wait for the july sales to see what they're selling, discounts are possible. Yep you definately want a long ranged assult rifle with sniper scope. My opinion would be the l85a1 mod as the safer bet. even though the xm8 seems more overpowered, nexon tends to screw with their overpowered weapons in some way, i suspect damage dropoff for this one. (the original xm8 had some damage dropoff) Also l85a1 is more likely to get a discount and the long ranged shooters tend to be damage high, whereas the xm8 is low on damage
