------------------

to date i've yet to craft a rifle with a min dam over 490 - give or take a little.are there any tips anyone can pass on to help me hit this high - or is it purely down to getting perfect resources (my resources are mostly the top 90-95% of each required stat - ie OQ, SR, etc).

normally i would experiment to cap sac on my components, then speed. then on the final combinecap sac, then damage for the remaining. - with my materials this'd take me to a ALR of about 2.5 speed, 490-1183 damage, 82 sac - after a 8% damage, & lvl 1 speed and critical slice.

i've not tried many ofthe new BH loot - mostly they improve SAC or speed it seems so min damage isn't that much effected. should i try using those + damage stocks that are about recently - or would that cause problems with my SAC later in the final combine?
