Sniper is a 1993 action thriller starring Tom Berenger as Master Gunnery Sgt. Thomas Beckett, a USMC sniper who is paired with a rookie CIA sniper when assigned a mission to Colombia to eliminate a drug cartel leader. Berenger would return as Beckett in Sniper 2 and Sniper 3.
The following weapons were used in the film Sniper (1993):

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 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
CIA sniper Richard Miller (Billy Zane) uses the Heckler & Koch SR9TC rifle as his weapon of choice.
