Bro killed a guy the started roasting his kit lmao

[@ryanbolson23]

Kinda deserved, with the recoil changes you don’t need to hype focus recoil reduction parts and that appears to be all this dude did. Pair that with the fact this dude did a low recoil build on a gun that effectively shoots one bullet at a time and I’d say he had it coming.

[@TimmyInTarky]

That dude was aiming for that place to clear campers like him. Had he a more effective gun, that half o'second of delay costed his life. The more appropriate thing is to wonder if the victim understood the issue that caused it and did he get better for his future raids

[@idontlikecaps8823]

Bro doesn’t know what roasting means

[@SuperMickyChow]

Isn't that the aim in Tarkov?

[@laserbidet]

[@CyrusssBeats]

bro one tapped him and proceeded to lay down the most technical roast of the dead guy's weapon

[@MKsaltra]

I genuinely like this series. I think it's interesting, entertaining, and really useful for the majority of players who aren't no lifers at the game. Please keep it going!

[@gervasfuhrmann1506]

This is such a good series, would love to have this be a recurring series!

[@jfm.d5180]

The hybrid 46 is my preferred silencer for the M700- 6 points more ergo compared to thunderbeast at about 0.15 kg increased weight. It also increases muzzel velocity slightly more FWIW.

[@goodspeedko1]

this is my new favourite tarkov series!

[@zhongligaming3734]

I really like this series! I hope you do more of these in the future, possibly with more obscure guns… minmaxing weapon builds is one of my favorite things to do in this game

[@KoviPlaysPC]

Gigabeef tastefully describing a rat without saying it: "mainly staying stationary, using a lot of concealment to not be seen"

[@3styleat]

[@jimharvey205]

This is my second full wipe and i did not know about holding the click after the shot. That will help ALOT ..

[@XDLadiesManXD]

I honestly thought ergo dictated how long you could ads... this has blown my mind...

[@CY3ER]

The ergo version of the m700 is exactly the same as one I have saved. Definitely my favorite bolt action to run. The ergo is amazing and you can hold it up for so long. I opt for the 5 round magazine, though. I've either killed or been killed by whoever I'm shooting at before I go through more than 10 rounds with a bolty.

[@DelicM]

MVF001 foregrip has very off putting bug on that m700 chassis. As you swing your camera view, left hand, which is holding foregrip, gets bent in inverse direction. I am not sure if it is present on every player model, but I am USEC. So if you have same problem just take cobra foregrip with +9 ergo, -1 recoil.

[@j.am501]

funnily enough having your arm twisted at that angle is covering your thorax more and is actually better

More of this series please Mr Beef

[@racer9916]

i'm not really a fan of bolt actions but i loved this video

[@djmace911]

You can by the f1 st2 the one with yellow cord on it with skier and it’s the black version and it only costs 17k roubles better than the Orion in my opinion

[@thrombocyte2054]

I'm a big fan of the 5 round polymer mag. It's a 5 ergo swing and honestly... when are you firing more than 6 bullets from a bolty? Either you go leg -> torso x2 or you fail your headshot and try for a second thorax shot. The chance, that your target stays in the open for 10+ seconds to fire your 6 shots but not long enough, that you don't have time to swap the mag are super low. I rather take the extra 1-2 frames ADS - especially on the polymer chassis that's super cheap as well.

[@anotherkenlon]

The PDW stocks are often grossly underrated - anything that you're using in single fire (bolt-action or semi-auto) generally benefits from them. They're my favorites for ADAR shenanigans, frex.

[@lesna_pechalba]

Can you add a LARP-er variant as welll. All this guns look so goofy his starter weapon,ergo and weight build.

[@DrDoinks]

Although I’m not a huge fan of how easy it is to get overweight, and how quickly the debuffs start, I have enjoyed min maxing the weight of every aspect of the kit, down to taking a couple less rounds or swapping a ULACH for a bastion.

