I don't understand why people compare guns to other guns when they can all share the same perks. In this case the badger is the same gun as a.1, Aries nemesis, demise, etc. Any of the high impact scouts. All the same gun with basically the same magazine. Outlaw + Firefly (pve) or Outlaw + Third Eye (pvp) are what you need. Field scout and/or AP rounds are a must for the middle tree
