Sniper rifle

Rifle. Excellent long range projectile weapon.

The Sniper Rifle is a Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3 and Fallout Tactics weapon.

Fallout and Fallout 2
Originally .308, this one is chambered in the more common .223 caliber. Allows to do insane damage to the critical body areas, if player has correct stats. This rifle does not share the same reduction in accuracy when enemies close in as the Scoped Hunting Rifle.

Fallout Tactics
Originally .308, this one is chambered in the more common 7.62mm caliber.

Fallout 3
In Fallout 3, a sniper rifle can be found in the shooting range of the National Guard Depot in one of the lanes, though in poor condition. In addition, one of the Slavers or Raiders on top of the overpass near Springvale usually carries one. The NPC Arkansas, found in the town of Minefield, also has a sniper rifle.
