Removing the barrel stabilizer thus worsening the recoil of the Spitfire & reducing the hit distance I feel has nerfed the gun a little too far & it's for those reasons at times I prefer picking the Rampage than the Spitfire despite the Rampage being slowerI feel it is a liitle easier to control particularly over mid-range. Regarding the 301 despite many players I hear saying it has very little recoil etc etc i just don't see it myself with the recoil making it a little awkward to control in terms of getting most shots on target per clip/round.I just find myself taking 2 clips to down an enemy on average with the 301 whereas the Spitfire,Rampage,Flatline & Hemlok is usually 1 clip (mostly because they have bigger clip sizes).It just feels to me that the 301 needs a few more bullets per clip.
