Bolt Action Sniper

The Bolt Action Sniper is the premier long-range precision weapon in GTA VI's Leonida arsenal, favored by patient shooters who value one-shot lethality over volume of fire. Modeled after classic American hunting rifles that populate the gun racks of every rural Leonida home, it bridges the gap between sport and criminal enterprise. In the swamps and open farmland outside Vice City, this rifle turns any elevated position into a killzone, making it indispensable for recon missions and contract hits where discretion matters more than firepower.

Visually inspired by the Remington 700, the Bolt Action Sniper features a heavy contour barrel, a synthetic or wooden stock with adjustable cheek riser, and a matte blued finish that reduces glare in Leonida's harsh sunlight. The bolt handle is oversized for fast cycling, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for a wide range of optics from basic hunting scopes to military-grade thermals.

Damage per shot is among the highest of any non-explosive weapon, capable of downing unarmored targets with a single well-placed round at extreme distances. Accuracy is exceptional when stationary or prone, though the slow bolt cycle between shots punishes missed follow-ups. Recoil is sharp but manageable, resettling quickly for a second shot if the first doesn't land clean.

Ammu-Nation offers heavy barrel upgrades for extended range, a deployable bipod for steady prone shooting, and a selection of camouflage wraps suited to Leonida's diverse terrain - from Everglades marsh patterns to urban Vice City concrete. Scope options range from a basic 4x hunting optic to a high-powered 12x variable zoom with illuminated reticle.

Available at Ammu-Nation locations across Leonida after mid-story progression, with early access possible through rural hunting outfitters in the Grassrivers region or as a reward for completing recon-themed stranger missions in the northern marshlands.
