The following guns were used in the movie Sniper
M40A1
Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Beckett (Tom Berenger), USMC Sniper, uses an M40A1 Sniper Rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO which is based on the Remington Model 700 Bolt Action Rifle. The M40A1 rifles used in the film were Remington 700 rifles, supplied for the filming by 'Weapons and Effects' of San Rafael, CA. The rifles were fully prepared as though they would see real use, with aftermarket bedding, trigger jobs, McMillan stocks and parkerization done by Scott, McDougall & Associates of Santa Rosa, CA.
Heckler & Koch SR9TC
SWAT sniper Richard Miller (Billy Zane) uses a Heckler & Koch SR9TC as his main sniper rifle.

Note in the screenshot below that it lacks the forward assist, which characterizes the factory SR9TC.
