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, extended magazines, and reduce it's weight by 5 lbs.

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

This rifle now may not be a good choice with less fragile and more accurate weapons such as the Hunting rifle (Fallout: New Vegas) or Ratslayer available.

Can be bought from the Gun Runners outpost (though it may not be available initially).
