Call of Duty 4: Sniper Rifles

In depth CoD4 Sniper Rifle stats.

BOOM HEADSHOT! These guns are, obviously, for those who prefer very long-distance kills. The guns are not necessarily more accurate or powerful than some of the assault rifles, but they maintain accuracy over much longer ranges and all come with telescopic sights, allowing you to line up shots from much safer positions. Several of the rifles offered in CoD4 are semi-automatic and all have an unlockable ACOG scope, making them potentially useful as high-powered substitutes for the G3 and M14 assault rifles.

M40A3

Modified from the Remington 700 hunting rifle and used by the U.S. Marine Corps. Bolt-action. The Marines took the R700 and gave it lower recoil, a larger clip, and improved accuracy at the cost of bullet damage. That's the tradeoff you have to consider when choosing between this gun and the R700. Because it's bolt-action, choosing this gun restricts you to long-range sniping unless you enjoy using a pistol or using a second main weapon with Overkill. Be patient, line up your shot and hold your breath before firing, and remember to change positions after each couple of shots if possible to avoid being located. Notes: -The M40A3 is unlocked at Rank 3 Private along with Sniper preset class) -*Because the bolt action rifles accept individual rounds, you can press fire while reloading to halt the reloading process and chamber whichever round you loaded last, in case you need to attack while reloading.
