The Varmint Rifle is a weapon featured in Red Dead Redemption 2 and in Red Dead Online.
Description
The quick-firing Lancaster Varmint Rifle is designed for hunting small mammals and large birds, using a special low-caliber type of ammunition with reduced damage. However, the large ammo capacity and fast fire rate make this an effective weapon against large groups of enemies. This gun has an ammo capacity of fourteen rounds, and can only use .22 caliber ammo.
Acquisition
This rifle is available from all gunsmiths after completing "Eastward Bound"; players who purchased the Special or Ultimate editions receive the weapon for free.
