vapiscz 1 Posted January 3, 2017 Hey guys, since my beginning with this game (more than 2 years ago) I love Repeater .357. Unfortunatelly it is not much use now with all these AKs, M4s, etc. But what actually could make this great rifle much more atractive would be a scope. It is not something, what wouldn't exist in the real world. Effective range could be just 200 meters. I think it would be best looking survival rifle in the game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know for sure, but I think Repeater doesn't actually have rail system that could support Hunting Scope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything can be fit on anything, but only if you have right tools and skills to do the job and add few attachments that support other kind of attachments. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
green_mtn_grandbob 594 Posted January 4, 2017 I also have fitted offset side mounts on lever actions, as my job as a gunsmith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Gews- 7443 Posted January 4, 2017 According to current DayZ universe it's not necessary to have the proper mounts or prep work. Observe the compatibility of the 'hunting scope' or the PU. However, the repeater with its moving breech bolt and top ejection is a bit more obvious than the others and in this case they can't just slap it on top of the receiver. As green_mtn_grandbob said it either needs to be mounted forward or on a side mount. The former would be easier but they couldn't (or rather, shouldn't) use the 'hunting scope' because that is not a long eye relief scope. We do have a scope with a long eye relief in this game. The 'pistol scope'. They could do that. The repeater has no rail to accept it, but that's no worse than some of the other weapon/optic combinations. I wouldn't get your hopes up—I don't think the devs intended this weapon to have a scope attachment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, can you imagine character with completely crafted leather clothes, leather backpack and repeater? It is awesome. But with no scope would be very short time live for this character... :( And also some picture, that it is not something, whyt would be possible. To be honest much crafted weapons, such a pipe rifle or something, would be much more fun, that whole army set. Of course it would mean some workbench and tools, but if I remeber correctly, devs plan this already... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Henry Big Boy is a different rifle with a different action... If you want existing magnified optics to attach to the 'Repeater' you would be stuck (at best) with the 'pistol scope' mounted forward, like this: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sneakydude 480 Posted January 5, 2017 I too love the repeater, and if i could duct tape a long range scope to the top i would. So i can duct tape a bottle as a silencer, but i cant duct tape a scope to the top?? I know... don't go there sneaky, but i too have dreams... and duct tape fixes all!!!
