Beware of the man with one gun. As a sniper I try to lead people and shoot at chopper pilots etc. Making those hard shots happens more often if I stick with one gun, one scope configuration and get totally married to it.
For TDM, there are arguable better combos, such as faster cycling bolt guns etc, but I stick to the M98.
I chose it because it shoots flat enough for consistent 1000m+ shots and has a faster velocity and holds more rounds than the SRR.
I don't use range finders and I don't zero because that stuff takes too long to use for aggressive sniping and I do better with just aiming higher.
If you like sitting far away and just hunting people, the SRR shoots a little slower, but it shoots flatter. So for long distance camping the SRR should suit you well, but I have yet to find a distance too far to hit someone with the M98 and an 8x-14x scope setup.
M98 was a great all around sniper rifle in BF3 too, ahh the memories.

The velocity difference is negligible. The bullet drop however isn't.
The only other difference between the two is the magazine size, and honestly if you're cycling a bolt action to an empty magazine in normal you're doing something wrong I think.
Except that a 5% increase in bullet speed is immaterial. The drop is waaaaay more important. You're trading drop for extra capacity. People should learn the SRR-61. The M98B has some sentimental value for you, but beyond that it's been replaced.
I unlocked the F2000 today with the air burst and M249.
Although I'm level 65 I got my first knife kill that wasn't a counter knife. My heart was beating out of my chest. All I could think of was Dave Chappelle saying "Gotcha Bitch"!
I've also finally hit a .9 K/D which is a long way from the .7 where it stayed for a long while. I think I focus too much on dropping med packs, ammo, spotting and reviving. I also have a bad habit of providing covering fire after I revive which usually gets me killed.

is the free unlock for DMRs (Premium users) available yet? i've already gotten the handgun one. I'm nto seeing the DMR one available.
Anyone know the fastest way to get five vehicle destroy in Oman?
I'll play with it some more. If nothing else maybe i'll use it as my super long range gun. I could do some funny camping with the 40x scope.

Lay mines on the vehicle spawns like the rest of the noobs.

Without question those were the bombReally wish they had included some, or even all, of the maps from Aftermath. For me, that was easily the best BF3 expansion.
Vulgar I have played with you a few times recently on IMA servers. You can take advantage of the low tick rate by walking around corners rather than waiting for someone to come around a corner. If you walk around a corner you have something like 150ms before they even see you walk around the corner on their screen. You can kill someone or just about before they even see you walk around a corner.
Then there is the random terrible hit reg, and the in general not to good hit reg which nothing can be done about.
Were you the admin that shuffled the teams for balance and put all the positive kdr people on one team and the negative kdr's on the other? I left because it was so boring after that...
