Strategy
The Rifle can kill most enemies with one headshot at close range. However, it requires at least 2 shots to kill at longer distances due to damage falloff, except on classes that boost ranged weapon damage. Note that this is still better than most other ranged weapons, which usually do even lower damage.
Classes that boost ranged weapon damage synergize very well with the Rifle due to allowing even body shots to kill most enemies in one hit. Higher health enemies can also be killed significantly faster.
The Rifle has low bullet spread, allowing you to accurately land shots from great distances. This also allows you to take out most Enemies before they even see you.

Patch history
The Rifle appears to be visually based on the Winchester 1866. However, the receiver appears to be similar to the Winchester 1894 because it has an open receiver cut-out, which is not present on the Winchester 1866.
In real life, the Winchester 1866 can hold up to 17 rounds in the tubular magazine. However, the Rifle in-game can only hold 6 rounds at max. This is assumed to be a balancing feature since it would be very overpowered if it had 17 rounds.
The Rifle is one of the few ranged weapons to have more colors than just the standard wood and metal.
Although the Rifle viewmodel has been updated, the model that shows as an item is the old model. This also happens with the Shotgun.
