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 appears almost like a pistol and requires a long barrel mod and a full stock mod to be really considered a rifle. Great for hunting ghouls, raiders and synths. It's highly unusual in that it is a left-handed bolt-action rifle (although it has notches in the furniture indicating that it can accept bolt handles for either left or right handed use), whereas other Fallout games had right-handed versions and indeed almost no real world bolt-action rifles were manufactured in a left hand configuration.

Weapon modifications
1 - Long Barrels and Scopes will change the base weapon name to "Sniper Rifle" (without any prefixes). In addition, the Recon Scopes will add their "Recon" prefix, and Long Ported Barrel will add its "Ported" prefix. If both of those mods are equipped, the "Recon" prefix will take precedence. 2 - These are the same item, "Hunting Rifle Reflex Sight". The item will work for applying either mod variation.
