{{Info|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.}}
+
</onlyinclude>
 +
The '''bolt-action rifle''' has considerably long range, high accuracy, moderate damage, and a somewhat long overall cooldown period. You'll ideally want to equip somebody with at least 97% post-processed shooting accuracy to be somewhat efficient with the bolt-action rifle at maximum range - one way of achieving this is with a healthy colonist with at least 10 shooting skill. Do note that bolt-action rifles can outrange automated gun turrets.
  
The bolt-action rifle will [[deterioration|deteriorate]] when left outdoors, under the usual conditions.
 
  
== Acquisition ==
+
Bolt-action rifles can be purchased from outlander or orbital combat suppliers, found equipped by outlander and pirate [[raider]]s, or manufactured. You'll also start with one survival rifle with the 'Crashlanded' scenario.
Bolt-action rifles can be crafted at a [[{{P|Production Facility 1}}]] once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.
 
  
Bolt-action rifles can be [[trade|purchased]] from [[outlanders]] and orbital combat suppliers, or obtained from the following [[raider#Humanlike|raider]] kinds:

Bolt-action rifles can be purchased from outlander combat suppliers or towns, or from an orbital weapons trader - or taken from incapacitated [[raider#Mercenaries|mercenaries]], [[raider#Outlanders|outlanders]], and [[raider#Pirates|pirates]]. Bolt-action rifles can also be manufactured at a [[machining table]] once the [[research#Machining|machining]] research has been completed; from 60 [[steel]], 3 [[component]]s, and 25000 ticks (417 secs) of work.

A single example is also given at the beginning with [[Scenario system#Crashlanded|Crashlanded scenario]].
 
  
== Analysis ==
+
A bolt-action rifle is also one of the three starting weapons from the [[Scenario system#Crashlanded|crashlanded scenario]], alongside a [[pistol]] and a [[plasteel]] [[knife]].
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]]. 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 ×{{%|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.
+
===Conclusion and Comparison===
 +
The bolt-action rifle can be seen as a rapid-fire, more skill-friendly alternative to the overall more powerful [[sniper rifle]]. Due to its attributes, the survival rifle remains a useful weapon throughout all stages of the game, and works nicely when a few bolt-action rifle shooters are mixed amongst many [[charge rifle]] shooters.
  
=== 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.
 
  
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.  
+
It fares much better at close range than the sniper rifle. Sniper rifles are very inaccurate at close range, while bolt-action rifles fare much better.

==Trivia==
 +
*The survival rifle used to be called the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee%E2%80%93Enfield Lee-Enfield] in older versions of RimWorld. In real life, the Lee-Enfield is a reliable and powerful bolt-action, magazine-fed, repeating rifle that was used primarily by the British military in the early 20th century, notably during World War I and II. The Lee-Enfield had a 10-round magazine (loaded with 5-round "charger clips") and used a .303 caliber (7.7mm) cartridge.
 +
*Its name before Alpha 17 was the '''Survival rifle'''.
 +
*Bolt-action rifles with Masterwork or above quality are capable of producing 100% accuracy across all ranges. It's the only standard weapon capable of such a feat in-game.

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 ===

The below graphs assume an unmodified shooter using a Normal quality weapon.

[[File:BoltActionRifleAccuracyNoTrait.png|494px|Bolt-action rifle's accuracy with various shooters without any traits.]]
* 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

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.
