I know Zvezda does a kit, but I hear the figures need some work... They are in quite a few poses:

I have the dragon kit the figures are quite good. I don't have the Zvezda kit but remember reading that it wasn't so hot.

I have the Zvezda kit - it's not very good at all...
1. Figures are too small - they seem to be out of scale,
2. they are very imperfect, they are sculpted with very few details and not very precisely
3. they are simply and subjectively ugly…

the dragon kit arrived today, and it only looks like 2 guns have the sniper scope.

There are only two snipers. The other guys are spotters!

If I remember rightly two of the scopes are seperate, so have a good look on the sprue. The box art shows scopes on all four rifles.

The Tamiya German Infantry Weapons set has two Kar 98 Sniper rifles with scopes. And it's fairly cheap too...

I built that set some years ago, and I remember all the rifles having scopes.

i took a look and i only saw 2 scopes. 1 was already on the gun and the other was on the sprue. The one i got was the 10th anniversary edition, so i dont know if they changed it. I will look one more time, but i didnt see them. i can probably scratchbuild some if i have to
