Men’s 50 metre rifle three positions (then known as small-bore free rifle) was one of the thirteen shooting events at the 1992 Summer Olympics. It was the first Olympic competition after the introduction of the new target in 1989 and thus two Olympic records were set by Juha Hirvi (qualification round) and Hrachya Petikyan (final). Petikian won ahead of Robert Foth and Ryohei Koba after a poor final demoted Hirvi to fourth place.
