EzraThe Russians (Soviets) utilized the Model 1891 Mosin-Nagant bolt action 7.62mm rifle.
The US (Americans) used the 1903 bolt action Springfield 30-06 rifle. The M1 Garand was also outfitted with the usual scope, etc. but the bolt gun was far more accurate than the semi-automatic Garand.
The Japanese used the Arisaka 7.7mm bolt action rifle.
The Springfield 1903-A3 was likely the best sniper rifle of World War II. It was the most available and the most accurate.
