Search through to get the gun (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rifle

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'search through' is the first definition.

'the gun' is the second definition.
(rifle is a kind of gun)

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rifle that I've seen before include "Root" , "Gun; thoroughly search" , "shoot?" , "Strip - firearm" , "Gun with long_barrel" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
