Mosin Nagant vs SV98

Both fire 7.62x54mm, so they start from the same damage per round. Against an unarmored chest they kill in the same time. Behind a level 4 plate they are level again.

Both are sniper rifles. The figures below come from the game's own damage tables, worked out on a chest shot against two reference targets: no armor, and a level 4 plate. Nothing here is an opinion about what to carry.

A chest shot and two armor tiers is a slice, not the whole answer: a head shot, a limb, a level 2 plate or a different round all move these numbers. Lethality lets you set all of it and shoot the target yourself.
