According to Wik...

Shooter depicts a number of sniper tactics, thanks to the guidance of former U.S. Marine scout sniper Patrick Garrity, who trained Mark Wahlberg in sniper tactics. Garrity taught Wahlberg to learn shooting both left and right-handed (the actor is left-handed), as he had to switch shooting posture throughout the movie, due to Swagger's sustained injuries. He was also trained to adjust a weapon's scope, judge effects of wind to a shot, do rapid bolt manipulation and develop special breathing skills. His training included extreme distance shooting (up to 1,100 yards), and the use of camouflague ghillie suits. Fuqua appointed Garrity as the film's military technical advisor.[4]

Throughout the film Swagger uses an array of sniper weapons, among which are the USMC M40A3 rifle[5] and Barrett M95[6] sniper rifles and Donnie Fenn used an M4 Carbine with a M203 grenade launcher and M68 Close Combat Optic in the African opening sequences, Cheyenne Tactical M-200 Intervention in .408 CheyTac[7][8] used to shoot the Dinty Moore stew can, and Remington 700P in .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO). Weapons used by Swagger include a Beretta 92 and a commandeered M4 Carbine with reflex sight, in the fight against the 24 mercenaries and a Colt M1911-A1 in the final shootout scene.
