The hunting rifle is a weapon in Fallout 76.

Background[]

The following section is transcluded from Hunting rifle. To modify, please edit the source page.

A classic bolt-action rifle design dating back to the 20th century. Its rugged design, performance against a variety of game, and accuracy made it a staple of American hunting before the Great War. The nuclear holocaust has merely changed the type of animal hunted by the owner of the rifle. The availability of replacement units often cause owners to neglect their rifles, though their performance even while damaged and far between repairs is a testament to the quality of this all American design. While the basic model was chambered for the venerable .308 round, hunters in the Capital Wasteland area are known to use a model chambered for .32 caliber rounds meant for pistols.

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.
