Where To Watch
Do you have what it takes to pass the big Rifleman trivia quiz?
Test your knowledge of this Western gem!
Sure, the show was called The Rifleman, but the Western was so much more than a cowboy with a gun. It was the first primetime series to depict a widowed parent raising a child. The relationship between Lucas McCain (Chuck Connors) and his boy, Mark McCain (Johnny Crawford), is the core of the show. The show is as much about parenting as it is about justice. But, yeah, that modified rifle is pretty cool.
The Rifleman remains a classic of the genre, beloved and rewatched to this day. With so many fans, we bet you know a bunch of trivia about the show. See if you can get more than 20 questions correct!

My mom could ace this!
23/30. 13 shots in the show opener. I count them every time.
#26 is a poorly-worded question because Oklahoma was not a state until 1907. Before then it was officially "Indian Territory", so technically speaking, the McCains did not come from a "state" as per the question.
Why is it called a Rifleman quiz when half the questions are about other things?
Excellent question as I asked it myself. How does knowing what other roles Chuck Conners has played on other shows have anything to do with "The Rifleman" trivia?

29 out of 30!
I thought this was supposed to be a Rifleman quiz.
It was!
Exactly! Asking questions about other roles Chuck Conners played on other shows have nothing to do with "The Rifleman".
Mostly, but there were several questions that had nothing to do with "The Rifleman".

I always did like MAD Magazine's parody of the show called "The Rifle, Man!"

26/30. Not bad I guess. My downfall questions were 17, 20, 24, and 28. Should've known 28. Oh well.
30 correct out of 30
22/30. Foiled by 2, 5, 20, 22, 24, 25, 28 and 29.
I got 20 correct, and 10 wrong.
28/30. I only missed the ones about what actors did after the show. I watched the as a kid, teen and adult. It never gets old.
21/30, and guessed.
