====Ruger====

In 1966, [[Sturm, Ruger]] introduced their first true rifle, [[Ruger No. 1]], which uses a [[falling-block action]] and is available in a wide selection of calibers from [[.22 Hornet]] to [[.458 Winchester Magnum]]. The No. 1 has always been sought after by shooters who appreciate the compact size of a single-shot rifle, and the falling block action cuts about {{convert|4|in|cm|abbr=on}} off the length of the rifle for a given barrel length.  From 1972 to 1987, Ruger also made a less expensive version of the #1, the #3. The #3, which sold for about half the price of a #1, used a simplified, non-locking lever for the falling block action, and came with an uncheckered stock.<ref name=fjestad>{{cite book |title=Blue Book of Gun Values, 13th ed. |author=S.

====Browning====
In 1985, Browning re-introduced the famous [[Winchester Model 1885]] single-shot rifles in popular calibers but under the Browning name.  Although the rifle gained fame under the Winchester brand name, it was John Moses Browning that designed the rifle, selling the rights to Winchester in the early 1880s and was in production from 1885 to 1920.

====Cooper====

The majority of rifles made by [[Cooper Firearms of Montana|Cooper]] are single-shot bolt-action rifles. Many of their rifles are specially crafted to suit long-range varmint hunting, where the accuracy of the single-shot action is helpful.

====Remington====
Remington has once again made their No. 1 Rolling Block rifles available <ref>[http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/custom_shop/RollingBlock_rifles.asp Remington No. 1 Rolling Block Rifles<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070711043612/http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/custom_shop/RollingBlock_rifles.asp |date=2007-07-11 }}</ref> through their custom shop.

====New England Firearms (H&R)====
One of the most common single-action rifles would be the New England Firearms' inexpensive break-open rifles, which are built on their [[Gauge (bore diameter)|12 gauge]] break-open shotgun actions. The rifles, however, are made on a heat-treated steel action, and the shotgun actions are not heat-treated. Any rifle frame may accept rifle or shotgun barrels. The shotgun frames, however, are only safe for shotgun barrels. These were originally built by Harrington & Richardson starting in 1871.<ref>[http://www.chuckhawks.com/nef_rifles.htm NEF Single Shot Rifles<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> H&R was later acquired by NEF, and both are now part of the [[Marlin Firearms]] family. Rifles are sold both under the NEF and the H&R names. These rifles are quite accurate, and often less than half the price of a bolt-action rifle in the same caliber.

====Winchester====
In 2005, Winchester re-marketed their legendary [[Winchester Model 1885 Single Shot Rifle|Model 1885 Single Shot Rifle]], under their ''Limited Series'' category.  The modern calibers of .17 were offered in a Low-Wall design, and the .243 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield were of the High-Wall design. The most faithful of the reproductions are the ''[[Traditional]] [[Hunter]] [[Limited Series]]'' Model 1885 Single Shots, as they have the original style steel crescent butt plates, and folding steel tang rear sights, with full-length octagon barrels.  The Traditional Hunters are chambered in the 19th-century calibers of [[.45-90 Sharps]], [[.45-70 Government]], [[.405 Winchester]], and [[.38-55 Winchester]].  Test firing of some of these Winchesters showed that they are high quality in construction, using the latest technology and modern steel, they are stronger and safer than their 19th-century predecessors, and accuracy from their factory (non-custom) barrels were exceptionally good; especially at {{convert|200|yd|m|abbr=on}}.

====Sharps====
[[Sharps rifle]]s were a staple of the buffalo hunters in the late 19th century. Recently, they have had a resurgence in popularity for hunting large game as well as historical firearms events and black-powder cartridge (BPCR) competitions. Much of the current popularity is due to the film [[Quigley Down Under]] that featured a Sharps Model 1874 rifle. The popularity of [[Cowboy action shooting]] has also affected the availability of single-shot rifles, with many replicas of the old [[Black powder|black-powder]] rifles, particularly the [[Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Company|Sharps]], now being available.

====Barrett M99====
The [[Barrett M99]] is a single-shot, bolt-action, bullpup sniper rifle.  It is chambered in .50 BMG, and .416 Barrett round that has 0.5 MOA accuracy at ranges that far exceed one mile.

====Denel NTW-20====
The [[Denel NTW-20]] is a bolt-action, anti-material, or large-caliber sniper rifle. With a buffered slide in the receiver, the barrel can recoil inside the frame, allowing for large rounds to be fired with relative ease by the user. It is chambered for [[20×82mm|20×82mm Mauser]], [[14.5×114mm]], and [[Hispano-Suiza HS.404|20×110mm Hispano-Suiza]] round. Specifically, it is only a single-shot when chambered to the 20mm Hispano-Suiza round, while the remaining chamberings fed from 3-round magazines.

====Steyr====
The original version of [[Steyr HS .50]] is a single-shot bolt-action sniper rifle. It is chambered in .50 BMG (or .460 Steyr) and can reach ranges from {{convert|1,500|to|2,500|m|yd|abbr=on}}.
