Hunting rifle (Fallout 4)

The hunting rifle is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
The hunting rifle is a rather accurate and powerful weapon for the beginning of the game, and continues to be useful later on, especially if modified with other receivers, magazines, and sights, allowing it to become an efficient sniper rifle. After being modified in .308 or .50 caliber, it has slightly better stats across the board than a pipe rifle in the same caliber. In .38 caliber, it has much higher damage per shot than a .38 pipe rifle, but it is bolt-action rather than semi-automatic or automatic.

Crafting
With the Contraptions Workshop add-on, hunting rifles can be manufactured using a weapon forge.

Modifications
All numbers are relative to the base stats.
