Game of all size and shape is hunted, and the calibre varies in accordance with what it is you're hunting. If you're hunting elk, you're not going to use the same calibre you would hunt squirrel with, and vice versa. A hunting rifle is simply a rifle which is used for hunting - that in itself doesn't determine what's being hunted, and it would be impossible to determine an average calibre, given that not every hunting rifle was a purpose built rifle - some hunters, for example, used decommissioned military rifles such as the SKS.

However, the mass of the rifle is much larger than the mass of the bullet, so the acceleration of the rifle is much smaller compared to the acceleration of the bullet.

No, an eagle cannot strike two times harder than a rifle bullet. The force of an eagle's strike, while powerful for its size, is significantly less than that of a bullet fired from a rifle. For example, a bullet can travel at speeds exceeding 1,000 feet per second and deliver a force that is many times greater than an eagle's talon strike. Therefore, the comparison is not accurate.
