Template:Weapons The Hunting rifle is a long range bolt-action rifle. It uses a clip with a capacity of 5 rounds .308 Round. The weapon has a large range, a long recoil delay, high critical chance and deals high damage compared to other weapons, but it takes some practise (aiming skill). The weapon is very loud and will attract nearby zombies in a large area.

The rifle is also closely related to the varmint rifle, which has higher maximum damage, higher hit chance and lower recoil delay, but has lower minimum damage, lower critical chance and is a lot louder.

You can also modify the weapon with 8 types of modifications.

The hunting rifle along with the varmint rifle can be found in the gun shop (above Twiggy's) in West Point.