[@TWGEManiacKomradeLogikkTWGE]

Built a 700 with like 70-80 ergo lol. It was so snappy and not even just "for a sniper" I proceed to immediately lose it of course lol But it was fun while it lasted. I should build another one

[@CrankymanI5]

I build my m700 always with an silencerco suppressor and the AICS Stock. Gives you around 35 ergo in total and its super light only around 4-4,5kg depends on the scope and mag u use. U can scope in for so long with it because of the low weight. I just did hunting trip with this setup the other day and it worked perfect

[@JustSomeDog]

just use the t5000... cheaper and similar ergo use the elcan and use the wave QD silencer a 350k m700 sniper isnt worth it spending 160k on a t5000 build is better imo

[@halo27300]

Why you’d use anything but the highest ergo attachments on a bolt action rifle, I’ve no idea. What’s the point of recoil control? Keymod ergo grip, viper PDW stock and hybrid 46 suppressor are the only correct choices. Bonus if you use the red buffer tube that gives better accuracy and other bonuses

[@Tarkovrat69]

Certified gigabeef video

[@SynnisterGames]

For what it's worth, the DLV-10 Saboteur is better in every aspect than the M700. Better stats fully modded, way quieter, waaay cheaper to mod. Correct me if I'm wrong though. The only downside I noticed is limited magazine availability.

[@SynnisterGames]

Well everything except weight, and it's only slightly worse. Better ergo, better MOA, better recoil, better velocity, quieter, better camo, and it's significantly cheaper since you sell the normal barrel for 22k back to mechanic for the saboteur barrel.

[@gammeljuu25]

svt or mosin with silencer or mp 18 the perfekt

[@shootymcbooty2814]

Loving this series, would enjoy more if you keep coming across good ones!

[@MalkathiusRecord]

I use ironsights and flash hiders on my m700s. I want them to hear I am in the raid.

[@Gigabeef]

love it

[@keybored-]

i thought ergonomics impacted how long you can ADS, i didn't realize it was based on weapon weight

[@Gigabeef]

yeah mostly weight, a bit of ergo

[@francis3723]

i quitted tarkov these months, but seeing those beautiful m700 makes me wanna go back!

[@ryanbolson23]

“i quitted tarkov these months”

[@matthew.6994]

Honestly in terms of guns nowadays people don’t really care about what attachments are on their gun or not just if it’ll help them get by

[@pnutz_2]

the proper optimisation is removing the suppressor and adding one of the loudeners

[@MashPotatoJohns]

The amount of PRS Gen 3 stocks and RK-2s I've been seeing is both hilarious and frustrating

[@josephbishop3231]

Nothing wrong with that M700 when you picked it up it's just a tan man build to look sexzy

Lol roasting while using the M1A hahahaha

[@umbrella4407]

Who is using M1A in this video?

[@jetex6964]

Sks my guy. Also what’s wrong with the m1a??

[@GilesAllen-kr7nd]

Just build a suppressed dvl for 140k and call it a day, best bolty by far.

[@pagingdoctorsideburns]

Yeah, I never managed to make a bolty work, but my squad has a dedicated sniper and I know for sure his preferred weapon is always suppressed DVL. Honestly the sound of it going off in the distance gives me a dopamine hit too which is a bonus

[@gordonfreeman112]

Wait. 32 ergo is low? *Looks at my 3.5 ergo SVDS* Hm.

[@Handcannon77]

Yeah..I just dont see why youd ever use the hybrid(for basically any gun tbh), the DD wave is essentially the same thing but just better since it has less recoil and some accuracy(not that it really matters), and all you lose is a single point of ergo. I basically never use the Hybrid on any gun unless you have to, the suppressor itself isnt bad or anything, but the fact you have to use an adapter and not a muzzle break/flash hider just makes it automatically much worse than any top tier suppressor.

[@wojtekszade1794]

Do you publish your builds somewhere?

[@Gigabeef]

Not outside of the vids, what kind of thing were you thinking?

[@wojtekszade1794]

@@Gigabeef It'd be very cool if you created a site with a list of guns and when u select a gun u see all the builds u did this wipe, with a screenshot from edit preset screen, a few words loke (high ergo or low weight, or budget ergo) and a link to the video

[@kalypso4133]

What's the point of focusing on recoil on a bolty? If it was more of a DMR it would make more sense. You would wanna follow up with another shot asap.

[@DanielRBW]

Becuase the lower the recoil the more of your scope stays in vision after firing, which means you retain your aim better. An unmodified mosin with a 3.5 pu scope will complete remove the target from the sight picture, which means you need to regain target before firing again. (whereas these modified m700s will somehwat retain the target within the sight picture making target acquisition easier.)

