100% it also had great range and accuracy at the time. More of a bolt action guy myself now but I wouldn't be the level I am at my Xbox account without that
I personally like using the varmint rifle in story mode just because of how good the sights are the fact you can mount a scope low recoil and the sheer amount of bullets you have in the magazine. It’s basically free head shots as long as you can aim
I guess it has the most range as all small animals are best killed by it so I’d have to agree with you. But whenever I see a 3 star deer I always pull out the rolling block rifle.
Are people surprised a .22 works like a .22? Granted there was still an old lady irl who killed a record grizzly once with one when it came after her on her trap line.
@@dukemeiser19 huh. Well I'll be damned. After I typed that I actually remembered an old story bout an old dude in a bar around here getting shot in the leg with one and dug it out with a case knife and went back to drinking
This guns rate of fire along with my high like of headshots meant I absolutely SMASHED this game using the Varmint rifle, I made sure to finish American Venom with it as a salute
When I first started playing Red Dead 2, I was a little confused as to what was considered "small game." Because when I found the legendary fox, I only had the varmint rifle and thought "This should be good enough for it." It's a good thing pelt quality isn't a concern for legendary animals, because that poor thing was basically peppered to death
I love the missions where you end up with the last weapons you used.. 99% of the time I'm stuck with the varmint rifle and a sniper rifle you can't take the scope off.. Sometimes I have a worn cattleman and a regular one instead of dual wielding the LaMat like I usually do... Gooooood I hate the fact that you can't remove worn weapons you picked up from the horse once you've gotten it
Can't tell ya how many flocks of birds I've wiped out with this gun. It's great for small animals (I've killed so many that it was considered poaching and I gained a small amount of bad honor each time I did it) and headshots on people but anything bigger than a beaver (with a clean headshot) might as well just use the bow.
This is gonna sound crazy but on my first playthrough I was on chapter 2 for like 100 hours I was exploring the maps unlocking the collectibles getting stuff at the trapper and much more and in all of those 100 hours only thing I was using was my varmint rifle maybe sometimes I was using something else but literally every pvp encounter every hostile camp like everything I was using the varmint and ngl it improved my aim a lot because if you miss the head you basically fucked up and it forces you to aim towards the head better
The autoaim when you lock on always goes to the same spot so just get good at flicking the aim up a bit and the Varmint Rifle becomes a headshot MACHINE. Like the game becomes too easy because you can just literally headshot everybody out to a huge range.
You're welcome pal, as a trivia -- this weapon was manufactured from 1890 to 1941, and was still at sale till the 1990s, so it had a lifetime of about 100 years!@@TK--ch9jl

Before i played red dead 2, my brother told me that the varmint rifle was the best gun for hunting because it doesn’t ruin the pelt so i tried using it on a deer 😂
Jesse didn't have a hidden revolver. A revolver we holds 6 shots, and he shot the dude in the duel 5 times, and when the gun wa stolen, the person who stole it got multiple shots off before jesse blew his brains out. Edit: I watched the scene again, and I was wrong.
The varmint rifle was OP in the early days of red dead online because a headshot with any weapon killed people instantly and the varmint was only $80
Nice
"Only." 80 bucks back then would be over a thousand dollars today

The tranq rounds were for specific Profession missions or whatever in the Online mode, they're not supposed to be accessible in Singleplayer.
too bad i used them
I LOOOOVE THE SOUND❤
In story mode it’s op. 14 rounds, rapid fire, 1 shot headshots.
As long as you have full deadeye it’s a beast
I actually love it, genuinely one of my favorites just because its fun.
Best weapon if you want them to suffer for sure.

10/10 absolute crowd sweeper, better than auto shotgun and pump shotgun at all range.

classic rockstar design
i mainly use it when i’m trying to move through the swamp so i can hit the alligators and they just run away
i just love using it to spray enemies its super fast
I have a Rampage mod menu and using this gun with infinite ammo, never cock, and tenfold bullets is so fun. It's like a 1899 AR15
yikes

I would use it with deadeye when low on other ammo and as long as it's headshots works graet.
Making an outfit for each town is such a good idea don’t you agree? I would love to see in the future
Dope
I like using it for regular combat. Really make you have to think bat we’re your aiming
Ngl kinda funny in combat if you deadeye headtap you can take down half the west with a lil 22lr
I use the varmit rifle just cuz I actually like the feel of it and it’s actually not half bad in a fight
Very good for story mode bc the accuracy and one shot capability
It looks like a rolling block with the scope taken off
Pretty sure the real life version of the litchfield is also chambered in .22
The autoaim when you lock on always goes to the same spot so just get good at flicking the aim up a bit and the Varmint Rifle becomes a headshot MACHINE.

Aimbot with the varmint rifle is crazy
All I hunt with is a varmint rifle and a bow.
I like the 22 its good for headshots and speed
Its typed .22 because its .22 inches saying its .22 caliber implies that its .22 of .01 an inch
Those tranquilizer rounds are more potent in mgs4.
