Hunting rifle (Fallout 76)

	For an overview of hunting rifle models, see hunting rifle.

The hunting rifle is a weapon in Fallout 76.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

The hunting rifle is a high powered, bolt action rifle with a wooden stock. It can be used as a basic long range weapon until at least level 30. Further modifications can be unlocked for this weapon by scrapping unused weapons. The only drawback for the hunting rifle is the slow rate of fire and that cycling the bolt slows down the player character's movement after every shot.