[@Kayzizzle]

Meanwhile this vs the SKS you were using lol

[@scott7892]

I would like to hear one genuine reason to use a bolt action over a semi automatic 308 rifle , rfb costs the same or less, sr25 is cheap enough and 10x better in every situation. Moa isnt a factor in tarkov unless your shooting the length of the maps and even then who wouldnt rather have 19 follow ups instead of choking the shot and barely getting a second one off before they get in cover

[@McChaddington]

Boltie Tasks

[@scott7892]

yeah that's fair but not really what I was meaning that is just you being forced to use it and its definitely not worth all these attachments for a few kills you would get with a base model boltie with a decent scope anyway@@McChaddington

[@tavish4699]

bro stats litterary dont matter when you use a sniper rifle as intended sit some far place away and wait for your prey mosin is enough, if you want you can throw a western scope on it

[@onixniper2770]

Bro this gun you can put 72 ergo and be fast as cod.

[@castro619a]

I actually don’t understand why people use bolt action snipers over semi automatic snipers or assault rifles with scopes. I only know to use them for low MOA, but why else?

[@fettgummie9685]

a good bit of quest that want you to kill lots of things with a boltaction - shooter born in heaven (5 headshots on nearly every map) - the tarkov shooter line ( total of like 32 kills with variable conditions and then TS8 you have to kill 3 pmc with headshots without dying) - another 5 pmc without dying for psyco sniper so in total you are at like 65-70 kills total before you get to the quests witout dying

[@Nate-kc2wf]

You’re forced to use to them for a lot of quests, but otherwise, they don’t really have a place in the game

[@MrFizz27]

For me it's just fun to use bolt actions. Practically? There's no real reason

[@SocksW]

So we’re gigaratting

[@BKBCrAnK]

Yes the Hybrid is better is the best for ergo but its way to expensive. thats why the Daniel Denfence is so much better. only 1 ergo less than the hybrid but WAY cheaper

[@kwisatzhaderach9087]

Too* expensive, American?

[@d1psy85]

Hybrid has a RAM barter that makes it cost around 50K, honestly my go-to if I want to use the Hybrid on my guns

[@larbi253]

All this just to get killed by a dude running a mosin/pu scope/ t45m ammo lmfao

Can we see the dog tag of the guy you’re roasting next time? Would be even better to name and shame them for their bad builds

[@user-tx7et5lt1t]

you are quite unxperienced sniper it seems i dont know how you didnt notice this one is bought directly from jeager 4 so whole point of the video is kinda just not there and m700 dont need to be mooded at all look at pestili doing the tarkov shooter 5 so that is that

[@umbrella4407]

He picked up an extremely modded gun that doesn't benefit much at all from the mods on it. That is the point of this video. I did psycho sniper and tarkov shooter 8 with a mosin on first try. Does that mean DVL-10, M700 and all other bolt action rifles are useless? Yes, it probably came from Jaeger 4, but the video still demonstartes pretty well why you might not want to purchase it, don't you think? That is also ignoring the foregrip, the suppressor, and the pistol grip that didn't come from Jaeger.

[@user-tx7et5lt1t]

@@umbrella4407 the thing about bolt-action rifles is that they dont need ergo and weight is only one of the important measures other ones being accuracy, scope setup and ammo that is the weapon zeroed for. for your dvl-10/ M700 vs mosin example mosin has accuracy of 1.44 moa and with scope from the video max range is around 150 meter from prone. dvl 10 that is loud has accuracy of 0.45 moa zeroed for m80 with good scope setup you can hit targets from 450 meters if you want to be supperest you use orsis with supresor from this video +3 accuracy on muzzle brake moa is 0.63 or you use sv-98 with lps ( if you dont want to calculate adjustments ) 0.59 moa or PS with 0.50 moa ( you have to calculate zeroing deviation ) if you want to teach someone how to mod thier weapon atleats understand how to do so XD

[@umbrella4407]

None of the things you bring up has any relevancy in your average tarkov game. Where do you plan on going on streets where you will shoot people at such a distance that MOA actually matters? Practically all bolt actions have good accuracy and it is arguably the LEAST important stat because of the typical engagement distance not being that long. As long as your gun ain't broken you will be fine. You are acting like everyone who uses a bolt action plan on sniping people from lighthouse water treatment or woods sniper rock. Most of the time you will just try to point and click on heads, and when you miss it will be because you missed, not because you didn't zero your gun.
