Best Marksman Rifles in MW3

Marksman rifles offer players a ton of versatility with their mix of sniper and assault rifle traits in MW3. There are four new marksman rifles in MW3, and these are the best of them ranked from worst to best.

4. KVD Enforcer

Don’t let the ranking of this particular weapon in this best marksman rifles list in MW3 fool you. It is still a pretty good weapon, but you’ll need to tweak it with some attachments.

It has some of the best accuracy in the class, but it lacks when it comes to fire rate. Build it well with the right loadout, and it will be a faster sniper rifle-like weapon.

3. MTZ Interceptor

This is the most traditional marksman rifle with its close-knit nature to the sniper rifle side. This makes it a bit easier to turn into a swift semi-auto rifle than even the KVD Enforcer.

It also boasts some of the highest damage in the category. However, it lacks some of the flexibility of the next two weapons in its group, which is why it’s ranked at this spot on the list.

2. DM56

The DM56 feels like the most versatile weapon in the group. It has a sharp balance between an assault rifle and a sniper rifle, which means it has the potential to be both. This is notable but also means it is a jack-of-all-trades but a master of none.

If you want a gun that you can use in close to mid-range one second but long-range the next, this is the marksman rifle for you.

1. MCW 6.8

The MCW 6.8 represents the best aspects of the marksman rifle category in MW3. It is highly modular, so you can tweak it to be an AR or sniper well. But its best attribute is that it has great stats in all categories.

It has a solid fire rate, impressive accuracy, and great damage, and it doesn’t move at all when you fire. This is the solid companion and best marksman rifle for players to use in this game at this time.
