    not all sniper guns are the same, I have a Socom MK 20 SSR 399,040 DPS and it takes about 4-5 shots to bring them down, I picked up a M700 Tactical 183,938 DPS it might be 1-2 shots, I'm running in T5 with Skulls MC Gloves, Barrets Bulletproof Vest, Col. Bliss Holster

    in my experience the tactical drops more frequently.
    and so far, I have only had 1 carbon drop with 2/3 decent talents. full bucket of phx cr rolls later it was still 2/3...most expensive thing I ever sold to a vendor.

    I've got a tactical as a backup weapon on two characters. And with the burn buff from flamecrest, headshot can exceed 1.2million.

    That combo was hard to get cause of the electronics requirement, but thanks to the new Gearscore, it's now very viable.

    100k+ base, 170% headshot damage with those talents and you have a powerhouse like no rifles in the game, but it must be a 229 gearscore. It's near 1.5 mill on the last shot down in the range.
    229 M44 will not get you 1.5M damage in T5.

    THIS!

    Never forget that your Semi-Auto MMR is going to take 2-3x the shots (at minimum) to down the same enemy as your Bolt Action of the same DPS. And if you're not letting that semi auto settle back into place, it's more like 4-5 times as many shots.

    Also, where did you find it? On my wishlist.
    Look up Widdz and his one shot sniper build on youtube.
