The Big Game Hunter is designed with tradition in mind. It offers a more conservative approach to firearms to give the customer a more ancient feel of hunting. Using wood for the stock and the underbarrel rather than a complete package of duraplast is just a cosmetic touch and serves only to improve aesthetics.
The Big Game Hunter could in simple words be described as an upgraded version of a bowcaster. Corondex's first line of production of firearms utilized bowcaster principles of energy-coated slugs and thus the company has had its fair share of knowledge in developing weapons of such type.
The idea of utilizing a bolt-action and a very limited mag is also part of the concept to give a more authentic feel to hunting and a greater challenge.
The hunting rifle can only be purchased on the Wildlands Game Reserve.
