Breda M1D 308 sniper

Unfortunately not.
I’ll look for info, but I guess that we never really used those rifles.
When I was in the army, we had quite a few of those rifles in the armory, but we didn’t have any marksmen or snipers in the normal outfits.
Shortly before the end of my servive, somewhere around late spring ‘95, we were asked to select a few privates for marksman/sniper course.
But they were never trained.
Maybe after that, but I would bet they were issued more modern weapons.

Thank you for replying! Now you have my even bigger attention, ha! By any chance do you know how sniper school / training was looking like at that time? Sorry for all the questions...
