They do in range and since most of my army's (Prussian, Russian, British/allies)are the better units. Which reminds me I need to get the 95th.

Rifles are more accurate and the men were trained to think independently.Better morale. Didn't know the Russians had rifles. Austrians had some.

No Russians have Rifles, do have the 95th Rifles now, seems by period drawing Hanoverian Jagers have Rifles but haven't seen that in writing.

Was naming in all my armies, only Rifles are Prussian Guard Jager, East Prussian Jager, Silesian Schutzen, Guard Schutzen ( later than army and don't get much combat) and 95th Rifles. Thought of rolling dice for any volunteer Jager companies
