Favorite Sniper Melee weapon

[Wolfsblood]

Hello fellow snipers,
i started this topic as an attempt to find the best non-legendary melee weapon for me. as of now i use a grosse messer (at least until i hit heavy inf at level 52 which i will then use a strange sword) for melee and while the speed is amazing i feel it is lacking in the damage and length departments. so, my question to you, my fellow snipers, what is your proffered melee weapon and why?

oh i should probably show the stats of the weapon so others can get an idea for comparisons

Grosse Messer
speed 105
length 85
dmg    40c
