oh and Puttley get a good sac rifle dude
I suspect that Puttley has all the low-SAC rifles that he needs.It sounds like he's just interested in doing a potentially worthwhile crafting experiment--one that I would very much like to hear the results of.
this is just an experiment to see what happens if you go a completely different way with the crafting system. The devs want variety and if this works well it could be an amazing discovery (or a colossal failure 
)i've now got 2 rifles to change between, a 486-1183, 2.5 speed 82 sac ALR and a 565-1184, 2.22 speed, 136 SAC. i do a wide variety of combat now so having both realy helps. i use the 82 sac for most attacks, adn ofr opening attacks, or in quick fights/ to finish of a struggleing PVP i'll switch to the 136 sac rifle with a damage pup, accuracy food and aim. i can actually spam between ranged & placed shot with the high sac for a long time with the right foods & buffs (even if i have a speed buff).
roughly speaking i find i take accuracy food when i use the high sac rifleand have a speed buff all the time. the high sac has a damage pup and the low one with a speed pup. thebest combination i find is to spam head/startle with the low sac for 550 damage every 1-2 sec with the low sac or 500 damage every second with the high sac rifle. i can havea really good control in a fight, though i go through alot of pups as i swap them mid fight where i can. interestingly i find i do similar damage and similar action use with both rifles in the previous attack combos. also compaired toa straight MBH/Mrifles i do less damage in the first 1-2 min but after that i still have considereably more action. (and thats without including anything from my MCM stuff)
