Bolt action sniper rifles and re-loading bullets

    Hi there, I'm new at planetside and I'm slowly learning. I wanted to try something new, so I gave infiltrator a shot and it's a load of fun. But one thing that bothered me is when I want to reload my bullet, you must get out of scope to do this. Is there anyway I can take my shot and have it re-load the bullet automatically? It's not a big deal but I'm struggling to get used to it.
    Thanks in advanced.

    If you're talking about shot chambering (which I assume you are), then the Bolt-Action rifles are able to be equipped with a Straight Pull Bolt (or a Supercooled Coil if you're VS) which allow you to chamber your next round whilst you are still scoped in. However, a word of caution, this can lead to some nasty tunnel vision, and will normally net you a nice countersniper bullet to the head (or a knife in the spine).

    In short: Straight Pull Bolt (Supercooled Coil) lets you stay scoped in until your mag is empty.

    If you're new to sniping, you should check out my Sniper's Guide! The link to it is in my signature.

    Important note - SPB allows you to eliminate scope out/in delay that you would have without SPB. So you can shoot next shot earlier.
