Any good bolt-action rifle mods?

[Stormie]

So as the title says, I'm looking to see if there's any good bolt action rifle mods available, since I love's me some bolt action sniping, and the single in game hunting rifle just doesn't cut it and MF seems to be obsessed with automatic weapons...

Anyone care to help out a Wasteland Sniper?

Not sure if there are. The Mauser family mod is basically just a reskinned Hunting Rifle, so it doesn't feel new. Does it have to be bolt-action? There are a few that aren't, that are pretty good

[Stormie]

I'd *prefer* bolt action, but as long as it's not a gun that's already in Modern Firearms I'll take whatever suggestions you have, cuz yeah pretty much all the vanilla sniper weapons are kinda...lame.

Oh I should add I already snagged the DKS-501

Well, there goes one of my suggestions. There's also the Modular Simonov PTRS. The thing is a beast. It's really strong, but also really heavy and the ammo is expensive. Easy to craft if you have 5mm rounds though.

I also recommend the recent Lever Action Rifle Redone mod that overhauls it a bit. You can make a good sniper out of it, or even a shotgun with really great range.

Rofl because a 20mm anti tank mini-cannon is a feasible personal sniper rifle XD Love it...

But yeah as far as the DKS, am I the only one who took issue with the appearance of the low level mods to it? When I first got the gun I thought something was wrong because it looked like an even worse version of the shovel-stock AK's people keep finding in the wilds of Africa/Middle East...just UGLY >_< Never mind that the first barrel is basically a carbine or shorter length barrel on a .308 sniper receiver...just....lolwut

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of it's look either. It's definitely not great, but it's functionality was good enough that I ignored it. It was my main sniper until I got my hands on the PTRS.

Well once you get the appropriate perks and resources you can get it looking just like the FO3 sniper, which was the intent. It just confused me so much that the author would make the initial mods so ♥♥♥♥♥♥ looking compared to the military look of what it's supposed to be. Almost like 2 different guns.

I never really got to the point where I'd be able to completely mod it. The PTRS came out before it, so when I downloaded it I really was just planning on making it my sniper rifle I'd get until I obtain a PTRS since they're rare and expensive, or as a backup sniper when I'm out of ammo. I might mod it fully and start using the DKS again. I have the mod that lets you add legendary effects on weapons, and I just found out Newton's Third affects it less than other weapons, making it as deadly, if not moreso, than the PTRS

[Stormie]

Yeah, I'd recommend using it again, once it's modded and looking like it's FO3 self it looks *amazing* with FO4's visuals. Just maybe the first person view the models a bit too high/big, kinda blocks a lot of your FOV.

There's some spiffy looking Dragunovs around too, if you're interested. That's another fave.

The version of MF I'm using had the AWM and Sako TRG as well as the PSL-1 and Tabuk Sniper (two variants of the Dragunov).

Right Hand Bolt Action Rifle. Best Bolt Action mod available so far. Fixes Bethesda's retarded logic of adding left handed bolt action to all hunting rifles in the game, despite it would be insanely uncommon in real life. xD

[Strayonaise]

Modern Firearms mods, it's only on bethesda.net or their website

[Stormie]

Wow didn't expect more replies after so long XD Just wanna point out since a few peels mentioned it: might wanna pay attention to the whole post, cuz I said at least once I already use MF and the PTRS ;) But since last post I've already started using the right handed bolt mod. Also saw the newish XM2076, that's nifty. But what's this about the AWM and Sako? Never seen them in MF (tho admittedly I'm using an older version cuz the newest always seems to crash my game :/)

Buy the gun from Vault 88 (2800 caps) and mod it to non auto. Add supressor and get those perks it lays waste to everything in survival.

[Shahadem]

Why would a gun built in the 2050s be bolt action? All rifles would be semi automatic by that point.
