It also has great accuracy, even beating the [[charge lance]]. Only the [[pump shotgun]] has a higher average accuracy, and it only has a range of 16 tiles. The bolt-action rifle remains able to stagger [[human]]s, [[cougar]]s, and all [[insectoids]]. This makes it great as a hunting weapon, for field engagements (e.g. attacking siege camps), or as a general support weapon. |

Because this gun is most effective at a distance, a competent shooter is required to get the most use out of it. This is because a pawn's own [[Shooting Accuracy]], which is in part dependent on [[Shooting]] skill, is more important when the target is further away. For example, a baseline Shooting 0 pawn has a ×{{%|0.89^30 round 2}} multiplier on their real chance to hit a target 30 tiles away, regardless of the weapon used. A Shooting 8 pawn has ×{{%|0.96^30 round 2}} multiplier from the same distance. With Shooting 0, it wouldn't matter if their ''gun'' had 10% accuracy or 80% accuracy, they'd struggle with hitting anything from 30 tiles. | Because this gun is most effective at a distance, a competent shooter is required to get the most use out of it.

Overall, the bolt-action rifle is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 13, then with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point. | Overall, the bolt-action rifle is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 13, then with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point. | ||
