Clean, tapeless Hunting Rifle

[Kazakovich]

I'm quite sure I'm not the only one here that just loves the humble Hunting Rifle. It's light, it shoots ammo that you can find in just about every corner and it's bolt action which makes you use every round more wisely. However, after a certain point in the leveling, it becomes too weak to compete with the stronger mobs, and always end up in the dusty corner of my Megaton-house, poor thing.

 

So, my plan is to make a little stronger version of the rifle so that it stays somewhat useful at higher levels. But, there's one problem; those little wires and tapestraps holding it together just won't do... Plus, there's nothing resembling a sight on the barrel, which maybe only is a cosmetic complaint, but still...

So, what I'm looking for is just a regular hunting rifle with the straps and strings removed and the riflebutt fixed, so it look less like I dug it out from a dustbin. The ideal would be to add some kind of small sight (just a dot on the tip of the barrel and two somewhere behind the lever would do, really) and maybe spice the textures up to look less battered, but just getting rid of the strings and tape is more than enough.

 

I've searched high and low, but only found one mod that removes the strings and everything, but it also adds a scope, and I'd like one without. And since I got absolutley no skill whatsoever in texturing and modeling... If you know there's a mod like that out there somewhere, or you're someone more skilled with modeling than I am and think you can pull it off, then please tell. :smile:

 

It doesn't have to be a hunting rifle, though, it can be like a Mauser or something similar. As long as it's bolt action, aren't too worn-down, don't have a scope and look somewhat traditional, it'll do. :happy:

I usually just use a sniper rifle, with the "Sniper Zoom" mod

But yeah, the Hunting Rifle was my dream weapons when I started playing Fo3
