Sniper rifles offer perhaps the most variation, rifle to rifle, of any weapon class in Ghost Recon Wildlands.
Every loadout needs one, and you shouldn’t definitely have a collection of scopes and attachments for every sniper in your inventory.
In this guide, we list the 5 best sniper rifles in Wildlands: where to find them, why they’re so good, their stats, and where to find every scope and attachment.
M40A5

HTI
Where To Find: Montuyoc
This can be an extremely tough weapon to use. Its damage and penetration are both near-maxed out, while Accuracy and Range are the best in class.
The problem, however, is that the is a long downtime between shots, so you want to make sure you take out your target promptly. This is probably a great weapon to take out heavy targets, so it’s good to have in your inventory.
