High Power Rifle is actually a term that refers to a format of competitive rifle shooting, and not a rifle type
Governed by NRA rules, High Power Rifle has four (4) different stages of fire:

1. Slow fire standing at 200 yards
2. Rapid fire sitting or kneeling at 200 yards
3. Rapid fire prone at 300 yards
4. Slow fire prone at 600 yardsThe fact that there are three distances in which the course of fire is shot at, has resulted in the nickname “Across the Course” to be used when referring to High Power Rifle competitions.

NRA rules govern two separate categories for High Power Rifle: Service Rifle and Match Rifle.

Service Rifle consists of three (3) different rifle types:

1.M1 Garand
2.M14 or civilian equivalent (i.e. Springfield Armory Inc. M1A)
3.M16 or civilian equivalent (i.e. AR-15)

Service rifles must be configured in an external configuration very much similar to US Military service rifle configurations. For example, to use an AR-15 in High Power in the Service Rifle category, it would have to have a 20″ barrel with a carry handle rear sight and a A2 front sight.

Any other rifle, including those that are disqualified as being Service Rifles due to minor characteristic differences, are considered Match Rifles.

Match Rifles are pretty much every other rifle aside from the three Service Rifles.
