bolt-action anti-materiel rifle

Serving both anti-materiel and high-priority sniping roles in their service with various militaries, bolt-action rifles, such as this one, were known for their long ranges of engagement, recoil, and armor-defeating ordinance. Essentially a step below light cannonry, as far as shoulder-arms are concerned, this weapon's mix of power and accuracy meet hands to ensure that, before the Cataclysm, one shot was synonymous with one very, very dead target.
