Hunting rifle is cheap but also weaker replacement for the Sniper rifle.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Long Range weapon perk that increases chance to hit.
• The main advantage of this weapon is its commonness.
• Its range (40 hex) isn't as great as a Sniper rifle or Assault rifle. It is the same in terms of any other stat like damage or magazine size.
• A hunting rifle shot costs one AP less than a shot from the sniper rifle.
  
• If you need a cheap weapon with long range for fights in low-tier or no armor, it's a good choice.
