The bolt-action rifle has great accuracy, even beating the [[charge lance]]. Only the [[pump shotgun]] is more accurate, and it only has a range of 16 tiles.

The bolt-action rifle is a moderately heavy, single-shot firearm in RimWorld which deals a slightly higher amount of damage per shot; moderate time between shots; long range and very high overall accuracy.

The bolt-action rifle will deteriorate when left outdoors, under the usual conditions.

Acquisition

Bolt-action rifles can be crafted at a machining table once the Gunsmithing research has been completed; from Steel 60 Steel, Component 3 Componentss and 12,000 ticks (3.33 mins) of work. A crafting skill of at least 5 is required.

Bolt-action rifles can be purchased from outlander and orbital combat suppliers, or obtained from the following raider kinds:

Raider Kind Chance Average Quality Health
Scavenger Gunner 11.67% Normal 40-110%
Pirate Gunner 22.61% Normal 70-230%
Town Guard 18.63% Normal 60-200%
Mercenary Gunner 12.17% Normal 70-320%
Ancient Soldier 10.28% Normal 100%

Given at the beginning with Crashlanded scenario.

Analysis

The bolt-action rifle has great accuracy, even beating the charge lance. Only the pump shotgun is more accurate, and it only has a range of 16 tiles. In contrast, the rifle has a very good maximum range of 36.9 tiles, itself only beaten by an actual sniper rifle. It can also stagger humans, cougars, 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.

However, the bolt-action rifle has a fairly poor close accuracy. In close quarters, it is easily outclassed by by the likes of the revolver and autopistol, let alone burst-fire weapons. Because it's most effective at a distance, a competent shooter is required to get the most use out of this weapon.

Stats

Against an unarmored human, a bolt-action rifle can kill with 3 hits to the torso, 2 hits to the head or neck, or 1 hit to the brain; cripple or destroy limbs in 2 hits; and destroy eyes and digits with a single hit. It'll generally take around 4 hits (~15.9 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock.

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.

    The value is provided due to the interpolated nature of accuracy between range points.

      It may also change depending on the stats and the melee verbs available to the wielder if the weapon is wielded by some other than a baseline human.

    Bolt-action rifle vs. comparable weapons

    This section goes over how well the bolt-action rifle fares against comparable weapons (similar value, tech level or similar characteristics) in 1 vs. 1 combat.

    Methodology

    • All testing is semi-automated which allows for large sample sizes to be gathered per set of results with ease
    • All pawns have skill levels of 14 in ranged and melee
    • No pawns have any traits that affect combat performance
    • All pawns are of at least 18 years of age and completely healthy
    • Pawns are divided by walls to prevent stray shots from skewing results in any way
    • Weather is always kept clear
    • No cover is used for either team

    Results in the tables below are the percentages of battles that bolt-action rifles either won or tied against the weapon listed in the first column of said tables, with a sample size of 2,000 battles per result. Higher percentages are better.
