Now, if you take the scope off a M14 sniper variant, you've got yourself a pretty good M14. I found no reason to ditch my M1 Garand until I found a bandit with a M14 sniper mod.. Despite the Garands incredibly slow recovery time, nearly every hit was an instant kill or guaranteed drop with a few seconds of bleeding out left.. 7.62x63 is just awesome.

Really? I've had pretty good luck with the M14... the smaller SOCOM not so much, but with the plain-old M14, I usually can drop someone in one hit and they're either dead right away, or are unconscious and bleed out shortly thereafter.

Do you run into 20-round M14 mags later in the game? I'm at level 5 and haven't seen any yet. That's really my only gripe about the rifle.
