More accurately, it would be IN a rifle- inside the barrel. If you look through the EMPTY barrel of a rifle or pistol, you will see spiral lines- the rifling. It consists of GROOVES- the lines cut into the barrel- and LANDS- the part of the barrel between the grooves.

Only if you have specific licence to use it for hunting game or for target shooting, be this from the landowner if it is private land, or from the local authority or the National Trust if it is not. If you don't have this then you can be charged with carrying an offensive weapon, even if the rifle is legally held.
