This rifle is used twice by Scorpio in the film. The first time is at the beginning of movie when he shoots the woman in the swimming pool.The second time when he is on a rooftop and assembling it, preparing to kill another victim since the city had not paid him.. The rifle has a large compensator (or perhaps a sound supressor) on the barrel. It is also scoped. According to the script it is a 30-06 rifle. The rifle is a "takedown" configuration since it is clearly shown to be in two parts and carried by Scorpio is a case.
