If it's a bolt-action sniper rifle you're looking for, and you're in a bit of a budget, I'm with the other folks who recommend a Russian Mosin Nagant 91/30. You can get a very good condition for around $120. Sporterize it with a good scope and you can have a sniper for $200 complete. You don't need to go with the classic PE/PU scopes to keep the colletibility.
And it really, really is a sniper. It's a classic. It was used that way in its time. If you watched Enemy at the Gates (WWII story when Nazis invaded Stalingrad & Russies made a last stand), the hero of that movie was the Mosin 91/30.
