La Longue Carabine

The  is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas. It is a unique variant of the cowboy repeater. It is carried by Corporal Sterling in Camp McCarran.

Characteristics
It has a scope mounted on the rifle. This rifle also reloads significantly faster than a regular cowboy repeater, and does not load through the loading gate (it lacks one) but through the front of the magazine tube, somewhat similar to Lincoln's Repeater. La Longue Carabine cannot be modified using cowboy repeater mods. It already has one mod attached, the extended feeder magazine, although judging by the appearance of the rifle the magazine tube on La Longue Carabine is smaller than a Cowboy Repeater with an extended magazine.

Locations

He is also part of the quest I Don't Hurt Anymore and killing him for the rifle will forfeit the quest.

Then use a small caliber, low spread, weapon to shoot it out of his hands, and then quickly holster your weapon. If you have a good enough reputation with the NCR, he will end combat. Simply pick the weapon up without loss of karma or reputation.
