After you have completed certain parts of the game's story, you can also get a ready-made sniper rifle. This is the task "The Sheep of the Goats" commissioned by John Marston, which involves stealing sheep and bringing them to the farm. This is one of the final main tasks of the second chapter of the campaign. In order to complete this mission, the heroes will visit a gun shop in Valentine and you will be able to choose Rolling Block Rifle from the offer for free.
