i always have my look speed all the way up, and my acceleration, my dead zone is usually in the middle, its just easier to quick snipe with a faster scope

Yeah shotgunning with a sniper rifle is pretty much stupid and never works because you will be dead by the time your close enough to make a shot.

I never run and gun with a sniper rifle. It just doesnt go unless you wait around a corner for someone. But then thats not running and gunning. Im not good at doing that only the regular sniping not quick sniping.

A good way to to start off before you move into sniper rifle run and gun is to use an M14 on single shot. If you can get enough kills with that move onto an SR - 25. SR-25 is slightly slower but a good way to practice your aiming with rifles. After your confident with your kill to death ratio move onto the bolt-action rifles. You should be able to always keep your crosshairs on the target. Sniper rifles when not being scoped are not 100% accurate, so try to aim around the neck so if you don't hit his head, it might go into his chest. And another thing, i found when you are running backwards your aiming will be less accurate, so either just move back and forth or run towards him... if you think you can get a quick shot.

high scope if you wanna truely quickscope (what all good quickscopers use) because you can get max distance and 0wnag3 by quickscoping. 4x if you wanna try it out (new quickscopers).

Anyone ever use the thermal scope? I like it when I'm on the Harvester Map as a seal, makes spotting terrorists easy for a newbie.
