Assuming you mean which sniper rifle (as it is quite obvious from the plot who the actual sniper was), the weapons used over the series include: * M40 (customised Remington 700); * H&K SR9T (a target-shooting variant); * SVD (Dragunov sniper rifle); * Mosin Nagant M91/30 (mislabelled as a Mauser in the film). Other weapons are used in the third film, but no record of their make could be found.
