What should you do to ensure your hunting rifle is unloaded?

  1. Look down the barrel

  2. Keep it in a case

  3. Remove the magazine and check the chamber

  4. Shake it to hear if ammunition is inside

The correct answer is: Remove the magazine and check the chamber

To ensure your hunting rifle is unloaded, you should remove the magazine and check the chamber. This is the safest and most effective way to ensure there is no ammunition in your rifle. It is important to note that the other options (A, B, and D) are not safe practices for checking if your rifle is unloaded. Looking down the barrel can put you at risk of accidentally pulling the trigger, keeping it in a case does not guarantee it is unloaded, and shaking it can be dangerous if there is indeed ammunition inside. Therefore, option C is the best choice for ensuring the rifle is completely unloaded.
