(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So I started to use sniper rifles and I suck.
Still the process is a very low grind even with boosters being used that said it a great way of wasting boosters which I have a ton of.

My views so far the starting sniper pretty much Mr average
M40 pretty much the faster bolt action sniper.
SV98 not a fan of the scope
Scout elite not sure if I hate you or love you yet

So far only two snipers I used are the first time, I say used as in having a weapons star each. Currently on the sniper elite and not a fan.
Sigh, maybe I need to learn it bullet drop/speed, but it feels slower along with less powerful. Hipfire wise the sniper elite is pretty nasty but snipers not very good at hipfire anywho.

Can’t trickshot me!
Tips I would give would be stick with the m40a5, until you unlock the 338-recon. Or try the assignment sniper to unlock the fy-js. The fy-js has the quickest bolt pull back and forward lock of all rifles, it also has a great low bullet drop to about 4-500m. If you play cqc maps use iron sights or mid-short range sights, if you play larger maps by pod and long range sight with 14x.
Headshots past 250 with boosters is the way to go bc I believe the points for those long headshots go toward the points to your unlock. So you know these already but you get a 500m headshot is like getting 5 kills not including your boost.
I play hardcore Tom, conquest, and rush sometimes. When you go into a match press start and look at the large map to look for snipers posted up, after that pick where you want to post up and start nailing those fools. If you get a kill move on to a different spot. Bc most likey that guy is going to look right at the spot you just killed them from.

Hope this helped. Good luck add if you want help.

Quite like the first sniper it pretty good.
M40 has the fastest rate of fire in the game which is lovely.
338 Recon I know it not the best sniper but has a deadly damage output, sounds great and looks great.

In my eyes M40/338 are my favs so far.

7/50 ribbons so far so almost got the FY-JS. Most of them have been done oddly in team deathmatch sniping people off a roof or two.

Useful tip need to get my locations down for conquest more, but TDM/Rush is starting to get a feel.

I just started using the 338 and find it very effective. It even sounds good while firing. I'm 20-30 ribbons away from the FY-JS and am stoked to see how it does. L96 was a let down. I did well with the scout elite,was good for close quarters sniping. Ive used the srr-61 the most tho,not sure why,just like the way it looks I guess. I'm very curious to see how the GOL magnum will be from 2nd assault dlc.

On 10 at the moment, need to get back to playing with snipers I got a little bored :p
From what I played not a big fan of elite that said very limited and played with 338 before hand.

If you had to ask me my fav snipers it would be M40, 338 and starter sniper.
M40 lower damage faster fire rate
338 high damage, but same role as the M40 lower rate of fire.

Most of my sniping is aggressive, so within 250m.

Not touched the L96 yet I do have it unlocked I think. Gol mag is meant to be the same as the 338 which is great news!

Homestly, use the L96 (iron sights) until you level up to the SRR. It's the only 2 snipers I use.

SRR is great for long distance and if you don't want to counter bullet drop at short ranges.
From what I used the SRR is good apart from rate of fire.
