Your Bolt/Lever action Rifle preferences

We currently have several options on the  category of rifles with manual action, some are more unique than others.

Which of these guns do you prefer to use more and for which cases.

Here is when I use which ones by order of preference:

1)GVT 45-70

I appreciate the fact this rifle serves as a much more aggressive sniper rifle with a rate of fire almost close to that of the slowest firing semi auto rifle. It stands appart from the SVK in that a headshot is rewarded with an OHK. It also has a tighter hip-fire than other manual action rifles.

2)NTW-50

This gun has a different value than its designation as an anti material rifle (thanks for the nerfs on that :S). Because it is OHK anywhere on the body up to 149m it is the greatest "sniper rifle" to complete bothersome Sniper rifle kill missions with. For that alone it is valuable to me.

3)SWS-10

This is the all rounder that I ended up using a lot more recently due to the Gol-Magnum assignment. It has a good balance of velocity + rate of fire. I can use it fine for both sniping and countersniping ever since the x5 scope came out.

4)DXR-1

This is my least used rifle by far. The reason being that its rate of fire is so slow that anything less than a headshot would be  a hassle with all the fast targets out there. But when I think about it, a 1000m/s velocity is pretty neat if I unlock the x5 scope on it, it would be a great rifle specifically for revenge on a sniper who found some absurd camping perch and needs to suffer the consequences of that recent death of mine.

I cannot comment yet on the Gol Magnum. (funny edit: I originally mistyped Magnum as Mangun)

  • Not a big sniper but I use the SWS-10 when I do. I'm curious to try the Gol "Mangun" as well, but need to unlock it first too.

    @ElliotLH It seems to be really strong right now. 50m ohk on chest with quick ADS.
    It might be my go to rifle with x4 optics.

    Well, I play mostly dxr and only with 10x scope. I take near-medium-long ranges.

    @Man_iLoveFishinghow are the enemies reacting to the x10 lighthouse? the DXR is certainly a real headshot machine with its minimal drop.

    Personally I am usually shying away from more than x5

    @UP_Hawxxeye haha light house 😂, they see it clearly even trough smoke, but usually I only zoom when I see enemy. So my search is minimal.
  • I'm terrible with snipers in general but will opt for the SWS when attacking infantry -- This gun can be extremely wonky though if used in Portal lobbies with velocity changes.

    If Vehicles are hammering my team from a distance I'll bust out the anti material but I can never quite get the drop to work in my favour.

    I'm hearing mixed feelings about the Mangun - you either love it or hate it

  • I've been working on their T1 Mastery. NTW was the most fun for me. SWS was the easiest. GVT I haven't started yet. DXR is WAY better with the 5x and occasionally a suppressor. I'm way too slow to aim accurately so scope glint is a huge no-no for me

    Currently trying to T1 the DXR.  Need about 125 kills to go.    I like the range on this gun.  With the long barrel, you can shoot across the big maps and still get a OHK.   My longest OHK is 700+ meters.

    I was on the his in Conquest Hourglass at the spawn point behind Delta, and I OHK someone on top of the crane at the stadium at Alpha.  There was some drop, but not alot.   

    I also got quite a few kills on the old renewal map behind the Alpha areas in the hills.  I would camp there and shoot the people on the roof of Delta

    You cannot go wrong with the long barrel range of the DXR
