Sniper Rifle (Fallout: New Vegas)

This sniper rifle is an older model of the famed DKS-501. Still chambered for .308 ammunition, it's also extremely fragile and requires regular repair and maintenance to keep it in working condition. It can be modded to include a suppressor and retrofitted with Carbon-Fiber parts to decrease its weight.

Characteristics
It is identical in appearance to the sniper rifle in Fallout 3.

A side note, with 10 Luck + Finesse + 1st Recon Beret at 100% weapon condition. this sniper rifle can have 100% critical hit.
