3. XRK Stalker

The XRK Stalker arrived back in Season 1.

Season 1’s XRK Stalker maintains a top-three spot among the best Sniper Rifles in Modern Warfare 3 Season 3 Reloaded thanks to its top-tier damage and mobility. While it’s not the lightest Sniper Rifle around, it’s certainly more mobile than the KATT-AMR and still packs a punch.

With the right attachments, you can vastly improve the XRK Stalker, boosting the gun’s mobility and damage.

2. Longbow

The Longbow has excellent magazine capacity in MW3.

The Longbow claims the runner-up spot when it comes to the best Sniper Rifles in MW3 thanks to the incredibly powerful JAK Tyrant 762 Kit. The Aftermarket Part increases the Longbow’s ability to dish out one-shot kills.

Combined with its already blistering speed and mobility, the Longbow feels similar to the classic Kar98k, thanks to its bolt-action mechanic. Despite receiving a nerf before the Season 3 update, the JAK Tyrant 762 Kit for the Longbow is still a worthwhile attachment to use on the weapon.

1. MORS – Best Sniper in MW3

The MORS from Advanced Warfare made its way to MW3 in Season 3 and it wasted no time claiming the title of best Sniper Rifle. Thanks to its electrical current effect, fantastic mobility, and quickscope potential, the MORS is one of the most fun Snipers to use in Season 3 Reloaded.

Although it did catch a slight nerf in the mid-season patch, it’s still one of the most powerful guns in the game, capable of one-shotting at virtually any range with the right attachments.
