The RR has the most range of all the racial rifles, and basically has the same DPS as the AR (which has the shortest range). Its negligible (only 0.25) spool-up disadvantage can easily be countered by tapping R1 at close range to stay spooled up. There is a reason sniper rifles don't have the same DPS as ARs. Same DPS plus a lot more range = OP; while the RR isn't a sniper rifle, the same principle applies here
Kind of hard to take you seriously when you think that the RR is fine, but think the SCR needs a nerf. The SCR overheats and can kill its user after firing 15 shots (without Amarr assault bonus, which seems to be changing in 1.8), has very high PG/CPU fitting costs, the combat rifle does more damage per burst than SCR does per shot. Furthermore, in the time it takes to fully charge a SCR shot, you could have killed the SCR user with another rifle. I always find it funny when people to shooting as "spamming" when they want a weapon nerfed, you may be able to tap R1 very fast, but you will never match the ROF of an AR or CR, and overheat would make it very impractical for modded controllers.

Of course, since the OP has neither of those, here's some:
Rail Rifle
Damage per shot: 55
Rate of Fire: 461 rpm
Damage Per Second: 422
Assault Rifle
Damage per shot: 34
Rate of Fire: 750 rpm
Damage Per Second: 425
Yes, as we can all see, a Rail Rifle is not OP at all. It has less DPS than the Assault Rifle, just like it should, since it's got more than twice it's range. Sure, it's only 3 less DPS, but who cares, it's balanced! It was my opinion based on my experiences that's all but thanks for providing numbers to back up my points
He was being sarcastic.
He was pointing out that having a tiny 3 less damage per second is an extremely small price to pay to get more than twice the range.
