During the early part of WWII the marines bought a bit over 300 Model 70 target rifles to test as future sniper rifles.

This is one of those: The CMP has it on their auction site.

It ain't gonna go cheap. It was just posted today, 11 bidders and already up to over a grand.

Glad I'm Army so I don't have to bid on it.
