Sry for the late reply, yes, I think this is the best AR in the game, it has very good base stats, nice recoil pattern and decent mag size/reload speed combo. The only problem with it is the ips, but unless you find a riven like the one the OP has, I wouldn't go out of my way to try to fix it.

Now the build, this gun performs better when you mitigate impact procs and the easiest way is to do it is by overloading the gun with elemental stats, for this, I use High Voltage, Malignant Force and Infected Clip. With my old riven I went 60/60x2 rad combo, but now I use only Scorch. This is very important bc this gun doesn't fair well vs flesh and fire dmg makes a huge difference, ensuring decent performance vs fullly armor striped enemies and flesh based tanks. Don't worry about reaching 100% status, with 3x60/60 you'll get 70% base SC, that's just massive. For the remaining 4 mods you can go the standard way with Serration, Split Chamber, your riven and a utility mod (depends a lot on which riven you get). Rivens are very cheap, got my upgrade for 300P, so in with a bit of effort and patience you can get your self a good one.

Faction wise this is how it performs. Since it's basically moded to deal with armor, it will obliterate Grineer and Corrupted. It is naturally good vs Corpus so you are safe here too, I wouldn't take this gun to a long infested mission, but it performs decently up to level 140.

Now, I know it is very tempting to mod it for viral and add fanged fusilade, but in my experience it simply doesn't work well, even with a +Slash riven, the lack of crit to boost the slash procs makes its behavioir subpar. Amor stripping yields better results every time, just treat the slash procs as extra damage instead of main source of dmg. With my current riven and at level 155 the thoughest enemy to kill is the C. Bombard with 18 bullets max, wich takes less than 2s, pretty impresive I say.
