A real Marlin Model 336

The Rifle is a basic lever-action repeater rifle featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Hitting the aim button with this won't invoke an auto-target reticule, but instead skips straight to a free-aim mode. Given its lack of a lock-on feature and slow reloading, one might think it is rather pointless to use. However, with a per-bullet damage rate behind only to the sniper rifle, minigun, and desert eagle (at Gangster level and up), it does earn its keep in the hands of a decent marksman. The rifle is based on the Marlin Model 336.

In The Truth's mission Body Harvest, Carl Johnson needs to rob a Combine Harvester from The Farm, just north of The Truth's farm in Leafy Hollow. The workers will start shooting Carl with rifles and attacking with shovels.

Locations

Mulholland, Los Santos - Near a pool of a house west of the Mulholland Safehouse
Back o' Beyond, Flint County - On a rock formation
Foster Valley, San Fierro - Near the southwest corner of Corvin Stadium
Available to buy at any Ammu-Nation store for $1,000 upon completion of Body Harvest.

Trivia

The Rifle has three weapon skills defined in the game's files, however only one is used in the game.
Lacks the cocking animation. Instead, a cocking sound is played and the shooter just stands still until it's ready to fire again. And to add it up, no shells were ejected in each "cock".
The Rifle's game model name is cuntgun, short for "country gun."

-The '''Rifle''' is a basic lever-action repeater rifle featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], one might expect to see in the hands of a hunter or a cowboy. Hitting R1 with this won't invoke an auto-target reticle, but instead skips straight to a free-aim mode like that of its assault flavored brethren. Given its lack of a lock-on feature and slow reloading, one might think it rather pointless to use. However, with a per-bullet damage rate second only to the [[Sniper Rifle|sniper rifle]], [[Mini-Gun|mini-gun]], and [[Desert Eagle|desert eagle]] (at Gangster level and up), it does earn its keep in the hands of a decent marksman.
