Scoped Hunting Rifle
I might be wrong but I think I've seen a scoped model of hunting rifle in the FO3. It actually happened when camera in VATS mode showed my target - Super Mutant - for a blink of an eye. It looked like he was reloading and aiming regular hunting rifle with something cylindric attached to it above the lock. It was similar to scopes used in Mosin-Nagant rifle during the WWII. Searching the body of the mutant have given regular Hunting Rifle. I'm going to look closely and try to make a screenshot if I'm lucky.RDGST 21:30, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * This is likley case from fired bullet. When ejected from rifle, it going up above barrel. --winterheart 21:33, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

I have never came upon a scoped .3s rifle in this game, but, there are sniper rifles and scoped .44 pistols. thoes are the only weapons i have came upon that have scopes.


 * I have found it again so here is the proof: File:Scoped_Hunting_Rifle.png Scoped Hunting Rifle image]. This may be also somehow displaced lock of the rifle but looks much like a scope doesn't it? RDGST 16:06, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

On closer observation, it is a displaced bolt (You can see the chamber open, and the handle for the bolt).Sipli 12:09, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Quick question, why does it say it's a 32mm? That's...very, very different from .32 cal.
 * Haha, THAT would be an interesting gun...--Captain192 05:23, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Is it a bug or do you really walk/run slower than with other weapons?--84.226.51.48 20:20, 17 April 2009 (UTC)Deadking

Well, you are supposed to. You walk slower when wearing metal armour, or wielding a minigun, for example, as opposed to a vault suit and a 10mm pistol.

Stockholm?
I was just thinking, why doesn't stockholm have a unique rifle. It would have been an easy weapon to get right out of the vault. I'm not asking/suggesting this, im just wondering why they didn't add one.ChineseSurvivalist 00:37, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Winchester Model 70
''Kingclyde - the 3 position safety is a mauser bolt action feature, not unique to the winchester, plus any of the above guns could be it. They are used as generalizations as we know not the model.''

This is incorrect. We know exactly the model and the range of years that this was produced. Although a three position wing safety is a Mauser feature, the pre-war Winchester Model 70 utilizes a distinctive flag variant. This particular style of safety was only used from 1937 to WWII. Following the war, the safety had changed to the three position side lever that is still available today. Regarding the stock, Winchesters have a distinct cut from the front of the bolt port to the rear of the safety. This cut is also mirrored on the off-hand side.

As Josh utilized a Monte Carlo cheek-piece when he modeled the rifle, the FO3 version is specifically a pre-war Winchester Model 70 Super Grade.

 * I guess you have me. Thanks for pointing that out. We usually do not get model specific due to the nature of the game using a base rifle and moding it (i.e. the Chinese Assault Rifle). Thanks for the correction. Please sign you post as well. --Kingclyde 22:41, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just because it looks identical to a real-world gun doesn't mean it is. The R91 Assault Rifle is an exact visual duplicate of the Spanish CTME Modelo C. Nitty Tok. 22:43, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * What? In all reality, in the GECK the R91 is listed as a G4 (the newer variant of the CETME). What you said contradicts itself.--Kingclyde 22:51, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, correct me on a Spanish gun I don't care about. What I'm saying is that there's no specific mentioning of the Hunting Rifle being a Winchester Model 70, which means that it's not a Model 70. For all we know, it's a rechambered Colt Rangemaster, like the DKS-501. Nitty Tok. 22:55, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
