Depends which sniper rifle you are looking for. ZF 41 are easily faked especially with the reproduction mounts and scopes available. The K43 with original mount and scope are going to be expensive, I would say 3K and up. The turret mount ones are easily faked as well, well at least the mounts are. Authentic turrets are goings are going to cost up to 10K. I saw one sold at Rock Island Auction for some 18K!!! Definitely read all you can about snipers. With the fakes going out there, I would definitely want to hold and examine one up close before shelling out that kind of money. Good luck!
