Hunting rifle (Fallout 4)

The hunting rifle is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
The hunting rifle is a rifle commonly carried by super mutants and raiders, with no mods it resembles a Russian "Obrez" sawed-off rifle and requires a long barrel mod and a full stock mod to be really considered a rifle. Great for hunting ghouls, raiders and synths. Of special note, it's a left-handed bolt-action rifle. This is unusual as the other Fallout games had right-handed versions.

Variants

 * Becomes 'sniper rifle' when a scope mod and long barrel are added.
 * Can be chambered for .38, .308, and .50 ammo types.
 * A rare variant (obtained from legendary drops) fires an extra projectile and once upgraded is capable of over 150 dam per shot, making it easily one of the most powerful weapons for the sub level 20 player
 * A rare variant (obtained from a legendary drop) deals double damage if the target is at full health, and combined with stealth bonuses can easily one shot kill most enemies in the game.

Trivia

 * The appearance of the base model and its more upgraded forms differs considerably in terms of overall style and appearance compared to other weapons. This is likely because the higher end mods seem to try to portray the sniper rifle model introduced in Fallout 3 where the lower end mods instead portray the hunting rifle from that era.
