==Overview==
 
−
The bolt-action rifle has the second highest overall accuracy out of all non-explosive ranged weapons in the game; marginally ahead of the [[charge lance]] and slightly behind the [[pump shotgun]]. On top of that, this weapon has a very good maximum range as well as a decent per-shot damage amount and armor penetration. Stopping power is also high enough to stagger not only [[human]]s, but also slightly larger targets such as [[cougar]]s and all [[insectoids]].
 
  
 +
The bolt-action rifle will [[deterioration|deteriorate]] when left outdoors, under the usual conditions.
  
−
However, the bolt-action rifle's damage output at shorter distances leaves a fair bit to be desired due to its weaker close-up accuracy, easily being outclassed at those distances by weapons such as the [[revolver]] - larger burst-fire weapons will also generally outclass the bolt-action rifle in this aspect. The aforementioned poor close-up accuracy also means that the bolt-action rifle needs a competent shooter in order to be used effectively.
+
== Acquisition ==

{{Acquisition}}

Bolt-action rifles can be [[trade|purchased]] from [[outlanders]] and orbital combat suppliers, or obtained from the following [[raider#Humanlike|raider]] kinds:
−
All things considered, the bolt-action rifle's most suited for field engagements (e.g. attacking siege camps) or as a general support weapon, both use cases due to its stopping power being able to slow down incoming melee or shorter-ranged ranged units combined with its range. As its description states, the bolt-action rifle is an excellent hunting weapon due to its respectable per-shot damage and long range, only being outdone by the [[sniper rifle]] and charge lance in this regard.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
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.

Bolt-action rifles can also be crafted at a [[machining table]] once the [[Research#Gunsmithing|gunsmithing]] research has been completed; from 60 [[steel]], 3 [[component]]s and {{Ticks|12000}} of work. A crafting skill of at least 5 is required.
+
== Analysis ==
 +
With a range of 36.9 tiles, the bolt-action rifle has extremely good range - the 2nd highest in the game, only beaten by an actual [[sniper rifle]]. It also has great accuracy, even beating the [[charge lance]]. In addition, the bolt-action rifle is able to stagger [[human]]s, [[cougar]]s, and all [[insectoids]].

However, the bolt-action rifle performs poorly in close ranges. In close quarters, it is easily outclassed by the likes of the [[revolver]] and [[autopistol]], let alone any sort of burst-fire weapon.
  
−
A bolt-action rifle is also one of the three starting weapons in the standard crashlanded [[scenario system|scenario]], along with a [[plasteel]] [[knife]] and a [[revolver]].
+
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.

=== 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 (~14.5 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock.
  
−
===Conclusion and Comparison===
+
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.  
−
Compared to the [[sniper rifle]], the bolt-action rifle has roughly half the time between shots but also slightly less than 75% damage as well as an 18% deficit in range - both weapons are heavily weighted on the warmup though, meaning that their damage output sees a significant increase when paired with a trigger-happy shooter. The bolt-action rifle also has a longer time between shots than the [[greatbow]], meaning that the latter has a higher damage output potential (realized at higher quality levels) while also being significantly cheaper and only seeing a 14% range deficit - though the bolt-action rifle has superior accuracy at longer distances.
 
  
 +
{{Weapon Stats Table}}
  
−
In head-on 1 vs. 1 fights between healthy level 8 shooters using granite chunks as cover from 35 cells away, the bolt-action rifle is 59% better than the sniper rifle, extending to a straight doubling of effectiveness once normal armor vests and [[simple helmet]]s are factored in. Against the greatbow at 27 cells, the bolt-action rifle performs 43.9% better, extending to 97% with armor - the shorter the distance, the closer the gap with things eventually going in the greatbow's favor. Against the [[assault rifle]] at the same distance, the bolt-action rifle performs 14.8% worse, with armor only making things worse for the bolt-action rifle as it performs 53.7% worse; the assault rifle performs more than twice as good here.

−
When tested in a small hilled temperate forest in the hands of six lightly-armored baseline level 8 shooters against nine decently-equipped and equally skilled pirate raiders, the bolt-action rifle puts up a decent performance, despite being substantially bottlenecked by the shooters for the majority of the time. Naturally the bolt-action rifle is best used as a support weapon due to its lack of burst fire, so the test conditions here could be considered a worse case scenario for the weapon since it's pushed completely to the forefront.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

* All testing is semi-automated which allows for large sample sizes to be gathered per set of results with ease

 +
* No pawns have any traits that affect combat performance
 +
* All pawns are of at least 18 years of age and completely healthy

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.
  
−
In conclusion, the bolt-action rifle is essentially as good as your best available shooters are when at normal quality; it's almost 100% accurate and will therefore impose very minimal hindrance for even really skilled shooters. If you're looking for something that has a decent range and can throw some punches, the bolt-action rifle serves that purpose quite well in the early game, although the assault rifle becomes a much more effective fulfillment of that role once you start encountering mercenary raiders and research [[research#PrecisionRifling|precision rifling]]. Unless extra range really matters for your playstyle, the bolt-action rifle is usually going to be a more reliable weapon than the sniper rifle, but the same can also be said for the assault rifle to the bolt-action rifle.

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[edit]

Bolt-action rifles can be crafted at a machining table once the gunsmithing research project has been completed. Each requires Steel 60 Steel, Component 3 Components, 12,000 ticks (3.33 mins) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter, and a crafting skill of 5.

Bolt-action rifles can be purchased from outlanders 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%

A single example is also given at the beginning with Crashlanded scenario.

Analysis[edit]

With a range of 36.9 tiles, the bolt-action rifle has extremely good range - the 2nd highest in the game, only beaten by an actual sniper rifle. It also has great accuracy, even beating the charge lance. In addition, the bolt-action rifle is able to 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 performs poorly in close ranges. In close quarters, it is easily outclassed by the likes of the revolver and autopistol, let alone any sort of burst-fire 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 ×3% multiplier on their real chance to hit a target 30 tiles away, regardless of the weapon used. A Shooting 8 pawn has ×29% 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.

Stats[edit]

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 (~14.5 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.

    Bolt-action rifle vs. comparable weapons[edit]

    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[edit]

    • 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.

    Unarmored[edit]

    For the unarmored testing, all pawns wore normal quality plainleather pants, plainleather button-down shirts, plainleather dusters and plainleather cowboy hats.
