Thanks to that picture from this thread, the SVD is now my preferred sniper rifle. Once you get the feel of the sweet spot it's much more useful than the bolt sniper rifles. Headshot after headshot after headshot, in rapid succession. If you have a clear view of a spawn (the building spawn at the Convoy on Ghost Town looking at it from the very tall building by the water, or on one of the many buildings in Mashtuur) it's going to be absolutely devastating.
Because of the 10 round clip and it's semi auto capability, if you just nick random enemies you see running around (if you don't have the time to set up a headshot) you're going to get tons of kill damage assists. You're also not as helpless in close quarters.
It's a beast and I urge you to look at that thread and practice with it. Once you get it down you will rule urban maps. Extremely underrated weapon. And at this point I hope they don't fix the reticule so this can stay a relative secret amongst us
