There isn't one true best weapon. People may say that Soma or some other weapon is the best, but in all honesty a "Best Weapon" is all up to opinion.

Numbers own opinions. That being said. No matter how much you like a crap Supra, it will tecnically less powerful than a hand of other primaries.
Answering the OP question: Absolutelly Soma. Its like a AK-47 of the game.

the endless joys of a properly modded Latron prime... certainly not the most frequent critter , but it does it fairly often and when it crits, it crits hard, thing is... when it doesn't crit, it still hits pretty hard. it's efficient with its ammo consumption as well. as always, aim for heads, but with latron prime, you often end up making up for a missed headshot with a 5.5x crit.

Serration-Split Chamber-Point Strike-Vital Sense
Shred-Hammer shot- and 2 elements of your choice to best suit the mood.
ooooor... if it suits you better, you can swap out hammer shot for any of the bane mods. it really is the one spot in the build that hast the most room for preference.

Boltor prime

The OP asked not considering primes... lol
Everyone who aswer a prime weapon has a "little" text interpretation issue...

A lot of people gave advice on non-Primes but I know I also mentioned a Prime... Even if the information isn't immediately relevant it's useful for them to have. Oh and OP, here's a link to the wiki which has some pretty detailed weapon stats and things: http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/WARFRAME_Wiki

Synapse. But when I feel like going all Jesse Ventura on them I use the Bolter Prime.

[Papa Yash]

Boltor Prime is the top tier rifle (rule over all others), but, if you ask for a non prime the answer is automatically Soma.

If I had to pick it would be the following, based on use. All should be/need to be forma 2-3 times, to get the most out of them and a fast hands mod for faster reloading is a must too.
1. Latron (prime if possible), a high damage, sharpshooter type weapon, good at mid to long range.
2. Soma, a high payload, fast firing, light machine-gun, best at close to mid range. Very good for heavy combat against large groups. A crit build is a absolute must, otherwise it's a crap gun.
3. Karak, a good all around rifle, the 30 round payload is no big deal, just fire short burst and aim better.

omg you guys he said no prime....

[B4TTL3P1G]

Ogris ♥♥♥♥♥ rockets so that's kinna good...

Tested the Penta recently and I was impressed, had only 2 mods, no formas, no potato and I was still killing groups of grineer in a survival mission after 20 minutes in a single shot, after 30 mins it was taking a few more so we decided to leave, I think I'll invest in this one.

Penta/Ogris is useful in open areas and/or against groups of enemies. Mostly defense and mobile defense missions. Use it in corridors or small rooms for you own risk.
