DayZ Rifle Category
Halfway to a Sniper Rifle, but better than a melee weapon. Rifles are a good mid-game firearm that you replace quickly when you get military tier loot. While Rifles in DayZ do appear to perform like Sniper Rifles in some areas, they lack the damage, range and zeroing of long range guns. The line between what is a Rifle and what is a Sniper Rifle is very thin in DayZ and may change over time due to the addition of Weapon Attachments.
