The target area for this weapon is the center of the sighting circle. Although powerful, aim your shot well. The shotgun will scare plant eaters, causing them to scatter, but the noise will alert dangerous carnivores.

In Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD and Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn, the rifle (officially called a high-caliber rifle) is the first weapon available for use. It costs nothing, and is a very effective starting weapon. The rifle is bolt-action, and can fire off 3 bullets before it has to reload. It has average damage, average range, and averagely loud.
In Dinosaur Hunt, the rifle can now fire off 5 bullets before it has to reload.
In Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter, the rifle's firing sound is swapped with that of the sniper rifle. However, as of recent it uses its original firing sound, and now shares it with the sniper rifle.
The rifle is one of the three weapons in the Carnivores series with a reloading animation. The other two are the pistol and the shotgun.
The rifle shares a nearly identical reload animation with the shotgun.
In Carnivores Ice Age, the rifle has a wooden stock.
In Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter HD and Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn, there is an engraving on the back-left side of the rifle, which is best viewed while sprinting. It reads "C1-Dinoslayer Limited Edition". It also features an engraving just below the iron sights which reads "RPTR II-23". The real name of the rifle is not stated, but the look and stats confirm that it is a modern hunting rifle chambered in 9.3x 63 Mauser, which is powerful but not the greatest caliber / cartridge for very long range.
The latest version of Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter increased the amount of ammunition given with the rifle to 16 as opposed to the previous 14. The reload animation for the rifle has also returned, but is only seen if all 16 rounds are expended and a supply drop is collected.
