Fallout 3 Weapons Using .308 Caliber Round Ammunition

 * Sniper Rifle
 * Reservist%27s Rifle
 * Victory Rifle

Description
The .308 Caliber Round is the second rarest small guns ammunition found in the game, next to .44 Round, Magnum; very few enemies carry Sniper Rifles, and many are located in hard to reach places or have only a small number of rounds to be looted. The Hunting Rifle largely provides the same effect while using the much more common .32 Caliber Round, making the Sniper Rifle and variants limited in effectiveness until the player gathers a stockpile of ammunition.

A large stockpile of .308 rounds can be found in the Bethesda Ruins. There is a Sniper perched in a window of a dilapidated office building. While the Sniper Rifle itself is in poor condition, there is at least 50 .308 caliber rounds (with the "Scrounger" perk) to be looted from ammunition boxes by the window and from the dead Raider's corpse.

Vendors
Gustavo at tenpenny tower will often have a dozen or more rounds for sale, and restocks frequently. Flak and Shrapnel often have 8-10 rounds for sale, but not always. The vendor in Citadel will have 20 or more rounds frequently, but is not available until halfway through the main quest line. Karl may also have a few for sale.
