Springfield The M1903-A1 and M1903-A4 .30-06 rifles with a variety of scopes were used by most US snipers during WW 2. The Unertl 8X was the scope preferred by the USMC. the military also made limited use of M1 garand sniper rifles.
the answer is unknown but we know the captain of one ship was called Digby dick the guns were called springfields
They definitely would have had the M1903A6, the sniper version of the Springfield 1903, and possibly the sniper version of the M1 Garand. Both fired the .30-06 round. The M21 (sniper version of the M14) did not arrive until 1969, and the Remington M40 did not see service until 1966. In 1965 the most commonly used rifles were the M1903A6, M-1D Garand and the Winchester Model 70, all chambered in 30.06. By 1967-1968 the Winchester Model 70 was being replaced by the Remington 700 in .308.
The marines used many gun models throughout the war. However, the primary weapon of US forces was the M-1 Garand. The M1 Carbine and M14 were also frequently used rifles.

sniping
Standard infantry rifles did not, but there were scoped rifles used for sniping during WWI.
the m14 came into use just before the Vietnam war but scince it was heavy and the recoil was bad in full automatic it quickly was replaced by the M16 but still used it as a sniper rifle and marines today are dusting off old m14s and using them as sniper rifles
By which side? The US and its allies used 7.62x51 for their sniper rifles. The North Vietnamese typically used 7.62x54R for theirs.
The main weapons used for world war 1 happen to be the muskets, poisonous gas, airplanes, and sniper rifles
A sniper rifle is simply a rifle used by a military sniper. Just about every gun shop will carry hunting rifles. The type will vary depending on what you are hunting- squirrels, rabbit, deer, turkey, bear, elk or elephants. What you are calling a "sniper rifle" is simply a bolt action center fire rifle with a telescope.

You will have to define the term "Sniper rifle". It could mean anything. The only TRUE sniper rifle is a rifle issued to a sniper. They are simply rifles that are capable of long range accurate shooting. The rifles used by US military snipers during the Vietnam was were simply civilian hunting rifles with decent telescopes.
Mainly the US and it's allies, but all sides have used sniper rifles.
shotguns to handguns to sniper rifles etc...
This is subjected to opinion but they most used sniper rifles are the Barret 50. Cal and the Intervention. The Intervention is the more commonly used of the two so it is considered the best sniper rifle.
