Hunting rifle

A hunting rifle is a weapon appearing in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, Fallout 76 and Fallout Shelter.

Background
 Hunting rifles are weapons designed for use in hunting. After the Great War, their accuracy and power allowed them to be adapted for hunting non-traditional types of game as well.

.223 Colt Rangemaster


The Colt Rangemaster is a powerful semi-automatic rifle chambered for .223 caliber ammunition. The ammunition combined with a 1:10" barrel rifling twist gives it good accuracy at range. Combination of durable metals and wooden furniture make it an exceptionally durable firearm. The rifle can accept an aftermarket Loophole x20 or Triveld x10 scope. 
 * For the modified version found in Fallout 2, see: scoped hunting rifle

Bolt action hunting rifle


A turn pull bolt-action rifle designed for hunting a variety of game animals before the Great War. While most commonly chambered for .308 rounds, the receivers of some models can be modified to fire .50 caliber or .38 rounds, while models found in the Capital Wasteland, the Pitt and Point Lookout are chambered for .32 caliber rounds.

A much better rifle than the home-made variety, the hunting rifle is great for picking off a faraway target that isn't likely to realize it's being shot at.
