Search for a killer? (5)

I believe the answer is:

rifle

(Other definitions for rifle that I've seen before include "Ransack; a weapon" , "Ransack - firearm" , "Long-barrelled weapon, normal army equipment" , "Standard military gun fired from shoulder" , "Winchester" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
