Using a bolt action rifle, kill an enemy Scout in multiplayer

How to unlock the Counter-sniper achievement in Battlefield 1 - Definitive Guide

The Scout class in Multiplayer has a bolt-action rifle unlocked by default, so kill an enemy scout with it and you'll earn this achievement!

I got this achievement after shooting an enemy and a teammate finished them off before they had a chance to heal. The default Scout rifle seems to do 75 damage by default so shooting someone and your teammate killing them should give you the Assist Counts as Kill points and the Achievement.

I tried to look for the glint of the enemy Scout's sniper rifle scope but I haven't been able to see it consistently.

If the enemy Scout has been Spotted look out for the Crosshair emblem (it looks like a Plus sign with a circle around it, with the top of the plus missing). You can see it here in the upper-right corner of this image:

According to TorqueOTheDevil in the Comments there is another method for getting this achievement: While on horseback you should be able to get a Scout kill with the rifle and earn the Achievement as well.

I am pretty sure the shine from the sniper only shows when they are aiming.

Is this specific to a game mode? I've killed no shortage of scouts with a bolt action and yet no achievement?

No, I'm pretty sure this will unlock as long as you are playing a Ranked Multiplayer match. (I see you just unlocked this achievement a few minutes ago DAKILLAHBEE, congrats)

Whilst using the scout class kill an enemy scout in multiplayer whilst using a bolt action sniper, the default class starts off with the weapon required to get the achievement.

Look out for enemy scout sniper scope glints in the distance to help you locate their positions.

Legitimately all you need to do is to play scout and kill anything that moves

To unlock this achievement you will need to kill an enemy Scout while using a Bolt-action rifle in multiplayer. You will begin with a Bolt-action rifle if you play as the Scout and this is sufficient for the achievement. Now you can simply play and try to take out another Scout or you can try to organize boosting this with another player, though it likely won't be necessary. If you wish to find someone else to play with, please use the achievement boosting thread HERE.

To get this trophy you need to start a multiplayer game and pick the scout class. If you haven’t played multiplayer yet then your primary weapon should already be a bolt action rifle. There is usually a decent amount of scout players in the game but if you can’t find one then look around the area and if you see a glint coming from afar then a scout player is sniping from that area. All you need to do is go and find the player and kill them, or you can just walk along the outskirts of the map where you should be able to find a scout player sniping. All you need to do is kill that scout player with the bolt action rifle in order to get this trophy.

As a sniper class, you need to kill an enemy sniper with a sniper rifle. Any one will do, even the very first one. Headshot is not required)

Today I easily did it playing as a cavalryman))) It’s not necessary to kill from a horse, you can get off the horse and you will have a cavalryman’s weapon, it’s just with a sliding bolt and we just look for a scout and kill him))

Glitchy trophy. I played in different modes and also didn’t drop out for a long time. The method is this: restart the console, re-enter the game (there are frequent updates) and select the “Capture” mode (did not appear in operations), after starting the game, wait a minute for the server and your network data to load. The trophy dropped on the first kill.

You can also simply respawn as a cavalryman (horse) and kill an enemy scout from a horse.
