Hunting Revolver

The Hunting revolver is a pistol in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The Hunting revolver is a large double-action revolver that fires .45-70 Gov't rounds. It does significantly more damage than the .44 magnum revolver and comes with a scope, versus requiring a modification as with the .44 magnum. Its high base damage is second only to the Ranger Sequoia when compared with other single-handed bullet weapons.

The Hunting revolver's greatest weakness is its ammunition. Few vendors sell any rounds of the .45-70 caliber, and the few that do usually only sell it in the Hollow Point variety, making it impractical for use against armored targets. The armor piercing variant can only be crafted if the player has the Hand Loader perk, and provides a significant gun condition penalty with use.

Variants

 * Ranger Sequoia

Locations

 * A Hunting revolver is tucked between a corpse and the wall, next to a safe, in one of the second floor locked (easy) storage rooms in the REPCONN Test Site.
 * It can be also be found during The Kings first faction side quest. When you are to hire Orris, you can kill him at anytime during or before the quest and you will still receive your reward.
 * One can occasionally be found in the underground section of Brewer's Beer Bootlegging in a locked (hard) gun cabinet (The cabinet contains randomly generated level-appropriate weapons).
 * Several Hunting revolvers may be found on Great Khan members in Red Rock Canyon.
 * One Hunting revolver and 20 rounds of .45-70G ammo can be found in Bloodborne Cave, near the camp fire.
 * Northeast of Neil's Shack by the first bend of the winding path leading towards Black Mountain, located by a gorebag on the cliff.
 * Can always be bought from Gun Runners if you are a high enough level.
 * Several can be found at Camp Golf. Many of the veteran rangers carry them.
 * Given to the courier during the Quest "Bleed Me Dry"

Behind the scenes

 * Based on the real-life Magnum Research BFR (Biggest, Finest Revolver), which can be chambered in .45-70 Gov't.
