AMMUNITION	.300 High Velocity	-0.56	6.39
COMB	Aim-Assist 406	-0.05	-0.03

The LA-B 330 stands as a classic bolt-action sniper rifle featuring high bullet velocity. It offers commendable mobility and aim down sight (ADS) speed, fitting perfectly into aggressive play styles and long-distance engagements.

The SP-X 80 is another bolt-action sniper rifle that echoes the LA-B 330 in terms of high bullet velocity, mobility, and ADS speed. Its edge over the LA-B 330, however, is in its slightly better stability. This makes it a viable option for both long-range engagements and more aggressive play styles. Yet, despite these perks, it's outpaced by other weapons in the current meta.

The Carrack .300 offers a standard sniper rifle performance under the current meta.

Due to the lack of distinct advantages compared to top-performing weapons, it sits at the third position.

The Victus XMR excels in its high bullet velocity and minimal bullet drop, ensuring high accuracy over long distances. With a reliable ADS speed, this sniper rifle proves to be a top-tier pick for players capable of exploiting its strengths. However, mastering the Victus XMR requires a sound understanding of sniper mechanics and successful experience in capitalizing on long-range combat situations.

AMMUNITION	.50 Cal High Velocity	-0.25	5.23

The Signal 50 lands at the top, acing the meta with its semi-automatic nature that facilitates faster bullet release than a regular sniper rifle. This advantage, paired with impressive accuracy, is truly desirable for constant pressure on the enemies. Nonetheless, its slower ADS speed and bullet velocity may take some getting used to, and mastering this rifle can take some time.
