I'll try not to be an ass here but Anon, for the love of god if you are using a direct reference then at least try to analyze what you are looking at.

How does one hold a rifle? What parts of the body are supporting it? Where does one look through the scope to aim? Where is the center of the weight? Where are the support points? How does it keep in balance? What happens when the gun is fired and the user gets a huge recoil?

And so on, a huge part of drawing is always "problem solving" (I can quote Vilppu on that directly) you have to know at least a bit about what you are drawing. S please look at your ref and analyze it, get up take out something similar like a pole or pipe and try to take a similar pose between a wall and chair to see how you would hold it then check your own limbs and posture. If you have a full body mirror or a phone then look at it in the mirror on yourself or snap a photo of yourself.

Okay? I know this had nothing to do with drawing but it is part of the course of learning.
