Hunting Rifle (Fallout: New Vegas)

The hunting rifle is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The hunting rifle looks remarkably like the Hunting rifle in Fallout 3 and unlike the .223 caliber rifle seen in the Core Region before. It also resembles, with all the weapon modifications, a Mosin Nagant. Strangely it has tritium-lined iron sights which is an unusual (but helpful) thing to have on such a ramshackle weapon. When fully modded it's a very stable platform for long-range sniping and overall combat but it's slow rate of fire can be a liability in close quarters. If you cannot get a hold of a sniper rifle then a fully modded hunting rifle should do very well for you until you can find one.The hunting rifle is less common than it is in the capital wasteland.
