User blog:MC Escher/Barrett .v Intervention

Which sniper rifle is better? I have been using the intervention for most of my early 0 prestige, but recently, during mid prestige 1, I found that the .50 cal Barrett is a very worthy competitor to the Intervention. It does have high recoil on it, but it resets really fast, even more seemingly with Sleight of Hand (pro maybe?) it holds 10 more bullets than the Intervention, and the recoil rests faster than the Intervention takes to bolt cycle. Both do the exact same damage, and the Barrett can also be used as a temporary make-shift mid-range semi auto rifle with sleight of hand pro and/or steady aim.

Off Topic question, for a sniper, what would be better, ninja pro or steady aim pro?
