Best loadout and attachment options for the Longbow Rifle

You can only unlock the Longbow Sniper Rifle once you reach level 28. And the grind is more than worth it. On the subject of coaxing you into the arduous task, it is important to mention that progress in the Modern Warfare beta won’t carry over to the full release. So you will have to unlock the gun once again in the game when it officially launches next month. But once you do have the gun in your possession, a well-placed headshot is all you need to take down your enemies in battle.
