Hunting rifle (Fallout 4)

The hunting rifle is a weapon in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
The hunting rifle is a left-handed bolt-action rifle commonly carried by super mutants and raiders. It can be found early in the game although these early rifles will be unmodded. Its effectiveness in the early game sections can be limited by the amount of .308 ammunition the Sole Survivor can find. The hunting rifle can remain a viable weapon during the later stages of the game as well via the use of modifications, especially when modified to fire .50 caliber ammunition.

From a general point of view, the hunting rifle is the game's mid-tier long-range precision weapon, reflected in its crafting perk requirements, with the hunting rifle's top-tier modifications requiring three points in Gun Nut.

The appearance of a basic, unmodified hunting rifle boasts short barrel and a wooden stock that has apparently been sawn into a pistol grip and wrapped with a layer of duct tape at some point in the past. However, outfitting the gun with increasingly more advanced barrels and ergonomic stocks made from what seems to be polymers quickly turns it into a high-tech sniper rifle. Once a good scope and a suppressor have been installed, along with a .50 receiver if so desired, the weapon loses almost any resemblance to an actual hunting rifle and appears more fit to be wielded by a professional sniper instead.
