There are various kinds of Sniper Rifles in BGMI such as Kar98, M24, Mosin Nagant, Arctic Warfare Magnum (AWM) and the Lynx Anti Material Rifle (AMR). Each weapon has its pros and cons and players are required to practice with these weapons on a daily basis in order to master them. 

These are the Bolt Action Rifles in BGMI and their stats:

Kar98: The Kar98 is the most popular Bolt Action Rifle in BGMI. It uses 7.62mm ammunition and can be effective in long range battles. Players are required to hit headshots with this weapon as body shots won’t deal as much damage. 

These are the stats of Kar98:

• Ammunition – 7.62mm.

• Damage – 79.

AMR: The AMR is an Air Drop weapon and was recently introduced in BGMI.
