Bolt-action Rifle

The Bolt-action Rifle is the first of two sniper rifles. It is purchased from the Merchant for 12,000 pesetas. It can be equipped with a custom scope for extremely long-range sniping for 7,000 pesetas. It must be re-cocked after each shot, taking the player out of the aiming mode. Additionally, a thermal imaging scope is found on the island base, and is especially useful against all varieties of Regenerator.

The Bolt-action Rifle takes up 9 spaces (9x1) of Leon's inventory. The custom and thermal scopes take up 3 spaces (3x1) each.

To start, it has a firepower of 4.0, can fire every 0.67 seconds, takes 4.00 seconds to reload, and has a capacity of 5 rounds.

Fully upgraded, it has a firepower of 12.0, can fire every 0.67 seconds, takes 2.33 seconds to reload, and has a capacity of 18 rounds. The Bolt-action Rifle costs 289,000 pesetas to fully upgrade (296,000 including the custom scope).

Its exclusive upgrade increases its firepower to 18.0 (30.0 in the PS2 and Wii ports), making it more powerful than the Semi-auto Rifle.

Although the Bolt-action Rifle has greater firepower than its Semi-auto counterpart, however the Semi-auto rifle has a much faster rate of fire (once fully upgraded) and allows for uninterrupted aiming because of its semi-automatic action.
