I don't know if this counts as a sniper rifle but the Russians had some hand-held anti-tank rifles that had very long barrels. But the modern sniper rifle is a .50 caliber like these anti-tank rifles were. Russian 14.5 mm antitank rifle PTRD-1941
Overall length: 78.7 inches
Barrel length: 48.3 inches http://www.rt66.com/~korteng/SmallArms/antitank.htm The Germans also made some Panzerbüchse ("Tank Rifle") rifles. The PzB 38 had an overall length of 161.5 cm.
The PzB 39 had an overall length of 162cm; barrel length 108.5cm; total weight (incl. bipod and carrying sling but no magazines) 12.6kg.
