Hunting Rifle (Fallout: New Vegas)

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

Characteristics
The hunting rifle looks remarkably like the .32 caliber rifle in Fallout 3, and Is greatly different from the .223 caliber rifle seen in the Core Region before. Unlike its counterpart in the Capital Wasteland, this hunting rifle comes equipped with iron sights and is chambered in .308 caliber. It can be equipped with a custom bolt, which increases the firing speed, as well as a scope and an extended magazine. Strangely it has tritium lined iron sights which is an unusual (but helpful) thing to have on such a ramshackle weapon.

Locations
