Best Marksman Rifle for Deadeye Build

[Jhones]

yeah as title. playing an alt sniper, but i'm just not that good a shot so this build is great for me, but as this is my first foray into sniping I've no idea about the various marksman rifles, so what'd be best for a full deadeye build?

The best sniper rifle in the game is the First Wave M1A

I like my M700 Carbon even though it has a small clip size of 7 and a slow rate of fire.

M700 all the way, not even optimized I was easily able to pump out 350k+ body hits with deadeye and up close you can hip shot for those sweet 800k headshots

It depends on how you play the set.

I've found it's most effective for me when you use a non-zooming scope like iron sights and a high RPM gun. You don't actually want to zoom in when you hit your zoom button, because that's for headshots which you don't need with DE since you lose the headshot increase. You want your retical to remain the same as non zoomed when zoomed in, because you have the advatage of it turning red when ever you are on target, you don't get that with an X zoom scope.

These four would be the best for that purpose.
M1A: Highest RPM @ 300 but a bit hard to handle at times and a smaller mag @10 so I'd spec some reload time to reduce that penalty.
MK-17 or SSR: Still high RPM @ 275 bit easier to handle and a much better mag @ 20 each with their own handling characteristics.
SCAR-H: Same as the previous 2 but in tests edge's them out for sustained damage, with a bit less bloom and handling problems AFAIK.

You want to control your bloom with accuarcy and keep your crit damage high. I have aprox 110% crit damage and I hit for 130-150K, but my RPM is really high, especially when I'm closer and don't have to worry about bloom as much. So I'm quickly taking down my targets over 5-6 hits.

I wouldn't recommend low RPM high damage rifles with DE like the M700, SRS, or M44. While yes you can hit pretty hard with the intial shot, it's much harder to maintain sustained damage due to the lower RPM and the smaller mag causing constant reloading. Low RPM High damage rifles are better for full zoom headshots IMHO and work best with sets like Sentry's Call, or Hunter's Faith.

I don't PvP, so I can't say. But you might have an adavantage with a lower RPM high damage rilfe like the M700 and DE in the DZ. But I've tried both combo's in PvE and found my TTK was much better with a SCAR-H or MK-17. But again YMMV.

M700 with a decent reload mod if you want bolt-action. The reload mod makes a reload as fast as a shot cycle so it's basically consistent shots. Balanced talent is also nice because you can pop your head out of cover to pop of a quick shot then let it cycle in cover, rinse repeat.

SVD if you want semi-auto. Main reason is because for some reason or another, the SVD really doesn't have bloom. While other semi's will have high rpm, their bloom make it useless when you have to wait for the bloom to shrink, yet the SVD you can pop all the shots off you want in quick succession and the bloom seems nonexistent.

But if you know your rifle and mod it right bloom isn't nearly that bad a problem IMHO.

Cheers for the info. Got lucky with a red dot sight (+18% crit dmg), currently using an M700 and it is really satisfying seeing those 270k plus hits.

Will see if the RnG gods smile on me and drop me a nice SVD or similar to try out.

Isn't nearly that bad vs basically no bloom even without mods though.

SVD is basically the pre-fixed balanced m1a. You can get 3 100% accuracy shots while any other semi gets 2 in the same time. All the dps charts seems to inflate the Scar-H because of the high magazine and high rpm not accounting for the bloom. I don't mind the reload as long as you time it right.

I actually have a Scar-H with Destructive, Brutal, and Coolheaded and it gets extremely neglected for my SVD with the same talents. The Scar-H is nice for sustained dps when things don't shoot you but nothing compared to how much burst I can get out with my SVD before the not so long reload or suppression.

I'm partial to the custom M44 which can take an extended magazine. It's great when pinned down as a quick pop up and shoot can cause serious damage while taking very little. I have an assault rifle for easier circumstances.
