The only rifles that matter now:

[Ozelot (DayZ) 394]

M4 CCO: <300 yards CQC/multiple opponents situations. Also pretty accurate up to about 550 yds, I can hit just about anything that far, beyond I start having trouble.

Lee Enfield/Fal/M14: 100-600 yds, one shot one kill. These are all brutal and can hit up to 800 yds if you're good.

CZ 550/M24: 600 yds or more (these guns are virtually identical)

I don't even care about the DMR/SVD, they're for people who can't hit the first - third shot.

You forgot the good ol' Winchester :P

That's the best gun for zombies. Not so much players.

[Jars (DayZ) 63]

Are you asserting that you can hit a zombie / player like target , with an enfield at 600 yards ?

Mk 48 mod 0?

[Statik (DayZ) 2695]

The FN FAL and M14 aren't 1 hit, 1 kill shots. And the M14/FN FAL are just as useful if not better in CQC that the M4

Yep. If they're standing still I can hit about 9/10 on the first shot. If they're moving it's pretty hard because of the Een's slow fire rate, I'll probably miss the first shot and I might hit the second one.

The Winchester is a fine firearm for both zombies and players.

I want to see you hit anything past 1000 meters with your first 2 shots without an SVD. That thing is essential for actual sniping in ARMA 2.

Without a proper Rangefinder, of course.

AKM/SA-58? They sound and look badass and the fact that they can one-shot zombies and do significantly more damage to players than STANAG rifles is a big deal for me.

There are ways to figure out range without a finder and without that little measuring stick inside yer SVD scope.

It's okay I guess. It just doesn't seem as accurate as the AR-15s far out, even with the zeroing.

I don't know, the Sa-58 are quite awesome and have a great iron sight. Just found my self a M4A3 so proud :D.

M14, that's all you need, 1 of the reasons i hate vanilla are the m14 and dmr :)

[Skinwalker 31]

CZ is my favorite weapon for hitting moving targets > 400 yds

[Jantr 14]

The M14 is my favorite but i will say i use the DMR at night before of the NVG capabilities.

[Dekkymane 145]

Haha, no. It's the best gun in the game for me. Quite, deadly 8500 blood damage, 15 rounds per mag and uncles shotgun feeling. The only gun you need.

Mildots are also rangefinders.

[Trizzo 632]

The one that you can best use.

This topic has a disturbing lack of Mk48 MOD 0's. There is nothing that surpasses it. Probably the greatest counter-sniper weapon, due to its incredible firepower and ability to spray an entire area with lead. It uses the 7.62, so it does considerable damage, and it has a gigantic mag that holds more ammo per slot than other guns (100 per 2 slots / 60 per 2 slots), as well as having a great CCO sight. It is an all purpose weapon that has no downfalls, if used intelligently.

Sounding a bit pretentious, aren't we?

 

To me, the cz/m24 is easier for long range than the dmr due to their zeroing ability, dmr for me is mostly for cqc, as I have better luck with it in close situations than m14 aim.

The SVD camo is one of the hardest guns in the game for most people. (including me)

 

EDIT: You forgot the G36k (camo)
