Which rifle section? The only section clearly labeled "Rifle" is the Military Rifle section. There isn't a "Rifle" section in the AR-15 specific area, and that wouldn't be the appropriate area for anything other than rimfire AR's anyhow. Hunting could apply, but only for hunting-related rimfire stuff. Military rifles could apply, but once again clearly only to military-related rimfire stuff like surplus training rifles.

Is it that you prefer a larger amount of information in fewer areas? To me that just means you have to sift through more to find specific items. I don't think there should be a specific area for everything, but rimfires are widespread and almost ubiquitous to shooting. So for the items other than military surplus rimfires, hunting issues involving rimfires, handguns, and rimfire AR's, where would you suggest? We have an area for polymer handguns. Why can't we just use the handgun section? We have an area for 7.62x39 firearms; do we need that? Same with 10mm and Curios and Relics. I'm not trying to beat on anyone; I'm only trying to illustrate my point. Some compartmentalization is for organizational purposes and to encourage the subject.
