Colt Rangemaster hunting rifle is a small gun that appears in Fallout and Fallout 2.
Background
The Colt Rangemaster is a powerful semiautomatic rifle chambered for .223 caliber ammunition.[1] The ammunition combined with a 1:10" barrel rifling twist gives it excellent accuracy at range.[2] Combination of durable metals and wooden furniture make it an exceptionally durable firearm. The rifle can accept an aftermarket Loophole x20 or Triveld x10 scope.[3][4]
Characteristics
Excellent long range weapon in the early stages of the game, the hunting rifle gives plenty of advantage over enemies, most of whom will usually be carried pistols or submachine guns. Particularly good for Vic and John Cassidy in the early stages of the game.

Accurate from first shot to last, no matter what kind of game you're gunning for. Min ST: 5.}" - ↑ Buster: "{121}{}{Maybe. Just might have a Triveld x10 rifle scope - would fit just fine on a hunting rifle, if somebody was interested. Let it go cheap -- $500.}"
