If you use High Caliber Rounds, the recoil is kind of high. It's a bit worse than Aries Nemesis. It's manageable but as a weapon that really shines when you land those three consecutive headshots and really hates to miss, I doubt it's worth using over Fitted Stock. I have an Aries Nemesis with HCR which is, indeed, great at countersniping so it's not a bad choice if you manage to get a sight with high Stability. The problem with the Stability is you need to either compensate or pause. If you can compensate, great. If you pause for a bit then it lowers the already slow rate of fire and raises the TTK by a fair amount. At that point, you might as well use Vision of Confluence, imo. It only really shines if you hit the optimal TTK, which requires hitting the firecap, which is a bit inconsistent without Fitted Stock.
