Our loadout focuses on mitigating the weapon’s extreme recoil. Starting off with theSakin Tread-40,which improves horizontal and vertical recoil control. We also recommend using theFTAC Ripperfor added Aiming Idle Stability and Recoil Stabilization to keep those shots true.

To further improve damage range and bullet velocity with the TAQ-V, it’s best to use the18″ Precision-6 Barrel. Partnering this barrel with 7.62 High Velocity ammo maximizes the hard-hitting battle rifle’s time-to-kill speed.
