I was wondering which sniper rifle has the statistical advantage, the M24 or the M95. The M24 has "cleaner" sights, and it's fairly simple to use the beads to adjust for gravity, as well as having a marginally quicker reload time. The M95 does more damage at maximum range, supposedly damages light vehicles(?), and supposedly has less drop than the other sniper rifles(?). Thoughts?
You are my bro, bro.

I've personally felt like the M95 has more drop than the M24 (although I prefer the GOL). If you're not familiar with the bullet drop and aren't getting headshots I would scrap the M95 as it gets pretty frustrating getting hitmarkers and then having your target skedaddle before you can load another round.
The M95 does damage light vehicles. I use it w/ red dot on Defense Isla Innocentes for taking out the black hawks - and it works nicely.
Also you should take into account at what range you're sniping. The M95 becomes a good option in its OHKO on any body part range.

M95 + ACOG + Magnum Ammo = 40 meter kill range + ownage + no bullet drop due to ACOG

M24 is ruled by the GOL. M24 has less zoom I believe...

I would rate them 1. GOL 2. M24 3 M95
The m95 is weird if your used to the gol or m24. I cant seem to get the aiming down, probably because I'm so annoyed that it takes forever to re chamber a round. I would rate the m95 as a shorter range sniper rifle like mentioned above. Seems like every sniper rifle i pick up anymore is the m95. Only thing thats worse, is picking up the sv98, why oh why i'll never know why people use it, i guess because they like that ^ scope.

I must be weird, I get sub 10% accuracy with anything but the SV98 which I usually get 30%.

The SV98 is superior to the other bolt-actions in every way aside from damage and (on the PC) scope sway. As long as you don't mind the scope sway, the SV98 is arguably the headshot marksman's rifle. Fastest-shooting, fastest reloading, most ammo in the clip and in total. You might say it has the highest capacity for efficiency.

Good point there. If you are able to get many headshots then you should use the SV98

I don't think the GOL's greater zoom and slightly farther OHK range isn't as useful as the M24's greater ROF.
The SV98 is great if you don't mind its iron sights and get lots of headshots.
The M95 is only good for taking out helicopters. You can have a red dot or ACOG w/ magnum ammo, but then... why not just use a SAIGA or USAS-12 w/ slugs and magnum ammo... Same STK, same accuracy, but lower TTK. No scope, but then you're already giving up a sniper scope for a red dot or ACOG, so who needs a scope.
Other than that, don't underestimate the usefulness of the semi-auto snipers in close range sniping. The VSS w/ red dot is a decent SMG.

Sure if it's a situation with multiple targets but even then I'd say the rechambering time isn't that big of a deal. If you are talking about single target kills then you only need one bullet, two means you failed.

I find the M24's crosshairs with mil-dots all the reason to choose it over the other sniper rifles. The GOL has no dots, the M95 has fat crosshairs and wide spaced dots. The M24's crosshairs make repeating long range shots a lot easier because there are more points of reference.

I find the dots on the m24 and m95 annoying. With the GOL, i know exactly where to put the cross hair to get a head shot. I love it when they hide in the weeds with that arrow above their head. The ^ scope on the sv98 i just cannot get used to. Some guys just get used to the guns you get in the beginning and thats it for them. I used the m24 until i got the GOL.

If you are talking about single target kills then you only need one bullet, two means you failed. I don't consider two a failure, because you're going to miss a fair amount of shots anyway. Few snipers have anything close to a 100% accuracy. The first shot often hits the torso, or misses, and is then used to gauge distance for a follow-up shot. In a sniper duel purely between the M24 and M95, statistically I think the M24 would win simply because -- as I said -- most snipers aren't perfectly accurate. The GOL and M95's greater zoom and greater power close up don't complement eachother very well, because although it has more power close range, a greater zoom makes scoping close targets more cumbersome. Conversely: although they have more zoom, at long range their damage is the same as the M24. Somebody else mentioned the sight differences... I agree there, too.

That was a misunderstanding of which variable determines magnification level for ADS with weapons. All sniper rifles have identical magnification on their default scopes - 4.75x.

Yeah, as of now, the GOL is completely outclassed by the M24 on consoles.
