FAL or G3 are you kiddin? You mean the HK G3? No way. It's a selfloading assault rifle with an effective range of about 400 meters. Good for the average soldier, a sniper needs something better. Personally I prefere the savage 110 or 11 fp because it's so cheap. You can get one for a few hundred $. In the precision rifle indexes it is listed along with hitech rifles way bejond 10K$. It's about the same as the remington m700 that is used by the us police and as far as I know also by some special sniper troups in the usa. There are several bolt action rifles that are good, such as the steyr ssg69, or even some old ww2 rifles such as the german mauser 98 system or the russian Mosin Nagant. They all feature an effective range of 800 to 1000 meters. IMHO that's the best you can get out of a caliber like 308, for higher range one should use .50 bmg or maybe lapua 338 mag.
.308 is a nice caliber since you still can find subsonic ones (eg. by RUAG).
But this is now slightly off topic, problably we should continue in an other forum :)
