The Hunting Revolver is a pistol in Fallout: New Vegas.
Gameplay[edit]
The Hunting Revolver is a large, double-action revolver that fires .45-70 Gov't ammunition. It has a scope attached by default, which grants a decent magnification at 2.46x. The revolver's base damage of 58 is the second highest of any non-energy pistol, and is surpassed only by the Ranger Sequoia. The weapon has a few drawbacks, including its low durability compared to other revolvers, and the relative scarcity of its ammunition type.
Durability[edit]
The Hunting Revolver can fire a total of about 545 standard rounds, the equivalent of 109 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
| Ammunition Type | Durability | |
|---|---|---|
| Shots | Reloads | |
| Standard & HP | 545 | 109 |
| SWC | 179 | 36 |
Variants[edit]
- Ranger Sequoia - a rare, more powerful, yet less valuable non-scoped version of the Hunting Revolver used by NCR Veteran Rangers.
Hunting Revolver (GRA) - a customizable variant added with the Gun Runners' Arsenal DLC.

Behind the Scenes[edit]
Joshua Sawyer has stated that the Hunting Revolver is based on the Magnum Research BFR, with elements taken from the Bison Bull as well.[Dev 1][Dev 2]
Bugs[edit]
If loading a saved game from the main menu in which you have a Hunting Revolver equipped and drawn, the reload animation takes twice as long as normal. This can be solved by simply switching to another gun and then back again.

- ↑ Question: "I have another Fallout: New Vegas weapon question for you, what gun, if any, is the Hunting revolver and Ranger Sequoia based on?"
Joshua Sawyer: "They're based on the Magnum Research BFR with a little bit of the short-lived Bison Bull."
(Fallout: New Vegas Developer Statements/Weapons; Joshua Sawyer: Hunting Revolver and Ranger Sequoia inspiration, 2013 January 29) - ↑ Joshua Sawyer: "In general, I prefer to give weapons functional names and avoid getting wrapped up in specific designations used by manufacturers or the military. Because our weapons must, for technical reasons, occasionally differ functionally from the weapons upon which they are based (different caliber, charging handle placement, receiver height, stock shape/length, etc.) giving them a more utilitarian name helps negate some of the potential pedantry over those deviations.
There are no AR-15s, Colt Commandos, Browning Hi-Powers, BFRs, M1 Garands, Winchester 1886s, 1887s, or 1892s in Fallout: New Vegas -- just Service Rifles, Assault Carbines, 9mm Pistols, Hunting Revolvers, This Machine, Brush Guns, Lever-Action Shotguns, and Cowboy Repeaters.
That's also why there are no M1911s or Thompsons in Honest Hearts, but you'll find plenty of .45 Auto Pistols and .45 Auto Submachine Guns."
