  2. XRK Stalker: The Best Quick-Scoping Sniper Rifle

KATT-AMR

Modern Warfare 3 - KATT-AMR Sniper Rifle

The KATT-AMR is the best Sniper Rifle for players who enjoy camping and playing passively due to how impressive the range that this weapon has.

This sniper rifle also takes the cake when it comes to instantly killing an opponent at long-range as the damage drop-off isn't that punishing compared to other snipers.

XRK Stalker

Modern Warfare 3 - XRK Stalker

The XRK Stalker is notorious for being the best quick-scoping sniper rifle when paired with the right attachments.

With the XRK Factory Grip attached, it makes scoping down faster and the No Stock attachment buffs up movement speed so that you can sprint around and quick-scope enemies with ease.

Longbow

Modern Warfare 3 - Longbow

The Longbow is the only Sniper Rifle that fires off in semi-automatic mode, letting sniper mains play offensively and hunt down potential targets rather than sticking up to one position and waiting for enemies to pass by.

How to Use Sniper Rifles

Camp at Higher Grounds

Sniper Rifles are guns that are best used when camping at higher ground positions with decent cover. You can easily pick-off unsuspecting enemies running around the battlefield, and you can kill them with a single shot thanks to the sniper rifle's excellent damage output, range, and accuracy.
