I really want a Ranger Sequoia, they just look so bad-ass,but I preferably want to get one without having to kill a Ranger as I work with the ncr and dont wish to lose reputation with them.

Well if you don't mind losing a small bit of karma, go through with the Return To Sender quest and tell Chief Hanlon you're going to turn him in when given the chance. After he makes his speech, follow the ranger in physically grab the Sequoia, take it somewhere private and pick it up. And there's your gun. Thedarkscythe 20:52, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

It requires a little work, and some careful planning, but it's easy to pull off actually. There are two ways. The easiest way is to get a Silenced .22 Pistol, some .22 Bulk Ammo and go to Camp Golf. The Head Ranger dude has one, and he can be found hanging around on the resort balcony at the front of the building during the day. The door to the balcony is actually right above the main entrance. SAVE BEFORE YOU DO THIS, and make sure no one else is around. Equip your .22 pistol, head up to the balcony, enter sneak mode, fire a single shot at him, and when he pulls the gun out to defend himself, enter vats and target the gun. Make sure to spend ALL your AP on targetted attacks against the gun. You will shoot it right out of his hand. As soon as he drops it and you come out of VATS, put your weapon away, and then run over and pick it up. This will cause him to end the combat without him dying, and if you do it right and grab the gun before he can pick it up, you'll aquire the Ranger Seqouia with no loss of NCR rep, and none of the NCR people will become hostile. The gun will be broken, or badly damaged, and will need to be repaired before you can use it. This method can actually work for most of the Unique weapons in the game that are owned (Big Boomer, La Longue Carbine, Figaro) but the key is to make sure that no one else is nearby when you do it.

The second method requires going to Camp Forlorn Hope and talking to Tech Sergeant Reyes in the Command Tent, by the radio. She will give you a quest to deliver new radio codes to the Ranger Stations. When you complete this task, return to her and she will send you back to the Ranger Stations to confirm strange intelligence reports. After completing this task, return to her again and she will send you to Camp Golf to talk to the Head Ranger Guy and resolve the situation. One of the speech options basically says that you are going to turn him in, and he asks you to send a Ranger to his office to arrest him. Follow him to his office, and he will lock himself in, make a confession speech over the radio, and shoot himself in the head. Run into the room quickly, and the Ranger Sequoia will be found either on the desk, or on the floor beside it. You must grab it BEFORE anyone comes into the room to guard the body. 207.245.200.54
