The AUR AX is also a great choice and one of the best assault rifles you can find in DayZ.

The M70 Tundra on the other hand, is simply one of the best sniper rifles in the game. But then again, you might want to use it only if needed in particular situations, it is definitely not a hip shooter. The Mosin is also a close second in regards to the best sniper rifles that you can find in DayZ.
