Carcano Rifle

The M1891 Carcano Rifle is a powerful bolt-action rifle available in Red Dead Redemption. It is the service rifle of the Italian Army, a weapon that would have actually been quite rare in the American West and is a symbol of changing times, morals and ideals.

The Carcano Rifle is seen in several trailers for the game and is somewhat hard to spot. It is seen in the "buy screen" as well as on Marston's back and in one trailer shooting over an outlook.

The Carcano Rifle can be purchased at the Gunsmith in Blackwater for $550.

It performs in a similar manner to the Rolling Block rifle, however, it holds 5 rounds in a clip and so has a far faster rate of fire and reload time.

The uses Sniper Rifle Ammo.
