The Hunting Rifle is one of the Items available in The Long Dark.

General Overview

The Hunting Rifle is the only firearm present in game. It holds a maximum of 10 bullets and has a basic iron sight. It will bring a Deer down in one shot. Wolves can take 2 shot on the torso, but will die with 1 headshot. Bears can stand to 2-3 headshots, and 5 shots at his torso with full health. Since Rifle Rounds are rare and Rifle Ammunition even rarer, the Hunting Rifle is better used for defence purposes only. It can be repaired using 1 Scrap Metal and 1 Fir Firewood along with Simple Tools or Quality Tools.
