How to unlock the Marksman Master achievement in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS - Definitive Guide
The key here is the 100 meter distance. Each small square on the mini map is 100 square meters. If you down an enemy from less than 100 meters away, you can run away from him until you are past 100 meters and then finish the kill from that distance to help count towards the achievement.

It seems like any kill with an AR counts towards the 100 meter distance, might just be for me though?

In my experience the actual distance doesn't seem to matter at all, only whether or not you have a zooming scope equipped.

As of 05/01/2020 The easiest method for This achievement and a lot of others such as the care package loot and level 3 armor achievements is to go to the settings and turn off cross-play. Then search for a First-person 1 man squad game. Wait for the game to start and search for an assault rifle. I would always grab one and an SMG. Throw a suppressor on the assault rifle as well to work towards the kills with that. These matches are mainly populated with random bots so you won't die from running around. You can also grind out other achievements with this method such as win 10 games and KIll 1000 enemies. Please let me know if this method gets patched for whatever reason and I will update the guide. Happy Hunting!

As of 10/08/2018 this achievement does not track properly - however it is still possible to obtain.
The only assault rifle's that appear to track kills towards this achievement are the M16A4 and the M416. The distance (100 meters away) is not required, feel free to kill enemies from any range; what you MUST do - to progress this achievement - is make sure you are aiming down the IRON SIGHT. I have tried aiming with a red dot sight on numerous occasions and not once has it tracked the kill. 6x scopes appear to work on occasion but they are not consistent. At this time the only sure fire way to progress this achievement is using the weapons iron sights.
I have not been able to test every sniper rifle but can confirm that the VSS, Winchester, Mini 14, and M24 do not count towards this achievement, even from a distance greater than 100 meters.
Note: As of 06/21/19 it sounds like this achievement still tracks incorrectly. I want to reemphasize that distance does NOT track correctly and iron sights appear to still be your best bet - thanks andresfgp13 for reconfirming that. I wanted to clarify that I no longer play PUBG and am unaware of recent updates/changes but wanted to leave this solution up because there are helpful comments below.

The mini 14 counted for me, but not the Kar98

Qbz counts from all ranges it seems

100 meters is a fair way away in PUBg but 4x, 6x, 8x and 15x scopes will obviously make this easier. If your enemy is moving and/or unaware or you, take the extra 1/2 a second to aim for the head. Aim ahead of running enemies and keep bullet drop in mind also.
Note: The "Marksman Master" achievement is currently bugged as the QBZ, AK47, M16A4, M416, VSS Vintorez, and QBU are confirmed to track towards this achievement at LESS than 100 meters; Take advantage of this before it's patched. Those are the confirmed guns that work at less than 100 meters. I imagine any Assault Rifle or Sniper class weapon will track towards this achievement.
Glitched. From my experience, it doesn't need to be a kill from over 100m. I have gotten this after downing a enemy with my AR and then doing a point blank kill (and a headshot) with the SR.
The best way to grind this is with bots, playing Squad of 1.
Use SRs that don't need to reload after each bullet fired. Also keep an eye for help crates. They often have the AWM wich use Magnum bullets and destroy people like they are nothing.
Doing this alongside Trigonometry Novice will save you time.
In case you're wondering, each square in the mini map has 100m².
