What rifle scopes did they use in the Vietnam war?

The US Army had little interest in sniping during the war, and issued an M14 service rifle (that they called an XM21 weapons system) along with a brand new Redfield 3 X 9 range finder equipped scope. US Army snipers were trained in country by division or brigade (if no division was in country). No US Army sniper school existed in CONUS (Continental United States) during the war. The USMC were the heavies in sniping and established the first official sniper school in the US in 1969. The USMC used the best hunting rifles and the best hunting rifle scopes during the war.

What is the price of World War 2 German sniper rifle?

A WWII German sniper rifle is at once VERY rare. If you chance upon one at a gun show, depending on the condition of the piece, it can fetch at least $1,500. And THAT would be the low-end price for a Mauser KAR 98 (bolt action) with an original scope in perhaps rough condition. You would have to be very careful that the rifle itself had the original scope (Zeiss optik, or Henseldt type) matched to the rifle. Now the rifle itself should also have matching numbers on every piece in order for the value to be justified. There have been numerous post-war-to-present Mausers fitted with scopes and the unwary buyer not knowing this can purchase a "re-conditioned" Mauser fitted with an original German scope, but the value of such a rifle will be reduced as that sniper was not truly original. I have seen these going for $1,300. But an original GI bring-back in above average shape and un-tampered with will bring upwards of $3,000.
