Hunting Rifle (Fallout 3)

The Hunting Rifle is a small guns rifle in Fallout 3.

It is a Mauser-type bolt-action rifle, and resembles such venerable models as the Remington 700 and Winchester 70 series. It uses the .32 Caliber Round.

This weapon is very accurate, and has the best zoom you will find before the Sniper Rifle and perhaps the Scoped .44 Magnum. It is frequently used by Super Mutants. It can be also be found frequently in downtown Washington, DC.

It is interesting to note that while this is a very accurate weapon, the in-game weapon model does not have rear or front sights, nor does it have a scope. In reality, this would make the weapon extremely difficult to aim at longer ranges and would render it almost totally worthless beyond close-range encounters, even to a skilled marksman.

Appearances
The .32 Hunting Rifle appears only in Fallout 3, replacing the Colt Rangemaster Hunting Rifle from previous games.
