5 Best Nerf Sniper Scopes

Nerf snipers are built for long-range combat. With greater power, larger bodies, and more accessories to support their function, a sniper rifle is a must in any child’s Nerf collection.

With that in mind, the biggest issue that sniper loves face is getting the accuracy they want. Although many snipers are renowned for their range, getting them to hit their mark is a different story entirely.

Best Nerf Sniper Scope

1. Nerf Modulus Day/Night Zoom Scope

The Nerf Modulus series has really cornered the market, offering the majority of the products that we’re going to cover in this guide.

NERF Modulus Day/Night Zoom Scope

The first of the scopes that you should definitely consider if you’re looking to enhance your sniper’s accuracy is the Nerf Modulus Day/Night Zoom Scope.

The Nerf Modulus Day/Night Zoom Scope is an impressive piece of technology that allows you to zoom into your target up to 5 times, offers an infrared mode and a bright light mode so that you can see through your scope most effectively during day or night battles, and a display screen with a shield over the top to protect the screen from glaring lights while you’re aiming at your target.

If you have a child that wants an awesome scope for their blaster, the Nerf Modulus Day/Night Zoom Scope should be at the top of your list!

2. Nerf Rival Red Dot Sight

When you think of Nerf scopes, you most likely picture the small plastic products containing a printed on sight that’s designed to help you hone in on your targets.

Although these certainly do work and allow you to become more accustomed to how your gun fires, there are other options out there.

For example, if your child has a Nerf Rival blaster, the Nerf Rival Red Dot Sight may be a better choice. The Nerf Rival Red Dot Sight is a sleek, compact Nerf scope that locks onto the top of the blaster and forces a laser through the scopes plastic to help you get a clear shot of the target.

The scope itself is adjustable so that you can find the perfect position for your shots as well. Although this scope may only be helpful in darker environments, it’s worth the purchase if you tend to play in teams later in the evening.

  • Includes red dot sight, camlock, and instructions
  • Requires 2 AAA batteries (not included)

Worth Mentioning: Nerf Rival Red Dot Sight and Nerf Rival Flashlight Combo

Are you looking to get even more out of your Nerf Rival experience? Nerf also sells a flashlight grip and red dot sight combo that ensures full visibility and accuracy on the playing field.

Better yet, you can use your flashlight grip to stun the opponents and prevent them from getting a clear shot on you.

Not every player may need both pieces of equipment, but if they find value in more high-tech attachments like these, they’re certainly worth looking into.

9.4
  • Experience intense head-to-head competition with the precision and power of the Nerf Rival blasters!
  • Customize Nerf Rival blasters with the Flashlight Grip and use the LED light to illuminate the battle action, or the Red Dot Sight to land your target with even more accuracy.
  • The grip is removable, allowing the flashlight to be used separately.
  • A quick-release camlock lets battlers easily attach and remove the flashlight from their Nerf Rival blaster (sold separately).

3. Nerf Modulus Targeting Light Beam

Back to the Nerf Modulus series, we have a product that offers a similar experience to the previous mention on this list: the Nerf Modulus Targeting Light Beam.

Nerf Modulus Targeting Light Beam(Discontinued by manufacturer)
The Nerf Modulus Targeting Light Beam is a compact tactical attachment that uses a green laser beam instead of a red one to help you lock onto your targets during battle (although you’re likely to get more use out of it during the night than during the day, as it is with most of the laser scopes in the Nerf series).

Some users do say that it can be rather dim, which may be the result of poor batteries or batteries that aren’t fresh enough.

Make sure that you keep an extra change on hand so that you can get the strongest laser possible from the Nerf Modulus Targeting Light Beam.

  • N-Strike Elite blasters and Elite darts deliver the ultimate in blaster performance

4. Nerf Modulus Stealth Upgrade Kit

Sometimes, the scopes worth adding to your collection aren’t just a single product, but part of a kit designed to enhance your overall blasting experience.

Nerf Modulus Stealth Upgrade Kit

One such kit that’s perfect for snipers is the Nerf Modulus Stealth Upgrade Kit. The Nerf Modulus Stealth Upgrade Kit is a kit featuring three helpful tools.

The first is a folding grip that will allow you to steady your shots if you don’t have a bipod or an area where you can easily rest your weapon.

The second is a proximity barrel attachment that’s designed to help you get more accurate shots when you do fire your blaster at opponents.

Lastly, we have the scope, which features a red dot sight to help you track opponents and ensure that you’re firing at them rather than off to the side.

If you want comprehensive support with your Modulus blaster or a blaster from another series, get the Nerf Modulus Stealth Upgrade Kit.

  • N-Strike Elite blasters and Elite darts deliver the ultimate in blaster performance

5. Nerf Modulus Long Range Targeting Upgrade Kit

If you’re looking for an alternative to the above, another kit that you should check out is the Nerf Modulus Long Range Targeting Upgrade Kit.

The Nerf Modulus Long Range Targeting Upgrade Kit offers a similar collection of attachments as the Nerf Modulus Stealth Upgrade Kit, replacing the folding grip with a bipod to help you steady your shots on a flat surface or even while lying in wait for your enemies, a long barrel that’s designed to help your darts fly farther, and a normal distance scope to help you target your enemies without any special tech.

If your child prefers a more traditional blasting experience, choose the Nerf Modulus Long Range Targeting Upgrade Kit instead.
