I feel like opening the mother of all cans of worms...
What do you guys think is the best general SWS ever? As far as a few things go...I don't know all the criteria so don't be shy to add more/correct me...
1)Accuracy
2)Reliability
3)Range
4)Power (harder targets)
Just to be fair I'll give my opinion, feel free to tear it up lol :wink:
M-21 it is for me. The M-14 is reliable, accurate enough to engage targets (AKA People) out to 1,000 Y I bet. Quite a long distance dedication but in the hands of a master (read: much much better shot than Muzzleblast) and 7.62 can penetrate plenty. Maybe there are a lot of more powerful rounds out there but I have seen some amazing dirt clouds and flying debris from the business end of my 300 WinMag. I know a sniper clears that stuff away from a prepared site but the noise of that sucker carries, too. The only thing I can fault it with is maybe it's magazine could be in the way sometimes...then again, it does hold 20...and 10 rounders could be found. Not so bad in the case that, God forbid, the sniper has to handle some baddies up close and personal.
