Break action rifles are also referred to as break-open or hinge-action rifles, which have a vast history dating back to the early 19th century. The break action design of firearms revolutionized ease of access to barrel breech during loading, unloading and cleaning. Shotguns were the first beneficiaries of this concept even though it quickly moved towards rifles due to their convenience and dependability.
One of the earliest examples is found in falling block rifles where a lever or button would release the breech block allowing reloading through an exposed chamber. Gun makers such as Johann Nikolaus von Dreyse in Germany and Henry Deringer in America popularized this design between the mid-1800s.

With time, more advanced locking mechanisms like break action side by side and over-under configurations that are common in modern hunting rifles came along as break action rifles progressed. These designs allowed for quick barrel interchangeability improved accuracy, and enhanced safety features.

They became very useful for hunting since they are simple, durable, and can handle different types of calibers and ammunition among hunters who appreciate them most due to their versatility with cartridges.
