I think it all depends on what you are going for in terms of accuracy, if you don't care about missing 9 shots but hitting and killing with that last 1, then you would go for semi-auto

but if you are about taking the time to land headshot after headshot, then you'd prefer bolt-action

i prefer the bolt-action, but i will use the Type 88.  I hate the SVD with a passion
Same, can't quite put a name on why i don't like the SVD, no argument that it's effective in city maps, but i just don't like it. Feels "cheap" to me, to use it. I get more satisfaction out of a bolt action kill, than a semi auto. Plus, the SVD isn't even technically a sniper rifle, its like a squad support rifle or something.

I like the Chinese auto sniper but I still have more respect for the bolt rifles.

Bolt.

M24/M95/Type 88/SVD/L96A1 for me. M24 is just sex, it must be the most accurate since I get headshots all the time with it.

Semi. You can't squad bust at under 10m NEARLY as easily with a clunky old Bolt Action. It just takes too long, then again, I only ever specialized in the semi-automatic family...

Back when I could hardly hit a tank with the rifle, i'd use one of the semi autos for practise.

Now, out of all sniper rifles, if the M24 is there, i'll use it. But if theres no M24 available, M95 all the way.

M-14 DMR. Oh wait, wrong game, still stuck in Project Reality. Um...probably the SVD, if I ever pick up a sniper rifle anymore, or the L96A1 for countersniper.

I prefer the longer range headshots.  The scope is the best and accuracy is amazing...although I haven't played in a while.

Countersniping weapon of choice.

Me too, I wish they would have brought out the M-14 instead of the L96A1 because I believe the USMC needs a semi-auto rifle.

Damn right! But us bolt users would be left out in the cold. (I love my m24) Maybe if they split the kits like in PR then we could have bolts and semi's. (I feel like PR right now) I wisht hat they would hire the PR team to Make a BF2 sequel already.(Come on EA 2142 is shit and you know it!)

Yeah bring back my beloved M21 from BF:V and put the action on the right side this time. What the hell was up with the actions being on the wrong side?

Depends on the Situation. On foggy urban maps like Karkand, semi auto rifles got an advantage 'cause they are accurate enough for medium distances. On wake, e.g. sniper duels from the bay to the little island where the US artillery has been placed are usually won by bolt-action snipers. I, however, also win with the Type 88, but that's another story...

If you want to hit your target 99% of the time, then Bolt action - 124th globally for sniper accuracy says it all.
Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

The only time I get gold medals sniping is with semi auto ones. Bolt actions take too long to fire.
