Modern Sniper Rifles

just a note to remind you that a drugonov uses a 7.62 x 54R cartridge noy the ak 7.62 x 39. everything is  upgraded including the entire fireare and the magazine. it is not just an AK 47 with a scope and longer barrel!

yes, in the early days and then it went remington 700s' with 10X scopes i believe, we had no set rifle then, it varied from unit to unit.

M1D scoped Garands were used in Viet Nam, at least early on.  My primary reference book on this is at home, but I have confirmed my memory online: scroll through this to M1D section

EDIT--Official Army Sniper Rifle until the Mid 1960s.  An early Viet Nam setting would be perfect. 

Edit, and a picture since you'll have to come up with a flash hider and the scope, I should make sure you know what they look like

Why don't you carry the ghilie over to the rifles?  They are barely recognizable with the camo, and a sniper's veil would conceal everything behind the scope objective.  Just use any old long rifle and replace the barrel with some rod to replicate the bull barrel.

Assuming you mean to show them in a shooting pose, that is.

Dragon's MP-5/G3 Family set comes with the PSG-1 rifle. I believe that one of their two AK-47/74 family sets comes with a Dragunov.
