4. KV Inhibitor

KV Inhibitor is the only Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle MW3 has to offer. That means you can fire more than one shot without reloading each time, but keeping the target consistent on the other end of the barrel will be hard. This can be frustrating sometimes. That is why you should use this loadout that focuses on recoil control above all else.

5. MCPR-300

The MCPR-300 might not be the best Sniper Rifle in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, but it’s available by default at the start of the game. It’s still a pretty solid pick for a good chunk of players due to its highly mobile nature and easier handling.
