They definitely would have had the M1903A6, the sniper version of the Springfield 1903, and possibly the sniper version of the M1 Garand. Both fired the .30-06 round. The M21 (sniper version of the M14) did not arrive until 1969, and the Remington M40 did not see service until 1966. In 1965 the most commonly used rifles were the M1903A6, M-1D Garand and the Winchester Model 70, all chambered in 30.06. By 1967-1968 the Winchester Model 70 was being replaced by the Remington 700 in .308.
