Hunting Rifle (Fallout: New Vegas)

The hunting rifle is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The hunting rifle is very similar in looks to .32 caliber hunting rifle found in the Capital Wasteland and unlike the .223 Colt Rangemaster seen previously in the Core Region. Compared to its Capital Wasteland counterpart, it has an iron sight attached and is much more powerful per shot, but with a much higher action point cost. Strangely, this weapons iron sights are lined with luminescent markers, which is an unusual thing to have on such a weapon. The hunting rifle is less common than its Capital Wasteland counterpart, as is its ammunition.

When fully modified it's a very stable platform for long-range sniping and overall combat. In fact, the increased magazine size of the fully upgraded hunting rifle coupled with the higher damage per shot, faster reload speed and very high durability make it a viable, if not better alternative than the standard sniper rifle and its unique variant. It also has the most magnified scope of any sniper rifle when the scope modification is attached.

The hunting rifle can be repaired with any bolt/lever action rifle with the Jury Rigging perk.
