10 Best Nerf Gun Sniper Rifles for the Expert Marksman

The original Nerf sniper returns and trust me when I say it's one of the all-time best Nerf gun sniper rifles. Better than ever, the Nerf Longstrike comes with updated Nerf gun attachments, including a true sniper scope and bipod with retractable legs. It also includes 3 custom clear 6-dart magazines and 18 darts.

Ah, the Nerf Mega Centurion. The Nerf MEGA "heavy" sniper rifle with the longest prime of any Nerf gun. Don't get me wrong, this Nerf gun sniper rifle kinda sucks. But it definitely looks pretty good. Only get this Nerf gun if you really love the look, because without heavy modding, this thing will jam and underperform like nobody's business.

The Tri-Strike was at one time thought to be the Elite powered successor to the Longstrike. And if you switch up a few of the included Nerf gun attachments, it was true. Throw on a long barrel, a storage stock, and a scope and boom: The new bolt-action Nerf gun sniper rifle was here! And it had slam fire!

The AccuStrike series was supposed to be Nerf's more accurate line of Nerf guns. It was all due to the AccuStrike Darts and they were actually pretty great. So this would be "the accurate sniper." The Nerf RaptorStrike is a bolt-action Nerf gun sniper rifle with a flip up sight, bipod, two clear 6-dart mags, and 18 of those accurate Elite darts.

This slippery sniper rifle is a Nerf made, Roblox based, zombie themed, snake shaped Nerf gun. That's a lot to process. But not for your kids, they'll eat this right up -- scales included! Fighting zombies with a Nerf sniper that looks like a snake that shoots darts out of its open mouth? What have I been missing in Roblox?!

This Nerf gun doesn't really seem like much of a sniper to me. It just reminds me too much of the old Nerf Spectre with its 8-dart cylinder. But it does check off all the Nerf sniper boxes; integrated storage stock, detachable scope, and a pretty sweet looking extended barrel. I think kids will love this, so if you're shopping for a younger Nerfer, go for it.

The Fortnite BASR-L is a sniper rifle styled Nerf gun, ripped straight out of Fortnite and into your living room. It's based on the Rare variant of the games' Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle, which itself is based on the real steel Accuracy International AWP sniper rifle. The Nerf Fortnite BASR-L comes with a scope and six dart mag.

This is the same as the last one so consider it 7b. The Nerf Fortnite BASR-R is more appropriately named, though, since the R stands for Rare. The BASR-L is supposed to be for Legendary rarity, but they're both based on the Rare and lower version. /Rant. Anyway, this version is blue and comes with 3 Bush Targets.

The Nerf Fortnite Heavy Sniper Rifle is pulled straight from the game, but we all know it's based on the Barrett .50cal anti-materiel sniper rifle. And that thing was made to shoot through engines and armor! Accordingly, the Nerf version fires the huge Nerf MEGA Darts that pack a punch above the regular Elite Darts.

No matter what you think of the Nerf Ultra Series, the Pharaoh is a definite candidate for best Nerf gun sniper rifle, period. Super realistic bolt-action with the a smooth bolt cycle, integrated thumbhole stock, sniper scope, and even a large Barret .50cal style muzzle brake. Not to mention 100fps performance right out of the box, no modding required.

Now how could I end this list without mentioning Nerf Rival? Rival Series Nerf guns are high-powered and its High-Impact Rounds are more accurate than Nerf darts. Sounds perfect for a Nerf gun sniper rifle, right? Right! Enter in the bolt-action Nerf Rival Jupiter, the first true Nerf Rival sniper rifle. It's awesome!

Now, I hate to do this, but I did mention the Nerf Longshot in the intro to this article. You can achieve sniper-esque performance with a heavily modded Nerf Longshot, BUT... I just don't consider the Longshot to be a sniper rifle. It's more of a "designated heavy" Battle Rifle, like the FN SCAR-H.

This is one of the types of Nerf guns I was talking about when I said "uber powerful aftermarket Nerf guns." This heavy duty bolt-action Nerf gun sniper rifle is a modified version of Captain Slug's original Caliburn design. And this thing hits hard. Averaging over 250 FPS with every shot, this is a blaster destined for long range engagements.

If you are a Mandalorian, weapons are part of your religion. And if that's the case, you absolutely NEED this Nerf Star Wars Amban Phase-Pulse Sniper Rifle! It's a Nerf gun version of the iconic weapon from the show that features a light up scope and authentic sound effects upon loading or firing the blaster.
