2340 meters. See related link below.
L115A3, otherwise known as the Accuracy International Arctic Warfare. It fires the 8.58x70 cartridge (also known as .338 Lapua Magnum), and the shots made actually exceeded the projected range of the rifle.
His Sniper Rifle.
1800 meters is 5905 feet, which makes it something over a mile (5280 feet in a mile). Pretty good for a sniper rifle.
Corporal of Horse Craig Harrison of the British Army's Household Cavalry has two confirmed kills at a range of 2,475 m (2,707 yd), and made with a L115A3 Long Range Rifle chambered for the .338 cal. Lapua Magnum.Simo Hayha of Finland achieved 500+ kills in one hundred days of fighting.Vasili Zaitsev of USSR achieved 225 kills in World War 2, and went on to train snipers responsible for a further total of 3000+ kills.Carlos Hathcock achieved 93+ kills; held the world record for the longest confirmed kill for 35 years; he is also noted for having shot an enemy sniper through the scope, ironically as that sniper would have been about to do the same to him.Various snipers - as noted above - have achieved extreme long range confirmed kills in the modern era, but these are as much a matter of luck as they are of skill.
The Mosin Nagant model 91 was adapted by the Tsarist Imperial Russian Army in 1891, and fought it's first major war during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. Sniper kills, like aerial combat kills (dog-fights between war planes) are OFTEN exaggerated. As any real hunter will state; game (targets-aircraft, enemy soldiers, etc.) are often killed and the hunter/sniper/pilot never knew it; or the hunter/sniper/pilot often thought he killed his target and it turns out he never even hit it. Often times, more than one projectile (bullet) is flying towards the target, and multiple snipers/hunters/pilots CLAIM the same kill. This was one of the main reasons gun camera's were installed on fighter planes during WW2, continuing on thru the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Pilots will exaggerate...PHOTOS WON'T NORMALLY LIE. In defense of the Snipers/Hunters/Pilots, they often reported what they believed to be true during the "excitement" of the kill; thus the term "exaggeration." The US Army's XM-21 (M14 rifle) Sniper Rifle (officially called the sniper system) in Vietnam, used the 3 X 9 adjustible range finding Redfield scope for daytime use and had a maximum effective range of approximately 900 meters. The US Marines used a bolt action hunting rifle. Keeping in mind, the principle of "exaggeration", see website on Soviet sniper Valsily Zaytsev, who used the 1891 Nagant rifle in WW2.
The longest confirmed kill with a .50 sniper rifle was 2430 metres by a Canadian Forces sniper.

Corporal Rob Furlong, of the Canadian Forces, made the longest confirmed sniper kill in history, at a distance of 2,430 meters, using a McMillan Tac-50 rifle.
Your question is a bit ambiguous, so I'll go with the notion you're referring to the longest confirmed kill by a sniper. That was achieved with a rifle chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum.
The name of the sniper rifle in Brothers in Arms is the Springfield 1903A4 bolt-action rifle.
Bolt action.
The most commonly used sniper rifle in the Marines is the M-40A3. It is a standard bolt action rifle with a Remington 700 action that fires the 7.62X51 NATO round.
Depends on the model
The Type 97 Sniper Rifle is a Japanese bolt-action rifle using 308 Federal 175 grain bullet.
Yes you can put a bipod on any rifle.
a old ww2 bolt action sniper/combat rifle Springfield made many types of bolt action rifles over a century or so
The longest range of a single-shot rifle, meaning that one round is loaded directly into the ejection port and is pushed into the chamber by the bolt is 2600m. This is achieved by the Barrett M99 . The Barrett XM109 has the longest range of all Semi Automatic Sniper Rifles with an effective range of 2000m and a maximum range of 3600m The range of a sniper rifle is also affected by the ammunition used (normally .50 BMG)and obviously the skill of the marksman operating the actual equipment, the longest recorded sniper kill was 2,430 accomplished by a rifle with an effective range of only 2000m
