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.

Actually there was no best sniper rifle during world war 2 because it was never tested. Different countries used different weapons.
The main weapons used for world war 1 happen to be the muskets, poisonous gas, airplanes, and sniper rifles
You shoot the guy with the sniper, I like to burn em' out.
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.
Well Snipers were in evrey squad but just a Sniper team was used for Recon.
Warner & Swasey sniper scope used by US troops during WW!
Assuming that the question should read "what sniper rifle did the Germans use in world war 2" the answer is as follows: Most commonly the K98 Mauser was used, with an optical sight. Secondly the G41 semi-automatic rifle was used, designed by Walther. Also fitted with an optical sight.

the German did have 30 cal. luger pistols in WW2
