If you're having issues with bloom with this weapon, then you're spamming too much. If you pace your shots, it's deadly accurate, even beyond 100m (I would say that it's effective out to about 150m w/ 4x scope, after which, lack of scope zoom limits ease of use). I have loads of experience with it's hi-zoom cousin, the Gauss SPR, which has nearly identical characteristics other than scope selection, and that gun, thanks to high zoom scopes is usable even at bolt-action sniper ranges, and is actually better than a bolt beyond 300m because the bolts loose the 1-headshot kill capability, which Gauss retains 2-headshot kills and being semi-auto can land both quite quickly). I have actually logged a kill at about 400m with the Gauss SPR! Let the weapon settle between shots, and don't take more than about 3-4 in one go, not only for bloom reasons but because you're also liable to eat a snipe if you stand still that long.
