Rifles

Remington Model 700

Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner) uses what may be a Remington Model 700 of some sort in his first scene. The rifle is fitted with a telescopic sight and is covered in white camouflage wrapping, hindering identification.

Marlin Model 1895SBL

Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner) carries a scoped Marlin Model 1895SBL, which he uses to devastating effect in the climactic gunfight. Earlier in the film, Lambert is seen loading his own ammunition for this rifle, and according to his digital loading scale, he appears to be using 500gr bullets hence the devastating effect. Trivia: While Lambert is depicted as working for U.S. Fish & Wildlife, Animal Damage Control was moved to the Department of Agriculture in 1985.
