I (original author Diakyuto, the same below) like the lever type, but I think the pulling method in the original version is... questionable. I understand their purpose, low dispersion highly accurate lever rifle. However, the recoil feels weak. It doesn’t feel like you’re shooting a big rifle, more like you’re shooting a barrel-style bolt-action rifle. It starts with very low damage, and you should choose the Power Receiver, which gives it a massive 75% damage boost. Yes, you'll actually go from a +25% strong receiver to a 75% strong receiver. It's meant to keep you up to speed with the Far Harbor DLC, but it ends up feeling cheap. (Nukaworld AK has similar issues, but is arguably worse.) Everything else is fine, to be honest, but I chose to change things I usually do in mods. So these changes will work better with my mod! At least the simplified version.

Aiming model overhaul - I used the aiming model of the original hunting rifle and WARS Leif rifle as a base, but I adjusted the values ​​to make it more suitable for original players. It has more power in the hind legs and wider dispersion, but is still better than a shotgun in terms of hip-fire accuracy and recoil.

Lever-action rifles are now classified as "sniper" and lever-action rifles are now right-handed. (To be honest, I don’t mind that it’s left-handed, and to be honest I think the lever action animation is pretty good. But I’ll explain why in a moment)

Heavy receivers do about the same damage as hardened receivers, but at the cost of weight.

A lightweight action simply makes the gun lighter. Increase AP bonus.

Tuning the receiver now increases the rate of fire by 50% instead of 25%.

Standardized damage progression. The crafting system will adjust accordingly.

Damage increased to 52. With Advance Receiver, you do slightly more damage than the original. The course of the final injury is much more natural.

AP cost reduced to 34

Inventory data has been adjusted

You can now increase the ammo count from 5 to 7 rounds. There are also new third-person and first-person reloading systems! Thanks to Hitman and Antistar.

Adjusted barrel progression. (Short > Short Long >> Long > Long > Long Long (Extension tube)

New muzzle: Bayonet provided by Spadey!

Compensator now has -5% spell bonus (great for VATS builds!)

Suppressors take a -7.5% damage penalty. I don't care if it's realistic or not. You get stealth crits and ace operators. You will survive.

New sight upgrades: You start with pin sights, then have rear sights and rear luminous sights. If you've ever used a pump shotgun, this is similar to what I modified. Whether it's Ithaca, Remington or Mossberg.

Reflex sights have been nerfed. Luminous sights now provide the most armor penetration. The armor penetration point of reflex sights has been reduced to -15% to -2.5%.

Added "Combat Sight". Better attributes than reflex sights, but at the cost of smaller field of view.

Nida Vision added, thanks to Antistar.

Added Aim Point/Professional Combat Scope

JKRuse’s WATTZ night vision scope module is a must-have so you can …

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
