It has a high skill gap, and you have been relying on the noobiness of the DMR.
It’s a 4SK scoped, 5SK unscoped, 4SK 1x Scoped 3x Unscoped, low bullet magnetism and aim assist, not hitscan.
There’s your list, you find the tips.

Scoped shots only are a 4 shot kill.
Unscoped shots only are a 5 shot kill.
But if you use the above trick you can get 4-shot kills with only one scoped shot.
Switch your control scheme to Fistick. It makes mixing of scoped and unscoped shots much easier.
And just in case it wasn’t made clear up above, unscoped it has a longer kill time than any of the other weapons. It’d been said that it’s stronger scoped in, but not that it was always outmatched unscoped.
Didn’t no about the no hitscan though. That’ll help.

Thanks for that.
I will give it a shot tonight.
Using the scope is important, you want to land at least one scoped hit in most engagements. Then unscoping makes headshots a lot easier to clean the kill up.
The trick is to remember that unscoped it’s just a Battle Rifle. It has the same rate of fire, same 3 round burst, and same shots-to-kill. Only difference is that the BR kills in 13 bullets, and the Light Rifle kills in 15, meaning you have to get them with the LAST bullet in your final burst to finish them off.

is there a list of this type of information for each weapon somewhere?
i agree about the dmr, it is like a crutch.
Statistics for all precision rifles.
that link shows them all as hitscan
Hang in there. I didn’t take up the LR until after I completed the other rifle-master commendations. Even then it took a couple hundred kills to find my LR groove. Shot placement and scoping are critical… learn those tricks and it’s like beast mode. I hear the fishstick controller layout helps, too.
I’ll go back to the LR as my primary weapon of choice right after I finish off the SR and Suppresor out of the way. It’s that much fun 
I know people will flame me.
I really hate the LR. Don’t misunderstand I’m not saying it sucks I’m saying I personally don’t like it. I tried using it for awhile to get the Master but I couldn’t do it. The only rifle I find more unusable is the carbine.
I like the rifles in this order
BR > DMR > LR > Carbine
I gave up on commodations now I only have loadouts with BR and DMR.
i like the carbine. in 1v1 situations you are definitely relying on the other person to miss or getting a decent jump on them. but when you are running with someone else using a higher damage slower weapon, you can really mop up with that high rate of fire.
> that link shows them all as hitscan
Yea it says that but it feels like sometimes the LR has a tiny delay with headshots, I don’t know, could be that it has too little bullet magnetism aside from the low aim assist.

He he, give it a shot. Intended or not that’s funny

Thanks for this. I am also having difficulties using the Light Rifle.
As others have said, hitting 1 zoomed shot and following it up with 3 unzoomed shots is difficult to pull off, but has a pretty quick kill time if you’re able to hit everything. Also, on the more difficult side, 2 zoomed shots followed up by a melee will kill, but the LR’s zoom makes it difficult to do unless a player is directly in front of you or facing away (in which case an assassination would likely be more efficient). Give 'em both a try!
I find it odd that nobody has mentioned this yet, but you’ll definitely want to use the Stability Support Upgrade in any loadout that uses the Light Rifle. Without it, you’ll have a lot more trouble keeping your aim straight and true, since the massive amounts of flinch is what makes the Light Rifle so hard to use.
AR > All (in the right hands)
I don’t need statistics or strategy I only need ammo!!!

I don’t think one zoomed three unzoomed is that hard. Second one might be harder yeah.
Bravo made a great video a while ago. http://m.youtube.com/index?&desktop_uri=%2F#/watch?v=maOx_kJ6ods
