No. The standard sniper rifle for the US was the 1903 Springfield, mounted with a telescopic sight. Later a version of the M-1 was scope mounted as well. All other nations that had snipers used their standard infantry rifle mounted with a telescopic sight.

What is the difference between a Ptrs Sniper Rifle and a Barret 50cal Sniper rifle?

The PTRS is mainly used as an anti- tank sniper and the 50 cal is just a normal sniper rifle. =============== The PTRS was a sniper rifle made by the Russians during world war 2, it was used to take down heavy infantry and light vehicles like half tracks and jeeps. The Barret 50 Calibre sniper rifle is an anti-infantry sniper rifle, used for all purpose battlefield deployment. However, the modern day anti-armour sniper is the Intervention, this bolt-action sniper rifle is used in Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (wow... took me ages to write that title) which for some reason does no more damage than the Barret. The intervention can slice through light-to-medium armour in seconds, killing anybody inside.
