How Country Rifle and Desert Eagle stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
A bolt-action hunting rifle with a fixed scope — slower than the sniper rifle but useful for medium-range engagements early in the game. Drops from rural pedestrians and stocks at Ammu-Nation from Las Venturas onward.
A hand-cannon .44 that drops most enemies in one or two shots and stays useful into the endgame. Available at Ammu-Nation from San Fierro onward, with maxed Pistol skill unlocking a tighter sway.
