| | '''Sniper Rifle''' may refer to the following: |
| A '''sniper rifle''' is a [[wikipedia:Crew-served weapon|crew served]], man-portable, high precision-[[rifle]] used to ensure more accurate placement of bullets at longer ranges than with other small arms. A sniper rifle is built for infantry support and optimal levels of accuracy, being fitted with a [[telescopic sight]] and chambered for a military centerfire cartridge.

| It is a common misconception that any scoped [[rifle]] is a sniper rifle. While certain long guns are more suited for the application than others, it is the act of using a scoped weapon strategically as a [[Sniper|sniper-qualified specialist]] that designates it as such (i.e. camouflage, field craft, infiltration, special reconnaissance and observation, surveillance and target acquisition).
