Scoped hunting rifle

The scoped hunting rifle is a small gun in Fallout 2.

Characteristics
The scope on the weapon dramatically increases the weapon's accuracy at range, allowing one to reach 95% accuracy at long range even with a relatively low skill. It has a drawback, however, as once the distance to the target gets below 8 meters, the aiming accuracy receives a huge penalty, rendering this weapon almost useless at close range, even with a high Small Guns skill.

Locations

 * One can be obtained from a quest in Broken Hills, given by Marcus if one chooses not to take the money at the end of the quest.
 * Skeeter in Gecko, Eldridge and Algernon in New Reno can all upgrade a normal hunting rifle. This is also the only weapon that Buster in New California Republic can upgrade. It cannot be upgraded by Valerie in Vault City.
