This is a list of all Marksman Rifles in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (MW3). Read on to learn more about the stats of each Marksman Rifle and how to unlock them!
List of Contents
MCW 6.8 is the best Marksman Rifles due to its superb accuracy. When it comes to marksman rifles, accuracy is king and this weapon can surely hit an opponent from several feet away.
Once attached with a scope, it will further increase the accuracy to near perfection, making it the deadliest Marksman Rifle in MW3.
MCW 6.8 Best Loadout and Build
The DM56 prides itself with having the highest ammo count in a single clip (20 Rounds), which makes it easier for players to pick off multiple enemies running around the battlefield.
Not only that, but the DM56's recoil isn't that hard to control, so you'll definitely be able to spam those bullets without experiencing that much gun kick.
For players looking for a well-rounded Marksman Rifle, the MTZ Interceptor is our best pick as the stats are overall balanced, however, it doesn't really shine in any category.
Perhaps for those looking for a base Marksman Rifle to build attachments around on, the MTZ Interceptor is a great choice due to how grounded its default statline is.

There are 8 confirmed MW2 Marksman Rifles that can be carried forward to Modern Warfare 3.
Marksman Rifles are best used in mid-range firefights due to their ability to one-shot kill opponents at that range. Although they're still viable to use at long-range, they can't kill an enemy with a single shot at greater distances, unlike Sniper Rifles.
Each Marksman Rifle comes with a low-ammo capacity by default, so try unlocking high-tier magazine attachments to boost the amount of ammo that they can carry in a single clip.
