Scout Sniper Loadout

[PopRocket123]

You could just wait and take a look at Silverback's new TAC-41. If it's built anything like the SRS it should be good and I think the RRP is looking at about $350..

Just looked that up and I'm sold

Such an underrated statement!

I guess the srs needs a wee bit of time to get used to due to the awkward bolt pull.

It seems that the most efficient way is to have your palm facing up rather than cosplaying a t-rex (which is something a lot of people do).

Make sure to buy-make-steal a bolt cover to avoid getting shit into the hop chamber.

And then there's learning how to use it well. I'm expecting quite a steep learning curve.

Fortunately I have access to a 50m indoor range for testing.

I'll look into the bolt cover thing. Some kind of flexible flap maybe?

Now though, buy a mk23

This^^. I'll probably get one just because I want an accurate handgun but....

The MK23 seems to be the go to sidearm for your traditional sniper but I'm envisaging a more active role where I will be often be inside my MED.

I'm thinking more along the lines of a compact SMG which opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

Options I've considered include:-

Full auto pistol (M92R, Glock(??))

AEP Machine pistol (VZ-61, MAC-10) - underpowered? Difficult to fit a red dot.

GBB versions of the above - limited ammo capacity, expensive mags

MP5K - no stock

MP5 A5 - heavy

P90 - Cyma's are cheap

MP 7/8/9 ???

Others???

I'll be buying this one myself so budget does matter. Max around £200 including mags.

First thing is to get out and play with the SRS and see what actually happens in game. Expectation and reality are likely to turn out to be very different.

I was thinking of the different action also, but then i thought what if all bolt actions had that action years ago, and say VSR's just started to be released now?

I've never used one yet, but I'm sure the action would be easily over come.

Just picked up my vsr now and pictured the bolt being further back and realised it wouldn't be that bad, would take a little longer to reach the trigger compared to a vsr though.

I know i would like to buy one when i travel overseas for an event.

The action is not as slick as a VSR style bolt action. I won't be doing a 'mad minute' with it but I've got used to it fairly easily. Having said that mine is only pushing 1.5 joules. When the Rapax 2+ spring goes in I might feel differently.

I like the MK23, being a NBB your not wasting gas on the slide action, so maybe a little more performance?

I like the new (ActionArmy) AAP01 Assassin Pistol, wouldn't mind one of those for a secondary.

I like the MP5K also one of those with a hi-cap mag would be great fun.
