I dunno if anyone agrees with me, but I would love to have a sniper rifle or at least some kind of scope for the M14. It just seems weird to have a Sharpshooter perk without one.
Sniper Rifle or Scope for M14

Must admit a solid bolt action sniper rifle would be sick.
L96 (Awp / Artic Warfare Magnum) would be damned awesome, since it is firstly British and also looks damned sexy

Battlefield Bad Company 2's time frame of reload would seem about fair. Ignore the commentary

I've never played a map where the sights on the LAR weren't good enough to make a headshot.
I play at 800x600.
EDIT: This is a lie - there are definitely spots on MountainPass where a zoom helps a metric tockfun.
(also "tockfun" sounds way dirtier than what I wanted to say.)
But I'm still skeptical... even now the M14 is really more of a medium-close combat weapon and I'd much rather keep its sights' current use as a way to get a good clean headshot at medium ranges than to take time to acquire targets further away (which the xbow can do just fine for $199 less).

There's a thread by Yomommassis either in the general board or modding board where he put a scope on the M14.
Daww, I'm sorry I care about things looking good.
C'mon, seriously. An ACOG scope would both be handy and look cool, there, should I have said it like that?
As a lower-end user (i.e., I select "textured" for the xbow scope) I'd rather be able to have more SS weapons I can aim without losing all peripheral vision.
Actually, that's how the Sharpie SHOULD be weakened in the first place! If you are scoping, you lose sense of what's going on close to you, and you focus on the big target you are aiming at. Crawlers, clots and stalkers become more problematic if you are constantly in the scope.
That would be the PERFECT balancing "nerf" for the Sharpie, to make it more of a "big game hunter" rather than a "small time shredder" as it is now.
So yes, i fully support a scope of some sorts for the M14 (and higher recoil on it for a lvl 6 Sharpie too). I suggested a long time ago to actually swap the laser and the scope of the SCAR and M14 to make them fit their roles better.
ACOGs make everything cooler. (Those are my two CQB airsoft guns. No, that is not a real-steel ACOG. It's a red-dot sight housed inside an ACOG design. Ironically the cheapest non-corny RDS I could find.)
Spoiler!
That, if it's ever implemented, should be how the MP5 looks. And of course the medic attachment is where the torch would be in the grip.
On the subject of your cheap sights, provide a (smaller) picture looking down them please

I don't have any small pics =_=
Spoiler!
Considering the effective ranges on most maps, and the fact that being flanked is a leading cause of death in the game, a scope is a nerf.
