The VS Recon is a reliable bolt-action Sniper Rifle that's great at picking out targets from a distance. A additions here and there for its build, such as ADS speed, will quickly make it into a good Quickscope build. Just take note of its bolt-action nature, which means that you won't be able to take out targets rapidly.
