ABR - <600 deadly, 600-800 ok, >800 bad
Lynx/Cheetah - deadly a long way out.

I was going to type out a similar list. BUT I have used the Zafir for 800m kills (w/SOS attached)

Yeah it's good further out similar to the ABR. You could put the zafir with the ABR on that list. For sniping it's slower bc of the recoil so you'll be waiting longer to fire each shot. Always a mean one on the battlefield.

The MRCO is junk, it has exactly the same zoom as the ACO sights, which is 2x I believe, contrary to the "4x" said in the item description.

That's what I thought.

Yeah if the MXM is lacking at long range, its gotta be the caliber. I can't use it for shit over about 600m, especially moving targets. Agree that a silencer makes this gun pretty useless at range also. However, there are two major bonuses of this gun: STANAG rounds are some of the most common to pick up and you can fit the gun in a backpack. I've been known to carry an MXM with an RCO as a second weapon to the Lynx/Cheetah.

Anybody else swapping out sights (SOS <--> RCO/ARCO) with guns like the MXM/ABR/Zyphr depending on the range their firing?

I like multiple scopes especially for the Zypher. The Halo feels like the most accurate for that gun but I need longer range scope past 300 meters.

Agree the MRCO blows.

Yes, definitely carrying an rco/arco with my mxm or ebr while in transit. Once I'm stopped and am laying down and camping/sniping on goes the SOS.
