Winchester Model 70
One of the best known U.S. Marine Corps snipers who used the Winchester Model 70 during the Vietnam War was Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock who used a Winchester Model 70 sniper rifle chambered in .30-06. It was this rifle, equipped with a standard 8x43 Unertl scope, that Hathcock used to kill a North Vietnamese enemy sniper by shooting him in the eye, through the scope of his Mosin-Nagant, a Russian military rifle. Hathcock's rifle is on display at the Quantico, Virginia Marine Corps Sniper Museum.
I use hemp string to fill in gaps between rolled up tubes of card to make the scopes sit tightly together, making sure everything sits straight all the way into the frame tends to be a challenge!
