Wind River is a 2017 contemporary Western crime/thriller film set in and around the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming. After he finds a dead Native American girl in the snow, Fish and Wildlife Agent Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner) joins forces with FBI Special Agent Jane Banner (Elizabeth Olsen) and Tribal Police Chief Ben Shoyo (Graham Greene) to find the killer. Wind River is only the second film directed by Taylor Sheridan, the actor/screenwriter who recently gained acclaim for his screenplays to the films Sicario and Hell or High Water.
The following weapons were used in the film Wind River:
Agent Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner) carries a stainless steel Ruger Super Blackhawk revolver with a 4 5/8-inch barrel, adjustable rear sight, fluted cylinder and wooden grips. (Possibly chambered for .44 Magnum or .45 Colt.)
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.
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.
