Characteristics
A varmint rifle is a small-caliber firearm or high-powered air gun primarily used for varmint hunting—killing animals such as rats, rabbits, birds, squirrels, gophers, and other animals considered to be farm pests. This weapon has a strength requirement of 3.

The varmint rifle uses 5.56mm ammo. It is considered low-power, but boasts a high critical bonus and deals significant damage to limbs. You can also attach a suppressor to keep it from alerting enemies in the area, a night-vision scope, and an extended clip.
