Ranger Sequoia

The Ranger Sequoia is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Gameplay
The double-action revolver is a scopeless variant of the hunting revolver. It is carried by members of the New California Republic Rangers, gifted to NCR Veteran Rangers after 20 years of service. Engraved along the barrel are the words "For Honorable Service" and "Against All Tyrants." The symbol of the NCR Rangers is located on the handgrip and a plate attached to the bottom reads "20 Years." The gun is not a holdout weapon.

Durability
The Ranger Sequoia can fire a total of about 745 standard rounds, the equivalent of 149 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Hunting revolver - A less powerful, yet more valuable scoped variant of the Ranger Sequoia.
 * Hunting revolver (GRA) - The same as the regular hunting revolver, except for its potential to be modded.

Locations

 * Camp Golf - One is owned by Chief Hanlon. It can be reverse-pickpocketed or taken from his body if he is killed.
 * They can also be obtained from NCR Veteran Rangers beginning at level 16.

Behind the scenes
The Ranger Sequoia is based on the Magnum Research BFR, with elements taken from the Bison Bull.

Bugs

 * Sometimes the hammer will get stuck and appear pulled back, like the hammer on the .357 Magnum revolver and Lucky. It will return to normal after reloaded or shot.
 * The cylinder may sometimes glitch when reloading and not open or release bullets, but it is merely an aesthetic glitch. Unequipping and reequipping the weapon can fix the glitch.
 * If loading a saved game from the main menu in which you have the Ranger Sequoia equipped and drawn, the reload animation takes twice as long as normal. This can be solved by simply switching to another gun and then back again.
 * Equipping this gun after wielding the Gatling laser in 3rd person mode shows the electron charge pack on the sequoia.
 * Even after stealing the ranger sequoia, dropping it and picking it back up will result in Karma loss.
 * Occasionally, drawing the weapon from your hip or equipping it will cause it to show up without the rounded back portion of the cylinder or the hammer, instead there will be a silver knob on the back of the gun. Only switching ammunition types will fix this, and then only until the next time you unequip and reequip or reholster and redraw the weapon.
 * In some games, a glitch will happen when Hanlon's dead body and Ranger Sequoia will disappear, leaving you unable to retrieve the sequoia in this fashion. They can still be received from NCR Veteran Rangers though.
 * Occasionally, the weapon's model file may turn it invisible when dropped, making it difficult to find. It can, however, still be looted and used.
