and have different attributes. To unlock this achievement you need to cumulatively kill 500 enemies with any combination of the rifles listed below throughout all game modes.
To check your progress, press then navigate to Service Record > Statistics > Kills and look under the ‘Weapon Kills’ heading look for ‘Total Rifle.’
Note: This will unlock whether you use regular ammo or suppressed ammo. The latter can be purchased from the loadout screen for $4 and be assigned to your loadout.
