                        Dragon does a great set of modern(ish) US Snipers.  They are using gear that dates to ODS ('90-'91) time frame.  If you swap out the torsos for IBA-clad ones from the Dragon Modern Marines set, or any other IBAs, you will have good, modern US snipers.

                        Look for dragons SBS set. One of the figures has the current sniper rifle in it (L96?). And look for Blast Models kit BL351o5K which has most of the modern sniper rifles in it.

                        Dragon makes a set of SBS w/kayak that with some work could be done into modern British snipers. Look with all the different resin (Verlinden, Warriors, etc) figure companies out there now as well. New things are popping up all the time that may fall into what you are looking for.

                        Check Verlinden's line up, they may have something.
