A Tarkov "best gun" is a moving target of recoil patterns, modding ceilings, trader availability and price-per-raid. The meta build everyone copies is only meta until the next balance or economy change.
This board ranks weapon platforms for the current wipe, by community vote. Judge the platform at realistic kit budgets — not just the 800k lab-raid build.
