My first addon can be downloaded from this address:

A bolt action, open sight, repeating heavy stopping rifle in .600NE caliber.

It is for tank hunting? ;)

Well I guess you could try to hunt some german Elephants with it since the real world thing was also made for elephants

Are you planing in an scoped version?

I just downloaded now, I'll check it out after I finish my piza

btw, I take it it's not JAMed.

Thanks for all the comments everyone. I'm trying to do more addons if time permits.

Scopes are AFAIK not used in real life because of the 50-100m practical range. However if gameplay is at stake without scope that would be a different story.

My objective normally is to make as realistic weapon as humanly possible, however playability must be considered. Who would like to play with muzzle loading 1750's rifle with one shot a minute...

It's not JAM comtatible because I'm still learning things. The caliber itself is quite rare and I'm not aware of any other weapon in OFP using .600NE. In real life (AFAIK) .600NE rifles made by different manufacturers would very likely have incombatible magazines.

Good work here, the rifle is an absolute beast!

The sounds are great, and I'm glad you added your own iron sights and put the bolt on the right side (if you haven't noticed already, the BIS Hunting Rifle has the bolt on the left side)

Perhaps the next version could have some improved textures, and maybe a version with optical sights (even if they aren't used IRL)?

Edit: oh, and by the way, maybe you could go a step further than Teacup's dog addon and make an elephant? We need some huntable fauna to grace our islands with!
