I respectfully disagree and have had a very different experience. I use it currently with an 8x site. I find it has incredible rate of fire, and most 2nd shots land exactly where the first did. But then I don't shoot to kill in my first salvo always, although I get many of those kills. My aim is to counter sniper and cause them to defilade.

It seems that the TR 99 SV doesn't require holding your breath, as TR has a Ballistics Computer standard on it, so there is no sway. Although the info on this site says otherwise, like I said, you can land 3 rapid shots definitely on a body at medium range. Downhill this thing is very accurate. I think of it more as an area denial weapon.

I think what goes on in these reviews is representative of their being two main types of snipers. Bolt Action Rifle enthusiasts love the 1-2 headshot kills. Guys like me like the semi-autos because if I catch you sleeping, or while you are sniping another, I can place 2 easy into your body, probably one to the head, and often get a third on you as you try to get out of my vision. It may be somewhat risky, but in a heavy combat zone you can get away with 4 successive shots, sometimes 5, if you scan the area first and work it from left to right, or right to left with cover on the correct flank.

Point is, semi-autos like this provide an opportunity to crank off a lot of shots on a squad or two moving in on foot, and can be used to negate another sniper.

Also, with lots of practice, you can hit things at very large range. I hit one at the very limit of rendering. I'm not so practiced that I know what size human is what range and what mil mark to use. But it is easy to adjust since you get to take so many shots, so you can learn faster.

It also has a very satisfying sound. Often 3 shots anywhere to the target body and it is adios.
